Just a drop of something sweet cannot change a taste that is powerfully bitter. We must persist in the face of failure.

For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough. We insist each day wrap it’s knuckles through our heart strings and pull. The lows. The joy. The poetry. We dance at the edge of a cliff, you have fallen off. So it goes. You will climb up again. You rare girl, once again, you have a body that belongs to no lover, to no father, belongs to no one but you. Wear your sorrow like the lines on your palm. Like a shawl to keep you warm at night. Don’t mourn the love that is lost to you now. It is a book of poems whose meters worked their way into your pulse. Even if it has slipped from your hands, it will stay in your body. You loved a man who treated you like absinthe, half poison and half god. He tried to sweeten you, to water you down. So you left. And now you have your heart all to yourself again. A heart like a stone cottage. Heart like a lover’s diary. Hope like an ocean.

“Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it. Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you; and if you are not willing to change, then don’t expect your life to. The first place we lose the battle is in our own thinking. If you think it’s permanent then it’s permanent. If you think you’ve reached your limits then you have. You have to change your thinking…You have the power to change your life at any given moment. Never forget that.” Socrates said that, “the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Be kind and gentle with yourselves, my friends. With adversity, comes opportunity. Forgive yourself quickly so as to not waste DIVINE opportunity. Do not continue to slap the Universe-Yourself in the face. Slow down Take a deeep breath… …even if it’s just for a few minutes, try to LISTEN and be humbled – Every single one you is worthy of ALL you hold dear in the depths of your heart! Do NOT deny yourself of your Divine Truth, your Divine LOVE! I think it’s crucial (especially now) that we all refrain from seeking external validation for the present that is our existence. Whether you seek to satiate this hunger/loneliness/anxiety/boredom/etc– btw, when you feel this way, the ONLY thing you absolutely NEED and the only person that NEEDS to care for or love you, IS YOU– and silencing your own needs by using other people is pretty rude, completely nonsensical, and seriously fucking unhealthy for everyone involved. Each of us is here, infinitely learning to understand and ask for what we need, in order to decide how we move forward in creating who we ARE. This perceived fragmented journey through "Time” and “Space” has led you to exactly where you are right NOW. How perfectly imperfect is that?! Because when you look at who you were three years ago, and then ten years ago, you might laugh and you’ll most likely cringe; but this reflection on your journey will always contain a powerful and peaceful nostalgia- one that you can actually have right now, in the present, with plenty of patience, self-discipline, practice, and love. I think that when we reflect back on our lives- regardless of what personal hells we have trekked across, seemed to barely climb out of, and not only survived through, but THRIVED through- those earlier pains have long since dulled, your heart has healed itself many times over; and yes, maybe we can remember the significant Darknesses that have also forged and molded our Strength time and time again, but I believe that we primarily reminisce, FEEL, resonate with, and re-experience the Light. And like very young children, we easily and happily re-welcome and relive those moments in which the Love outside of us allowed us to reconnect to the Love eternally within us. When we look back, maybe we look back to once again know the Love that we have presently and temporarily forgotten. We go back to being naive to remember. And we will do it again, many times over. But you can have that Love now because you are entitled to it! YOUR BIRTH, YOUR LIFE, THE FACT THAT THE UNIVERSE THOUGHT YOU SPECIFICALLY NEEDED TO EXIST– THIS is the ONLY validation you will EVER need. Speak openly and honestly, with appropriate consideration. People will ALWAYS feel what they are going to feel and it is not your responsibility or obligation to convolute that process by choosing them as you neglect yourself and your own highest TRUTH. You are NOT responsible for or even capable of genuinely/deeply/permanently changing other’s emotions, experiences, decisions, or lives. Look back on your entire life thus far; try to recall each moment, whether you perceived it to be inconsequential or significant, agonizing or ethereal, full of darkness or full of light–now try and remember each passing thought in your mind, each passing feeling that resonated within these moments… and you will discover that you most likely cannot. Reflect upon the infinite nature of Yourself; it is inexplicably complex because you, yourself are a Universe. And so is every One else. So if you desire to truly and deeply Love the people and the world around you, look Inward. You are the One you are seeking. If everyone were to commit to the lifelong (most likely eternal lol) alignment with their Highest Truths, we could know a deep love and true peace on this plane of existence. Infinite Love, Respect, and Gratitude for You. Thank you for listening!

For others, I want to be the person I wish I had in my own life… because I know all too well of what it’s like to not be acknowledged, cared for, and lonely.

Fear

I find myself scared.  as in wanting to go back to M.  But I know doing that would only set me back and prove that I am unable to do anything alone.  I dont wanna feel that way.  I’m just so impatient!  But i know good things take time.  I know i need to continue to work hard.  Maybe talk to the hotel or something anything to get money.  I’m so tired of not having a car!  I feel its my greatest setback. I just feel like i’m runnin in circles!  I cant get a good job in this town because i have poor credit. But i cant fix my credit unless I pay somethings off. I cant get a car unless I have a job. The more places I apply at the better chances I have at getting a job..  It’s so frustrating! Because if i had only stayed in school or even started working in hs i wouldnt be as far back as i am. -_-

Tips to self appreciation and self love

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

1. Begin your day with love (not technology). Remind yourself of your worthiness before getting out of bed. Breathe and do it consciously. It is a very good exercise for practising staying present.

2. Take time to meditate and journal. Spend time focusing inward daily. Begin with five minutes of journaling. Very tough indeed (I do enjoy my sleep but I will endeavour to start doing this)

3. Talk yourself happy. Use affirmations to train your mind to become more positive. If you can catch yourself thinking negatively about yourself; you are already almost there. Remember you are worthy of love.

4. Get emotionally honest. Let of go of numbing your feelings. Shopping, eating, and drinking are examples of avoiding discomfort, sadness, and pain. Mindfully breathe your way through your feelings and emotions. Staying with uncomfortable emotions and feeling them fully has been a revelation to me. Afterwards I tend to feel a real sense of accomplishment and peace. Being honest with yourself is part of self love.

5. Expand your interests. Try something new. Learn a language. Go places you’ve never been. Do things you haven’t done before. You have a right to an awesome life.

6. Enjoy life enhancing activities. Find exercise you like. Discover healthy foods that are good for you. Turn off technology for a day and spend time doing things that make you feel alive.

7. Become willing to surrender. Breathe, relax, and let go. You can never see the whole picture. You don’t know what anything is for. Stop fighting against yourself by thinking and desiring people and events in your life should be different. Your plan may be different from your soul’s intentions. Surrendering and accepting what is actually allows you to stay in control and gives you a sense of calm.

8. Work on personal and spiritual development. Be willing to surrender and grow. Life is a journey. We are here to learn and life will give you exactly the experiences needed for your growth. One step at a time is enough to proceed forward.

9. Own your potential. Love yourself enough to believe in the limitless opportunities available to you. Take action and create a beautiful life for yourself.

10. Be patient with yourself. Let go of urgency and fear. Relax and transform striving into thriving. Trust in yourself, do good work and you will be rewarded.

11. Live in appreciation. Train your mind to be grateful. Appreciate your talents, beauty, and brilliance. Love your imperfectly perfect self. Practising gratitude in all aspects of your life brings about abundance. Be grateful even when it is hard.

12. Be guided by your intuition. All answers come from within. Look for signs and pay attention to your gut feelings. You’ll hear two inner voices when you need to make a decision. The quiet voice is your higher self; the loud voice is your ego. Always go with the quieter voice.

13. Do what honors and respects you. Don’t participate in activities that bring you down. Don’t allow toxic people in your life. Love everyone, but be discerning on who you allow into your life.

14. Accept uncertainty. Suffering comes from living in the pain of the past or the fear of the future. Put your attention on the present moment and be at peace.

15. Forgive yourself. Learn from your mistakes and go forward. Use this affirmation, “I forgive myself for judging myself for __________ (fill in the blank i.e.: for getting sick, for acting out, for not doing your best.)

16. Discover the power of fun. Self-love requires time to relax, play, and create face-to-face interaction with others. Our fast-paced world creates a goal setting, competitive craziness that doesn’t leave room for play. Dr. Stuart Brow says, “The opposite of play isn’t work, it is depression.”

17. Be real. Speak up and speak out. Allow yourself to be seen, known, and heard. Get comfortable with intimacy (in-to-me-see).

18. Focus on the positive. Go to your heart and dwell on and praise yourself for what you get right in all areas.

19. Become aware of self neglect and rejection. Become conscious of your choices. Ask yourself several times throughout the day, “Does this choice honor me?”

20. Imagine what your life would look like if you believed in your worth. Dedicate your life to loving you. Make it your main event.

21. Seek professional help. Self-rejection and neglect is painful. You deserve to be happy. You have a right to be accepted and loved. If necessary, seek help from a support group, counselor, or coach. It’s the best investment you can make.

Let-your-inner-light-shine! You are worthy!
