The Division
I’ve been sitting on this kind of share for years, moving through my own process of unlearning, healing and coming to terms with the fact that what I always thought our country was, actually was not.
Turns out, this country isn’t so…
Kind. Understanding. And advocating for alll the social things.
Only when it follows the social narrative, otherwise … you are done for and must be somebody who “obviously doesn’t care”.
These thoughts are arriving during a political storm that is currently raving the country. Seeing shares that suggest we no longer follow each other if we have a differing opinion, making it personal when the government has never considered you, personally.
The anger makes me sad and hits me deep; this same government that is being advocated for so big, claiming “we must not care about human rights” …when this same government took away my human rights only a few short years ago. This government made my family fear me, got me kicked out school and altered many relationships.
If only we understood as a whole that each party has their own agenda; some go far to the left, others go far to the right …both, equally harmful.
Both, of the same bird; a society that promotes disconnection from self, reliance and a distrust in many things. My god, the anger that happens here.
&I say this with the most grace, compassion and love - I was so fucking angry when I began unravelling and realizing that I had been lied to my entire life - I am big into history and everything I had known my entire life was based on a lie.
The catalyst to my own healing journey.
Learning to do things a different way.
I was so angry when I got kicked out of school, online, a whole province away - because I chose to trust my gut, a knowing that I didn’t need what they were throwing out there.
I was so angry and fighting for all the causes, speaking up again and using my voice so fucking loudly.
Your anger is real. Your values are real and the parties have a real way of dividing us up through the same, but different fights. All defying our human rights in one way or another.
So with that in mind, I invite you, before you spew on the internet, before you put out more hate driven messages, ask yourself… how much do you actually know about the fight or situation at hand?
Where did you get your resources? Social Media? News sources that are often paid by the party? Or did you take a deep interest and dive deep yourself (recommened)?
I created an ebook way back when to help you start getting curious…

I believe that we are all intended to evolve and grow, in whichever direction we see fit. This [ebook] is here to spark some curiosity and guide you into believing in yourself on a deeper level; created from my learning, experience and my heart.
If there is anything I have learned through the course of this anger, unravelling and healing, it is the fact that individually we cannot make the change we seek and there are different ways of doing so…
For those that are maybe still unaware, not putting your opinion or vote forth because “what would it matter anyway”; you do matter. Your opinion is important, and it can make a difference.
From the top and those creating/ making policies, I hope you listen to your public; deeply listen and begin advocating for a whole perspective, for healing as opposed to the band-aid fixes.
If your’re the fighter, the big advocate, keep going .. the world needs your voice. Maybe though start bringing in a little more compassion and softness to your fights - meeting anger with anger never gets us very far.
The biggest advocacy, in my humble opinioin, is that of being the change within the system.
Advocating and modelling something different.
The deep self care so that we can serve from overflow.
The connection to body and self and whatever it is you are here to offer in the world - from a deep soul level, beyond societal and familial expectations.
Power with as opposed to power over.
A balance of the masculine and feminine energies.
Flow over force.
Connected.
With love and patience, Caitlin.
