This one is about my own heroine’s journey.
The most sacred task of this life is to write your own myth, not conform to someone else’s fairytale.
We are all born into inherited narratives of our family, culture, trauma, and past experiences. If I wanted to, I could live my life according to those default stories. I could cling to the pain and let that become my identity.
I could introduce myself on a date like this:
Hi! I’m Tara- a failed musician. A social outcast. A loner with dietary restrictions. A woman who worked at a sex shop in her mid 40s and lived under the poverty line. Someone who never married, never had children. A woman who got a master’s in library science only to face rejection at all the libraries. A magnet for addicts and alcoholics. The perpetual ‘peasant girl/ fool’ who never gets to be the wife or the princess.
I could let that story calcify into my personality. I could let it become the whole of me. And a man sitting across from me would feel that. He would sense the resignation, the bitterness…the quiet apology for simply existing.
Or…I could tell a different story.
The same facts- but a different myth:
I am a music lover who once had the wild adventure of performing on stages.
A warrioress who learned to not fear solitude but used it to forge a path into entrepreneurship.
I am an explorer of tantra and other healing modalities.
I was always provided for..not by systems, but by Spirit. Always protected. Always guided.
I am a sovereign mage who hasn’t married (yet) because I am devoted to understanding divine union first.
I chose not to have children- not because I was denied the chance, but because I spent 20 years as a nanny nurturing other people’s children.
I get to apply my librarian training to my mystical work. I study the Gene Keys, Tarot, and other sacred systems. I support clients in categorizing their chaos and transforming their shadows.
Being around addicts and alcoholics taught me to meet non-love with love, to hold compassion without sacrificing my boundaries.
The princess and wife live in me and are blooming in their own divine time :)
This isn’t about bypassing the hard parts, it’s about making meaning. It’s about choosing to be the heroine, again and again, and telling the story in a way that honors the soul’s adventure.
I invite you to do the same.
xo,
Tara

I relate to this so much Tara! I'm often telling a sad and pathetic story of myself and my history. And yet... there's always a way to view it different, a way that values our journey.
