Start feeling Life!*

You know that feeling you get after sharing a passionate moment with someone?

That feeling of tranquility, laying in bed, softly caressing each other? That moment when you both create a beautiful little space that no one can enter? Do you know that feeling? For me, that moment is a spark of beautiful attachment. It comes and goes like lighting but feels so good.

When you are vulnerable but safe, when you can talk for hours, knowing that those instants are precious, that they can’t be ripped away from you. Do you know why there are so special? Because you are attached to the moment and the person, without overthinking, you can be you for a few hours or minutes. That moment of sexy, beautiful anonymous attachment is perfect.

Yet, it’s funny how we have become unattached as a society.

We always seem to want more attachment, more attention, more closeness. But, when it comes down to it, we cannot attach, speak out about how we feel or what hurts us, stand up for ourselves, and have a real conversation.

We are in a constant search for a thrill. Some seek a relationship, others new friends and others simply want to be noticed.

I can identify with many of these situations because I’ve been there. I constantly look for comprehension, attachment, and new ways of validating myself. But when a person or an unexpected situation comes along, I sometimes push it away, and I have no idea why.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe how happy I am, how much I am thriving, and how much I freaking want to share it with the people around me.

We forget how beautiful it is to have an intimate moment with someone and then talk about the fantastic things going on in our lives. We forget how incredible it is to just be without prejudices or fear. Just be yourself in those vulnerable but safe moments you share in bed.

I use this example because I’ve had the chance to live with very few people, yet it is a moment many of us have experienced. A moment of connection and attachment.

Because how incredible does it feel to open yourself up? To see and be seen, to be attached and present for those little moments. So why aren’t we more attached to new friends, experiences, colleagues, or random and amazing people?

How lovely would it be to go through life being open to attachment, to meet random people who might change your life forever? Trust the person in front of you even if you don’t know them that much. How amazing would it be to let yourself go and be open to the unexpected soothing feeling of attachment?

I invite you to try it, to say how you feel, and let others like you want you as you are.

So let yourself go a little, get attached, run, feel, love, cry, laugh, jump and fall. But most of all, let someone help you up.

Start feeling life.

With much love (and attachment),
