I have been thinking lately about all the good things that can still happen in my life and somehow that thought brings me comfort, it makes me feel a little lighter and less anxious.
Until you address me directly, you do not have an issue with me. You have an issue with yourself. I don’t respond to whispers, assumptions, side comments, or conversations held in rooms I’m not standing in. If it was serious enough to speak around me, it should be mature enough to bring to me. Until then, that is not conflict; that is avoidance wearing confidence.
Sure, I’m a reader, but that doesn’t mean I actually read all the time. Sometimes I go months without touching a book, and other times I will finish a book in one sitting.
Once people become attached to an idea of who they think you are, they no longer experience you directly. They experience their projection of you, and in doing so, limit both their capacity to learn and their ability to truly know the soul standing before them..
Underrated mental health hack: Have something to look forward to. It doesn't have to be big. A dinner plan. A weekend walk. A show tonight. Your nervous system needs reminders that life isn't just responsibilities and survival.
I just remembered how excited I was to stop using pencils and start writing with a pen in Primary 3. Funny how the smallest things felt like major milestones back then.
If only I knew 😭
I need to be around more people that are so far removed from societal expectations. People who don’t care how others perceive them as long as they are staying true to themselves
The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?
The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things.
Let's be serious please.
So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???
HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
