When we get curious about our own behavior, when we ask ‘what made me do that’ rather than shaming ourselves or beating ourselves up—we heal. Defensive behaviors were created when we were helpless children just trying to survive what we didn’t understand.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"
It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...
closed mouths don't get fed.
instead of silently hoping that you will receive what you desire, speak up for yourself. be loud. be bold. be real. carry yourself like somebody who is ready to receive every blessing that you’ve been praying for.
As you are shifting you will begin to realize that the journey to love isn't about finding "the one" but becoming the one. When you recognize that you are your own soulmate, you feel at home and peaceful within yourself. Sit alone. Befriend your soul. Feel it into existence.
