Forgiveness & Moving Forward

For the past three months I have been so focused on my own pain, my own hurt, my own feelings. 
I was consumed with myself. It's all I could think about. It was so overwhelming. It's all I could feel. 
I was in survival mode. I was doing anything and everything to not give you what you had asked for, space. It felt like I was slowly suffocating, I was dying. I did anything to just not feel that. It was incredibly selfish of me. Looking back, you asking for space was probably very hard for you to do. But, it was something that needed to be done.

I was so focused on my pain, not once was I able to step into your shoes for a minute.  Try to see things from your perspective. I'm sure everyone would have done things a little differently, and I shouldn't have thought the way you handled things was "wrong." There is no right and wrong when it comes to how people should or shouldn't feel.

You used to say, "Have I lied to you ?" and my answer was always "No." I wish I could have been more trusting, and not so desperate, the very first time you asked for space. I kicked and screamed for far too long before finally giving you what you wanted. That was wrong of me. Selfish and needy of me. That was me trying to guilt trip and control you into talking to me. Because I needed you to. It wasn't what you wanted, but what I wanted. 

During this time, all the desperate messages I sent you, were just that, complete desperation. When I called you a narcissist, a cold heartless person, it was out of pure hurt and desperation. I never meant what I said, I was just so so hurt. It wasn't true. Deep down I know that. You've comforted me many, many times, times like the hotel room, where I will never forget your arms around me as I was crying hysterically. The time you came to Foods Plus to get me when I was feeling suicidal. Even the last time we stayed together at Karen's, you were so exhausted from working, but you still came to comfort me. I took you for granted. Something, If I ever get the chance, I will never do again.

You've done so much for me, and because of my stupid dreams or expectations of how I thought things should have been, I was never able to live in the moment, I always had to have an end goal. That was on me and I never should have projected my wants and desire onto you. 

I am truly sorry for calling you names when I was hurt. Saying mean things about you to my friends. Being hurt was no excuse to do this. 


My overwhelming pain caused me to do and say things that I am not proud of, and you never deserved.  Please accept my apology. I'm deeply sorry for any pain I caused you. It was not done on purpose. I would like it if we both could learn and grow from this experience. 
Move forward and start new. When your ready.


Seacoast Flote ~ My First Flote


Seacoast Flote: Relax, Recharge, Reset

Today I went to Seacoast Flote for my first float. My beautiful cousin Candy gifted me this session for Christmas. I am so grateful for this experience. Candy, I love you. <3 




I was nervous and excited at the same time. I was nervous mainly because the thought of being in a pod of water in complete darkness with no sound for an hour was a bit frightening. Let me tell you, it's nothing like that at all. 

The staff was super friendly and helpful. I was taken down to the "Metta" tank. This was bigger than the pods I had seen photos of.


Once inside, they will explain the process to you. Basically, you take a pre-float shower, wash off your makeup and bandage any open wounds. The rooms are very private and have locks on them so you feel really comfortable. You can float in your bathing suit or naked. I decided on going naked. Whichever you prefer is fine.


After showering and putting my ear plugs in, it was time to float !! Once in the tank, you close the door behind you and you have the option to shut the lights completely, leave them on one color, or let it rotate through Red, Pink, White, Blue, Amber, and Orange. I decided to try it completely dark for about 20 minutes.



While in complete darkness, I just floated, letting go of everything and anything that passed through my mind. I really wanted to stay in the moment. I was easier than I thought it would be for me. It felt like what floating through space would feel like.... only with air. Lol. It was very freeing, and during my next float I will try to go longer in complete darkness. I feel like it was good for my body, mind & soul. Just letting go.... of everything.... I was at peace. 

Once your time is up, you take a post float shower to remove all the salt. A nice hot shower was a perfect ending to the hour long float, which is set at body temperature. Change and then you have a full bathroom across the hall that even has a hair dryer in it. Very convenient.


These two pictures on the wall are a great representation of what I'd just experienced



After changing and what-not, your invited to go hang out and chill in the lounge. I drank hot Peppermint Tea and flipped through the pages of some inspirational books. They also have a therapy light for Seasonal Affective Disorder.




Inspirational book I picked up to read while sipping tea.


After relaxing a bit I was ready to browse the store.







I had an amazing experience and I will definitely be back for the monthly membership once I get back to work. I found the experience relaxing, calming, therapeutic & inspiring.

Recommendation to new floaters: don't rub your eyes !! :)
