Growing up, I always thought that once I reached a certain age, I’d be on my own—no more parents telling me what to do, no more guidance, just me figuring out life on my own. But boy, was I wrong! Over the past year, I’ve come to realize that we never really stop having parents because the universe is always there, guiding us like a loving mom and dad. It’s like having invisible parents who always have your back, even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
Let me take you on a little journey of how I came to see the universe as my “momma and pappa,” always teaching me, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. I hope my story resonates with you and helps you see that the universe is always looking out for you, too.
How I Discovered My “Momma and Pappa Universe”
It all started during one of the most challenging times of my life. I had just lost my job, my long-term relationship had ended, and I felt completely adrift. It seemed like everything that could go wrong was happening all at once. I was frustrated and confused, wondering why these things were happening to me. Was I being punished? Was I doing something wrong?
Have you ever felt that way? Like the universe is just throwing curveballs at you, one after the other, and you’re left wondering, “Why me?”
One day, as I was wallowing in self-pity, I decided to take a walk to clear my head. I ended up at a park near my house and found myself sitting on a bench, watching the world go by. That’s when I saw a little girl playing with a set of colorful blocks. She would stack them up carefully, but just as quickly as she built them, they would tumble down. And every time they fell, she’d just giggle and start over again.
It was in that simple moment that something clicked for me. What if every time things fall apart in my life, it’s just like those blocks tumbling down—a way for the universe to guide me towards something better?
Learning That Blocks Are Redirections
From that day on, I began to look at my life differently. I realized that every setback and every obstacle was actually a form of redirection. The universe wasn’t punishing me; it was guiding me. Losing my job wasn’t a failure; it was a push towards finding work that aligned more with who I am and what I truly want to do. The end of my relationship wasn’t a loss; it was an opportunity to focus on myself, to grow, and to learn to love myself again.
I started to understand that when the universe throws a block in your path, it’s often because you’re not meant to go that way. It’s the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, Fran, this isn’t the right path for you. Let’s try something else.”
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever faced a block that, in hindsight, was really just a redirection to something better?
Rejection Is Protection: How I Learned to Trust the Universe
As I continued on this journey of self-discovery, I kept facing more and more rejections. I’d apply for jobs, go on dates, try to make new friends, but time after time, it felt like I was hitting a brick wall. At first, it was incredibly discouraging. But then I remembered that little girl and her blocks, and I started to wonder if maybe these rejections were the universe’s way of protecting me.
I began to see that every “no” I received was actually a blessing in disguise—a way for the universe to steer me away from situations, people, or opportunities that weren’t right for me. It was like my “momma and pappa universe” were looking out for me, making sure I didn’t settle for anything less than what I deserved.
Do you have a story of a time when you felt rejected, only to realize later that it was actually the best thing that could have happened to you? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
When the Rug Gets Pulled: A Wake-Up Call from the Universe
One of the hardest lessons I had to learn came when the universe decided to pull the rug out from under me. I was staying in a relationship that was toxic, ignoring all the red flags, and making choices that went against my intuition. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, everything came crashing down. My partner left me, my savings vanished, and I had to move back in with my parents. It was like my whole life was falling apart.
At first, I was devastated. I felt like a failure, like everything I had worked for was gone. But as time went on, I started to see things differently. It was as if my “momma and pappa universe” had seen me heading down a path that wasn’t right and decided to intervene. It was a wake-up call, a tough love lesson to get me back on track.
Have you ever had the rug pulled out from under you? How did it feel at the time, and how do you see it now? Do you think it was the universe giving you a much-needed wake-up call?
Understanding Karmic Lessons and Divine Timing
As I picked up the pieces of my life, I began to delve deeper into the idea of karma and divine timing. I realized that the universe operates on a level of wisdom that we can’t always comprehend. It knows when we’re making choices that are out of alignment with our true selves and steps in to correct our course.
It was a humbling experience to recognize that some of the challenges I faced were a result of my own actions and choices. But it was also empowering to understand that the universe, like a loving parent, wasn’t punishing me but teaching me. It was showing me the consequences of my actions and guiding me towards a better path.
Do you believe in karma? Have you ever felt like you were experiencing a karmic lesson? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
Embracing the Universe as a Loving Parent
Through all of this, I’ve come to see the universe as a loving parent—always there, always watching, and always guiding me. It’s like having a set of invisible parents who know exactly what you need, even when you don’t. They’re there to catch you when you fall, to redirect you when you’re heading down the wrong path, and to protect you from things that aren’t meant for you.
I’ve started to embrace this idea wholeheartedly. Now, whenever something doesn’t go my way, instead of getting frustrated or upset, I try to see it as the universe’s way of guiding me. I remind myself that my “momma and pappa universe” are always looking out for me, always wanting what’s best for me.
