Catacombe

your game is multi-level

With your image so curated, every bit of you speaking your razor sharp truth, it is easy to forget this layer came last.

The only logical outcome after a process that took you through every cell of your being.

And to the gates of hell and back.

A few weeks ago, I was on the verge of Googling what “Flirting in subtext” meant.
I suspected (and fervently hoped!) it was my natural flirting style, which was odd to say the least, because I did not even know what flirting in subtext meant!

I felt SEEN, by my own creative word play, and even if Google didn’t come up with anything I was still convinced there were more people with this flirting style.
The rare ones, who had flirted back….

But before I got around it, the answer unfolded naturally, from a conversation that initially appeared to be about an entirely unrelated topic.
Which was when I asked someone to help me untangle something about myself.

I asked them:
“I crave deep connection in friendships, but we rarely have what others would view as deep conversations.
How is that possible?
How can I crave depth, and apparently find it in fun and banter?”

And what we found is that what happens when people connect at their deepest levels, the communication channel itself is freed up.
And can now be used in whatever way the two of you fancy.
Which in my case, often means play.

A great performer, is someone who has mastered all the layers of their being.
They can speak without words, touch without using their hands and connect without even being in the same room.
They create a bond, that transcends time and space.

Naturally, the people who can pick up on that frequency, are excited!
Convinced that this is magic.
Because it is.

But it is the one who answers that call, on an energetic level, using their words for something else entirely;
Those, are the ones we remember.

It is then, that we feel seen.

give us something real

We don’t care for the polished, the post-productioned, the copy-edited and the filter that took a decade off your face.

Show us the nitty gritty.

For years, yes, actual years (I know you probably won’t believe me) I’ve struggled publishing a book that will be my magnum opus.
I did not write it under this name, so I probably should not even tell you this because it’s secretive, not transparent, and then the status of what you should be doing with this information becomes unclear as well.
The point, Rock Star.
The point!

You, reading advice from someone telling only half a story?
That’s the kind of messy not-fitted-for-your-brand randomness we’re craving to see from you.

As I was saying, for years now, I’m struggling with this book.
And it’s tempting to suggest it’s the psychological weight of it, because it’s about a man who broke up with me years ago.
But No!
I’m simply really bad at copy editing, and at getting big projects like this done.

I don’t have a mold for it, and it took me a decade after I started writing, before I had my first book in print.

And nothing changed as I’m still terribly slow and I have dropped this project so often I could cry if I think about all the lost time.
It’s probably even barricading my love life to have this unfinished manuscript blocking anything that wants to come in.

But want to know my biggest mistake?
This whole idea of copy-editing, this slow as a snail process I am making myself go through.

Embarrassed, every time I find errors.
And I find a lot.
And I find them again when after 3 years I look at the first chapter which has already been edited six times prior.

It’s like pulling teeth!!!
PERFECTLY GOOD TEETH

Because that creepy sketch you drew drunk in the middle of the night?

That photo you took, when your lens broke down because it had sand in it?

The diary with all the random entries?

Give. It. To. Us.

your vision board speaks

From the thoughts endlessly mulled over and chewed on
To the unsatisfactory photo where the model didn’t have your hair color
And the random clippings that had a pleasant aesthetic and were (you were sure of this!) without meaning

Your inner-world craft a spell of them.

I saw it from the corner of my eye.

The laminated A4 had been used as the backcover to a binder I used to collect my most important blogs in.
Posts I did not want to forget.

Until there were so many of them that even the biggest ring I had for my binding machine, could no longer hold them.
I started a new volume and archived this one on the shelves next to my window.

And as I looked out the window contemplating what I would write today, I saw the old vision board.
Holding on to years of my most important blogs for me.
Which of course, I all forgot.

I took it off the shelves and my eyes went over the landscape A4 of the collage, and wondered what year it was from.
Because my dreams had always been the same.
My role models were unchanging, although every five to ten years or so a new one could be added.
The collage depicted both pictures of me as well as different female stars, all representing different areas of my life.
And pictures of male stars, sometimes together with a woman, representing the men in my life and then the woman represented me.

All of this was eternal.

Yet where I had tried to be specific in what I wanted, I had failed to achieve it.

On the inside of the back cover, so the back of the vision board, I had made a complementary blueprint of how to become that woman on the vision board.
It has blogs and channels and ideas on it, I dropped ages ago.

Signed on the day this quest would begin:
Independence Day 2021

As if my dreams required a battle plan in order to be conquered.

But on the front, every photo with every woman;
Still me.
