This is a really pretty crystal. ❤️

I felt fear and shock. Fear of the unknown and not being able to control my reality. Fear of not being safe enough. I don’t say this with a victim mentality but they (people from other worlds) did what they did to me, and with time I learned to forgive my younger self for not knowing what to do or say in those moments. I do believe that not ET's realize their actual impact, and some simply don't have the capacity for empathy, but not all my encounters were bad and I couldn’t ignore those either. Some ET’s showed me love beyond anything I’ve ever felt. How I overcame my fear is still a journey I am actively working on. It’s layered and multidimensional, but I can say I hold a lot of self contemplation. I listen to what my inner voice or what my gut is saying and I stand firm and root into who I know deep down I am. When Im sitting within me like that... I feel unshakable. ❤️

@Monica VerSteeg You're very kind, Monica. Thank you.❤️ I realized I posted my intro in the wrong thread. I'll make a new one. haha. To answer your question, yes, I suddenly woke up to its silhouette standing on the side of the bed. My bed was up against the wall and I was closer to the wall than on the edge. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at. I remember being confused and dazed. I remember comparing its head size to the lamp shade (the size of it) and the also comparing its height to other objects in the room. When I really looked at it, I noticed its arm was reached out towards me. I remember how boney its elbow was as my eyes looked down its arm. It was perfectly still like trying not to move and waiting to see how I would react to its presence. When I realized what I was looking at I was about to scream but then I blacked out. The only thing I remember after that was being dropped on my bed facedown from above. That morning I was kinda in shock I remember what I saw in my room. I didn't tell my mom or anyone. I didn't know what to think. I had to process it. Thats when I realized from that moment all the dreams I had as a child of people with large eyes and other strange events of being in space was real.

@Jen Collman Hey Jen! Nice to meet you! I live northeast San Antonio! The hikes in Austin are nice. My husband, son, and I love going to Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg. I love crystals and nature so that's my go to place. Sitting at the top of Enchanted Rock always has me buzzing and feeling really nice. What part of Austin do you live in?
