The gels of life act as both a cleanser for the past and a foundation for the future. In the quiet, restorative air of France, I discovered the power of these emotional rituals. This concept is more than just a metaphor for healing. It is a profound internal architecture for a spirit that seeks to wash away old wounds while firming up new boundaries. Understanding the gels of life helps me process the transitions of my journey with clarity and grace. As a highly sensitive person, I use these symbolic textures to soothe the fractures of the soul. It turns old tectonic scars into a stable, Malachite peace. Within these transformative intervals, the spirit finally finds its authentic rhythm. We move from the friction of pain to the smoothness of inner strength. I choose the quiet elegance of this ritualistic growth. This path is a mineral-rich space for our authentic lives. By purifying our path, we reclaim our radiant, enduring strength.

Gelovi mog života
od pranja do učvršćivanja,
od vidljivih rituala do skrivenih trenutaka zaštite.
Ovo je priča o oslobađanju, snazi i prisutnosti.
prema jučer,
prema davno jučer
i još dalje —
prema onom gotovo zaboravljenom jučer.
i otvorila prozor
da uđe miris kiše.
Prije mjesec dana odbacila sam pušenje
koje sam nosila četrdeset godina.
nanijela sam gel za učvršćivanje —
da stabiliziram izbor
i snagu koja je došla s njim.
uzela sam ključeve svog stana
i učvrstila njezine riječi: „Čuvaj stan.“
I tada sam posegnula za gelom učvršćivanja —
da sačuvam ravnotežu
koju je ta odluka tražila.
oprala sam svoje tijelo od prevare, izdaja
i odlazaka drugih iz mog života.
Tada sam upotrijebila i hidroalkoholni gel
da neutraliziram zaostalu „bakteriju“ prošlosti —
rane koje su drugi napravili.
Trebalo je vrijeme. I nada.
pred put u život bez roditelja, bez ikoga —
u svijet gdje sam bila sama sa sobom.
Tada sam ponovno nanijela gel za učvršćivanje —
pripremila se za stabilnost
koja mi je trebala u životu samostalnosti.
da ostanem čista,
stabilna
i svoja.
Les gels de ma vie
du lavage à la fixation,
des rituels visibles aux moments cachés de protection.
C’est une histoire de libération, de force et de présence.
vers hier,
vers un lointain hier
et encore plus loin —
vers cet hier presque oublié.
et ouvert la fenêtre
pour laisser entrer l’odeur de la pluie.
Il y a un mois, j’ai rejeté la cigarette
que j’ai portée quarante ans.
j’ai appliqué un gel fixant —
pour stabiliser le choix
et la force qui est venue avec.
j’ai pris les clés de mon appartement
et fixé ses mots : « Garde l’appartement. »
Et là aussi, j’ai attrapé le gel fixant —
pour garder l’équilibre
que cette décision exigeait.
j’ai lavé mon corps de la tromperie, des trahisons
et des départs des autres de ma vie.
Alors j’ai utilisé aussi du gel hydroalcoolique
pour neutraliser la « bactérie » résiduelle du passé —
les blessures que les autres ont faites.
Il a fallu du temps. Et de l’espoir.
avant de partir vers une vie sans parents, sans personne —
dans un monde où j’étais seule avec moi-même.
Alors j’ai appliqué à nouveau le gel fixant —
je me suis préparée pour la stabilité
dont j’avais besoin dans une vie d’indépendance.
pour rester propre,
stable
et moi-même.
The Gels of My Life
from washing to fixing,
from visible rituals to hidden moments of protection.
This is a story of liberation, strength, and presence.
to yesterday,
to long ago yesterday
and even further —
to that almost forgotten yesterday.
and opened the window
to let the smell of rain in.
A month ago, I discarded smoking
which I carried for forty years.
I applied a fixing gel —
to stabilize the choice
and the strength that came with it.
I took the keys to my apartment
and fixed her words: “Keep the apartment.”
And then I reached for the fixing gel —
to keep the balance
that decision required.
I washed my body from deceit, betrayals,
and others leaving my life.
Then I also used hydroalcoholic gel
to neutralize the residual “bacteria” of the past —
wounds others made.
It took time. And hope.
before leaving for a life without parents, without anyone —
into a world where I was alone with myself.
Then I applied the fixing gel again —
prepared myself for the stability
I needed in a life of independence.
to remain clean,
stable,
and myself.
