Transcript
What if the part of you hidden the longest Is actually the truest thing you've ever known?
Speaker A:Welcome to Moondrops, a special transmission from loving the F where we follow the rhythm of the sky.
Speaker A:And this time, the rhythm of goodbye.
Speaker A:Tonight I dedicate this moondrop to my mother.
Speaker A:Our relationship wasn't easy.
Speaker A:It carried ache, silence, beauty and contradiction.
Speaker A:But in her own way, she taught me to live life in every color.
Speaker A:She passed away on Palm Sunday.
Speaker A:A day of devotion, grace and sacred entry.
Speaker A:And though she did not always know how to love me the way I needed, I see her now as a woman shaped by her own season, her own teachings.
Speaker A:This is for her and for every daughter who walks the path of healing with grace.
Speaker A:We're told that love is about partnership.
Speaker A:We're told it's about unity, balance, connection.
Speaker A:But what if before you ever loved another, you learned to abandon yourself?
Speaker A:To adjust, to mold, to anticipate the needs of others before even knowing your own?
Speaker A:Then love becomes not a reflection, but a refraction, a bending of your truth to fit someone else's lens.
Speaker A:That isn't partnership.
Speaker A:That's performance.
Speaker A:And in the shrinking, I forgot the most important relationship I would ever have.
Speaker A:Not my husband, not even my children, but the one with myself.
Speaker A:I remember the moment after I left my marriage.
Speaker A:It was like walking out of a fog.
Speaker A:The air began to clear and suddenly I could see myself.
Speaker A:But I didn't recognize the woman I saw.
Speaker A:I looked at all I had endured, what I allowed, what I became.
Speaker A:And I whispered to myself, how did this happen?
Speaker A:It was like waking up from a daze.
Speaker A:Like I had been gone.
Speaker A:As if I had been watching myself through a bell.
Speaker A:And now, finally, I could see again.
Speaker A:And what I saw was a woman who had stayed.
Speaker A:Through storms, through silence, through self erasure.
Speaker A:I had to start again.
Speaker A:Not by becoming someone new, but by remembering who I was before I ever had to edit myself.
Speaker A:This Libra moon is the mirror.
Speaker A:Not the rose colored one, but the honest one.
Speaker A:Not the one that flatters, but the one that shows you where you've gone missing.
Speaker A:It's a moon of relationship, yes, but most of all the relationship you have with yourself.
Speaker A:It asks, do you abandon yourself when others pull away?
Speaker A:Do you crave connection at the cost of clarity?
Speaker A:Do you fall into roles that feel like love but taste like survival?
Speaker A:Do you exist on breadcrumbs, believing it's a feast?
Speaker A:This is not about blame.
Speaker A:This is about reunion.
Speaker A:What if this full moon is not about release, but about turning toward?
Speaker A:What if instead of letting go, you simply turn the mirror back toward yourself and say, I see you now.
Speaker A:I remember you.
Speaker A:You never stop being worth choosing.
Speaker A:This is not a time to earn your way back to yourself.
Speaker A:This is a time to come home.
Speaker A:No conditions, no ritual needed, just willingness.
Speaker A:The lover's card was pulled today, inverted not as punishment, as reflection.
Speaker A:A gentle quiet invitation before you seek love in another be your own reunion.
Speaker A:You are not broken.
Speaker A:You are not late.
Speaker A:You are not too much or not enough.
Speaker A:You are a mirror who has remembered her light.
Speaker A:So let this moon pour her soft pink light upon your face.
Speaker A:Let your feet touch the ground with certainty.
Speaker A:Let your voice be the song you come home to.
Speaker A:To my mother.
Speaker A:Thank you for the colors, the contradictions, and the mirror you unknowingly handed me.
Speaker A:The portal is open, the mirror is turned, and the truth is yours.
Speaker A:Thank you for joining this moondrop from loving the app.
Speaker A:If this stirred something in you, share it.
Speaker A:And don't forget to subscribe because every drop brings another secret the cosmos have been keeping just for.
