Oh, I felt this one! I got chills just now reading about your chills during that scene. 😆 I haven’t seen Dune, but now my interest has been piqued! Five years ago, I had a “show me who you are” moment that lasted years when my entire world blew up in every possible way. It felt like being skinned alive. There were times I doubted my ability to survive it. But I did and now see it as the best thing that ever happened to me.

I don’t know how it all works, but I love that we all seem to be given those moments, opportunities, to really discover what we’re made of. Thank you for sharing your stories of resilience. ✨

"It is a make-it-or-break scenario. Raw, captivating and deeply intimate. Not because of some seductive company you enjoy. But purely based on a deeper connection with yourself. A more pristine look into the very essence of one’s being. That is exactly when you feel the most alive."

You said this so perfectly, I knew exactly what those moments are for me. It's when I take a risk, knowing people close to me - or a greater mass - won't agree with me. It's when you put yourself out there and succeed - not by the world's standards, but by your own. When you surprise yourself with a risk you never thought you'd take.
