New Moon in Taurus May 16, 2026

As a young girl, I learned to abandon myself and to create what I thought was safety externally and around me as a sense of stability by fixing, healing, and controlling. over giving, and carrying everything for everyone else.

I thought if I could keep the peace and hold it all together, love harder, give, and do more and even anticipate other people's needs then maybe I can finally relax and feel peace and safety.

As we get closer to this new moon in Taurus energy I have realized that safety and stability does not exist outside of me it is something that I have been building all along within myself and in this moment & with understanding, it changes everything.

I have finally realized that I have created stability within myself through all these years and that I now have the safety.

I'm no longer willing to abandon myself to feel love or to be in relationship with others. I no longer over function to feel chosen or seen, and no longer betray my own needs just to keep a connection.

 I have learned how to truly ground myself, trust myself and choose myself.

I’m not sharing this because I have life perfectly figured out.

Real safety is not created by controlling everything around you. It is created in those moments where you chose to not abandon yourself anymore.

Learning how to listen to your body.

Learning when your operating from fear instead of alignment.

Learning to stop betraying your needs to maintain connection. Learning that rest is safe. Boundaries are safe. Slowing down is safe. Receiving is safe.

Being myself is safe.

I’m sharing it because I know what it feels like to survive by over-giving, over-fixing, and over-carrying.

This space is where I document what I’m learning as I return home to myself.

So if you’re learning too… come sit with me.

We’ll understand ourselves together.
