My recent Florida trip made me think about how I manifest experiences through my creative art flow and relationships with people. You see the image from my multiverse book of creative ideas. These ideas rarely make it to the canvases because I often feel fulfilled after expressing them on paper. The drawings or paintings start with a creative impulse, without the final image developed. A closer look at this image will show three people in the middle; if you pay a little more attention, you will notice a bull behind, and the colors represent creativity, spirituality, and self-awareness for me. 

I often draw females, but in this case, it’s two males and a female. This painting called for more details throughout this year, and I had many five-minute dates with it. I fully understood what I was drawing only in Florida with my in-love gay couple, who got married half a year ago. I often call them my favorite love story because they are close to me in age, lived on two different continents, and neither age, Covid, nor the political climate consequences because of the war in Ukraine stopped them from reuniting.   

Being with people who get you is a retreat all in itself, and it also made me think about how much time I spend trying to win people over. I see inspirational talks suggesting avoiding people who don’t help us. With my personality design, I needed to figure out when and how to decide how much time I spend with varying groups of people. Have you thought about it? 

My recent Florida trip felt like a retreat because I could talk about enlightenment, multiverse, shifts to a better reality, completion, love, and art while feeling safe without editing my thoughts. Can you imagine all these topics in one six-day conversation? Isn’t it a luxury in a society full of opinions and “rights and wrongs?”

My constant consciousness upgrade brings around a new set of people feeling and living life on a similar vibration. Like a new movie has started for me. I don’t feel I need to “move away” from anyone, they are not a threat to my peace, but I do need to allocate time according to the meaning of my connection with a person. If I spend too much time explaining or defending my philosophy and ideas, it might be a sign that these people need my support more than I need to brainstorm my future with them. I must evaluate if they asked for intellectual help or just an emotional hug or support through my resources. I noticed that I have two categories of people, the same wave where I love to do projects together and enjoy the conversations and a group of people I love, but I am more of a support resource for them. And yes, we all shift between two at times but briefly.

Through my enlightenment search, I learned that if we have between 11 to 21 people with whom we are complete, our life is full of bliss. Being complete doesn’t mean they think or feel like us. It means they are what they are, and we are complete with them. They do things the way they think is right based on their knowledge and experience, and even if it is clear to me that they chose a very long way to the declared destination, I need to bless them; nothing else is required.  

The hardest for me was letting go of the “let me show you the way” with my children. By far the hardest. And one day, I realized that it means that I don’t believe that they are smart enough to figure out if I keep teaching them way past their “learning from parents” years.   Feeling that they are smart and they can figure out turned out to be the best parenting decision of mine. During my trip with these friends, I was in such a great space because I had a space to be what I am, confused in some areas, complete in others. 

What do you think? How long is your list of people? I know several art techniques to reach completion in relationships.
