“Being left out hurts where you once had a place, but new places create new experiences, where inspiration is inviting you.”

There is a unique ache in being gently, or suddenly, uninvited.
Not because you crave the event,
but because you remember when you were part of the rhythm,
part of the laughter,
part of the room.

Sometimes the shift happens quietly,
a new voice in the family,
a new alliance,
a new dynamic that rearranges where everyone fits.
You may not be rejected maliciously,
just reshuffled without warning.

The door may have closed,
but your worth did not.
Some circles break
so new paths can open.

Gentle Practice:
Place your hand on your chest and say:
“I still belong, to myself, to my life, to my path, inspiration is inviting me to show up.”
