I left to heal

The way back home
Yes, I had to leave everything I once knew in order to confront the inner demons still concealed within my soul. It was not an easy decision to make, yet I understand now that life itself abides by the Law of Evolution.
There may come a time when you wonder why I no longer communicate, why I stopped visiting familiar places, or why it might seem as though I have forgotten everything we once shared. Please remember this — I have not vanished; I am simply healing.
The best way to explain this is through the life cycle of a butterfly: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally, the adult form. My life, too, began as a collection of values, ideas, and desires — my egg stage. From them, I acted, and as a result, I created my own fragment of reality — the caterpillar stage. Caterpillars eat voraciously and grow rapidly; so did I, along with the reality I shaped from my beliefs and desires.
It is within this stage that we, as human beings, witness the manifestation of our most intimate thoughts. And it is here that we discover, for better or for worse, whether our inner world is aligned with our truest desires — or if, instead, a hidden emotional wound has quietly directed us to create a reality we did not wish for.
Once the caterpillar ceases to grow, it becomes a chrysalis. When I say “I am healing,” I mean that I am within that sacred chrysalis phase. Now, I must shed the old skin that once helped me create a reality that no longer serves me. I must dive into the darkness of my cocoon to listen to the whispers of my soul. Now, I need stillness — protection, solitude, silence. I must not move; I must not seek distractions, I must discipline my mind. My eyes are closed, my antennae turned inward, and my entire awareness rests within my darkness — my greatest teacher. She always brings new lessons. In the stillness and in the dark, everything is being quietly prepared for the miraculous metamorphosis to unfold — one that will transform my very presence in this physical world, elevating me to a new level of consciousness, from which I shall emerge as a radiant butterfly. And then, the cycle begins anew.
Do not take it personally — this is my process, my path back home. It is my way of loving, of restoring, of alchemising, of unlearning and learning anew. Transformation is change itself, and none of us should resist the eternal rhythm of life, which is in constant evolution. I know myself — I know that I shall return stronger, ready to embrace the changes that such a profound metamorphosis brings, and wiser, to transcend them.
I must go now — the healing train is about to depart. I do not know how long this journey will take. Perhaps I shall see you on the way back, perhaps not. Perhaps you will board your own train, or perhaps not — and that is perfectly all right. Your journey is not mine. Your process is not mine. Yet deep within, I hold a clear intuition that sooner or later, we are all heading towards the same final destination.
So I must say goodbye for now.
I leave to heal.
