I used to feel ashamed for being spiritual
now it connects me with girls
Hey brother,
It’s wild how shame quietly steals our life, right?
That hidden fear that says:
"Don’t show them who you really are."
"Don’t express yourself."
"They’ll laugh, judge, reject you."
I’ve lived with that — especially around being spiritual…
Meditating, tuning into my energy… I used to hide it.
But today it paid off.
I walked out of my apartment, ready for my workout, and I remembered this new meditation from my mentor.
It’s a mudra — holding your hands in a specific way, eyes closed.
Honestly? My first thought was:
"If I sit outside, hands up, eyes closed… they’ll think I’m crazy."
In the past, that thought would’ve stopped me.
But practicing authenticity — expressing myself, even when it’s uncomfortable — changed that.
So I did it.
I sat next to two guys, asked if they were cool with me meditating there, closed my eyes, and went for it.
At first… intense. The mind screaming: “What are you doing?”
But after… relief. Peace. Focus.
15 minutes later, I thank the guys and head to the outdoor gym, feeling grounded… free.
That’s when I see her.
You know that feeling.
The spark. The excitement. That raw “I want to connect” energy.
And because I was already in flow — already being myself — I listened to it.
My body literally said, “Say something.”
She turned. I smiled. We chatted.
Two kisses on the cheek. Connection made. Contacts exchanged.
Look… it might sound like a movie.
But this?
It happens more and more — when you trust yourself.
When you stop waiting to be “ready”… and just act.
Express your spirituality.
Meditate in public.
See a girl? Share your desire.
Because one day… we turn to dust.
And on that day, the limits we lived by… or the life we chose — will be all that matters.
I know which I’m choosing.
What about you?
All the best,
Edin
