RESTORE- When Emptiness Speaks.
Restore has been sitting heavily on my mind lately. Maybe because of the work I do. Maybe because of the people I sit with. Maybe because of the quiet truth I keep seeing in their eyes.
I work with all kinds of people — in their good moments, their breaking points, and the places in between. And lately, I’ve noticed something rising to the surface more than anything else: emptiness.
People tell me they feel:
bitter
lost
confused
numb
disconnected from joy
And when they use that word empty, I don’t hear weakness. I hear exhaustion.
I picture them pouring energy into relationships, responsibilities, crises, expectations, and endless attempts to “fix” what’s breaking around them. But what they get back… is nothing. No replenishment. No return. Just more depletion.
So where is the hope in all this?
The hope is in the truth we don’t always say out loud: Emptiness is not a failure — it’s a signal.
It’s the body saying, “I can’t keep giving without being restored.”
It’s the spirit whispering, “I need a place to breathe again.”
It’s the soul asking, “When was the last time something poured back into me?”
And that’s why I’m talking about this. Because almost all of us have been here — or will be. We’ve lived through heartbreak, grief, loss, disappointment, overwhelm, and the kind of interactions that drain us more than we admit.
It’s also the reason Lost In My VIBE! exists.
I created this space so people could find new ways to reconnect with themselves — through music, reflection, storytelling, and community. A place where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine. A place where you can breathe, reset, and remember who you are beneath the noise.
Because we all need support, we all need inspiration. We all need encouragement. And we all need restoration at some point in our journey.
Restore isn’t about going back to who you were. It’s about returning to the parts of you that were never meant to be lost.
What part of you has been pouring out more than it’s been receiving — and what would restoration look like for that part of you?
Thank you for stepping into this moment. Whether you reflected, breathed, or paused, I’m glad you were here. Carry whatever you released… released. Carry whatever you reclaimed… with confidence. And remember — your journey deserves restoration. Until next time, keep honoring your vibe.
