Why Am I Here?
Reclaiming Voice, Soul, and Stardust
I’ve asked myself this question many times—Why am I here?
Not just in the grand cosmic sense, but also in the intimate, trembling moment of finally deciding to share my voice publicly. This is my first post, and it comes from a place that has been brewing for years—perhaps lifetimes.
For so long, my thoughts, insights, and revelations have lived in the pages of journals. Pages no one else has read. Writing has been a refuge, a ritual, a therapy. But there has always been a quiet longing in me—for my words to be heard.
You see, I grew up in a home where there was no room for a voice. I was the silent one. The quiet girl. The one who watched and listened, storing worlds within but never speaking them aloud. I learned creative ways to keep my inner flame alive, even when the outer world offered it no air to breath, nowhere for it to burn.
That silence didn’t end at the front door of my home. I became an easy target—bullied, taken advantage of, pushed around—because I wouldn’t fight back, because I didn’t know how to speak up for myself. Of course, now I can see it so clearly: when you never speak, you become the perfect target. The girl who won’t resist. Who won’t risk being seen. Who won’t dare to take up space.
I am not that girl anymore.
Reclaiming My Voice
As I continue to emerge more fully into the woman I really am—one who is reclaiming her voice, her presence, her power—I no longer want to walk around believing I will be punished for speaking. I no longer want to carry the fear that visibility will equal harm. This is me taking the risk. This is me saying: even in the face of past pain, I choose to speak anyway.
This post is a form of self-advocacy and a celebration. It’s a strengthening of a part of me I’ve already worked so hard to heal—over and over again. While I hope my words are received with openness, I don’t need praise. I simply hope they’re accepted. And if they’re not, I trust in my growing strength to keep speaking anyway.
Why now?
Because I’ve been encouraged and inspired by healers, teachers, mentors—brave, beautiful souls who dare to be seen. It’s in their courage that I found something stirring in me. A quiet yes. A willingness to try.
What I plan to share here might feel mystical sometimes, maybe even “out there” but, mostly I believe— relatable. I’ve come to believe that what feels strange at first glance might actually be the very thing someone else has been waiting to read, to hear. Maybe my words will help you feel seen, understood, or comforted—especially if, like me, you’re only just beginning to find your voice.
And if your voice is already loud and strong, maybe my emergence will serve as a gentle echo, amplifying your courage too.
Soul-Centred and Star-Rooted
This space will be a reflection of me: eclectic, nonlinear, soulful. I’ll be sharing insights from my experiences—often deeply inspired by my relationship and practice with astrology, tarot, energy work, and other musings. Even if I don’t address them directly (though they will certainly arise), they support just about everything I do nowadays. Most importantly, everything I share will come from the same place. The same source. The same well of wisdom I keep returning to, again and again. Because over time, what I’ve come to realize is: everything is interconnected. My work, my words, my offerings… they all grow from that truth.
The Birth of Soul Stellar
That’s also what led me to birth Soul Stellar.
You’ll learn more about Soul Stellar as I share and unravel here. It’s a newborn concept in the world, though it has ancient and deep roots. It’s a seed that has lived in me for a long time and only broke through the surface a year ago. It’s more than a name—it’s a way of seeing the world. A remembering. A soft invocation that reminds us: we are all skin wrapped in stardust. Whether you believe in that kind of thing or not, the truth is, I believe—naively or not—that we come from the same place. And I truly, wholeheartedly believe that at our core, every soul is stellar. We may be here living messy, egoic, human lives, but the essence of who we are… is brilliant. It’s beautiful. And it’s worth reconnecting to.
That’s a glimpse of the invitation of Soul Stellar. And that’s what I hope this space becomes for all of us: a place to remember our own light. To soften some of the hard edges of being human. Especially if you’re a sensitive soul. And I say that proudly—because I am an extra, extra, super, super sensitive soul. Maybe this won’t be for everyone. But if you’re like me—if you feel deeply and see widely and ache often—then maybe there’s something here for you.
From Silence into Sound
So if you’re here—thank you. My intention is to offer something of value: solace, resonance, encouragement. A mirror, maybe. Or a spark. I hope my words meet you like a friend across time and space. From my soul to yours. From silence into sound.
I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome, and Hello!
Love & Light,
Natasha Xx
Your soul is stellar.
Ignite your soul. Illuminate the path. Let’s remember together.
