#Embracing Life

[shelovesskiez]

I thought if I neglected things, they wouldn't matter anymore, but the more you neglect and run away from them, the more you care. I've decided not to run anymore. I'm not sure whether it's the best solution or not, but I'd like to experience what it is to live with things that make you want to escape.

lessons from a girly girl volume one:

she makes me want to see the world in a soft haziness, erase the edges i have trained myself to perceive just to make it in the world. she reminds me that life isn’t meant to be all serious. i should be living and embracing the fun that comes from the little joys in life. such as letting myself snuggle into the oversized comfiness of my favorite cardigan, or making a cup of evening hot chocolate for no special occasion. she is the one who shows me that it is stronger to wear your heart on your sleeve than to steel itself out of fear

I’m scared because I’ve lived my life wanting to die most of the time, and now that I don’t ...

People seem to think embracing life means to do the wild and unexpected, like jumping off cliffs and going out of your way to start conversations with strangers.

Or maybe it's much simpler than that ... Sometimes, it’s just slowly learning to love yourself.

You never know where life might lead when you embrace change and let the journey unfold.

Embracing Growth Through Pain: A Journey of Transformation

Life is a beautiful yet challenging journey filled with ups and downs. At times, we encounter experiences that shake us to our core, leaving us feeling lost, hurt, and overwhelmed. It’s in these moments that we often find ourselves whispering, "I have to grow from this." But let’s be honest: the path to growth can hurt so badly. And that’s okay.

When we find ourselves in the depths of pain, it can feel like there's no way out. Whether it's heartbreak, loss, disappointment, or failure, these experiences can weigh heavily on our hearts and minds. In these tough times, it’s easy to become consumed by our pain, to feel as though we are stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness. But what if we shift our perspective? What if we view this pain as a catalyst for growth?

First and foremost, it’s important to acknowledge your feelings. Pain is a natural part of being human; it's okay to feel hurt. Allow yourself the grace to experience your emotions fully. It’s in these raw moments that we can begin to understand the depths of our hearts. Instead of suppressing your pain or putting on a brave face, give yourself permission to feel. Cry if you need to, scream if it helps, and take the time to process what you are going through.

As difficult as it may seem, remember that pain often brings clarity. It forces us to confront aspects of ourselves that we may have overlooked. In the midst of suffering, we often discover our true strength, resilience, and capacity for healing. As we begin to navigate through the hurt, we can ask ourselves important questions: What have I learned from this experience? How has it changed my perspective? What can I do differently moving forward?

Growth is rarely a linear process; it comes in waves. There will be days when you feel empowered and ready to take on the world, and there will be days when the weight of your pain feels unbearable. It’s essential to be patient with yourself during this time. Healing takes time, and it's not a race. Celebrate the small victories along the way, and acknowledge the progress you’re making, even if it feels slow.

It's also crucial to lean on your support system. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist who can provide a listening ear and a comforting presence. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with others can lighten the burden and remind you that you are not alone in your struggles. Sometimes, simply expressing what you’re going through can bring about a sense of relief and healing.

As you begin to heal, embrace the idea that this pain can transform you into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Growth doesn’t mean that the hurt will disappear entirely; rather, it means that you learn to carry it with you, to use it as a tool for future growth. You can emerge from this experience with newfound wisdom, empathy, and strength.

In conclusion, remember that it’s okay to hurt. It’s okay to feel lost. But never forget that you have the power to grow from this. Embrace the journey, however painful it may be, knowing that every challenge you face is an opportunity for transformation. Trust that you will come out on the other side, stronger and more resilient than ever. Keep moving forward, and allow your pain to be the catalyst for your most profound growth. You are capable of amazing things—just keep going!

Finding Inspiration In Survival: Embracing Your Journey

In life, we often find ourselves navigating turbulent waters—times when the challenges seem insurmountable, and we operate on pure instinct. It's during these moments that we enter what I like to call "survival mode." It's a state where we do whatever it takes to get through the day, and yet, all too often, we find ourselves judging our actions or decisions made in those tough times. Today, I want to remind you: don’t judge yourself for what you did in survival mode. You were simply trying to survive.

When we find ourselves in survival mode, we are often faced with overwhelming stress and uncertainty. In these moments, our primary goal is to make it through, and that can lead to decisions that may not align with our long-term values or desires. It’s essential to understand that this is normal. We are human, and we do what we must to cope with the circumstances around us.

You did your best with the tools you had at that time. Remember, survival mode is not about making the perfect choices; it's about getting by. It’s about finding ways to cope when faced with adversity. If you turned to unhealthy habits, made impulsive decisions, or avoided certain situations, know that these actions were your way of managing the chaos. Instead of criticizing yourself, take a moment to acknowledge your resilience. You faced challenges head-on, and that in itself is commendable.

It’s also crucial to recognize that survival mode is a temporary state. Once the immediate threat or stressor subsides, we have the opportunity to reflect on our experiences with a clearer perspective. This reflection is part of the healing process. Use this time to assess what you’ve learned and how you can grow from those experiences. Instead of focusing on the choices you wish you hadn’t made, celebrate the strength that brought you through. You were doing what you could, and that is enough.

Survival mode does not define who you are. It is merely a chapter in your story—a period of your life where you were fighting for your peace and well-being. Embrace this chapter as part of your journey, not something to be ashamed of. Allow yourself compassion and understanding, recognizing that every experience shapes you into the person you are today.

Inspiration often comes from our struggles. By sharing our stories of survival, we not only heal ourselves but can also inspire others who may be feeling lost or judged. So, let’s create a culture of understanding where we acknowledge that everyone has their battles, and sometimes, survival mode is a necessary phase.

In, remember that you are not alone in your journey. Don’t judge yourself harshly for the actions taken in survival mode. Embrace your journey, honor your resilience, and recognize that you did the best you could. Use this experience to inspire yourself and others to rise above challenges and cultivate a life of growth and self-compassion. You are worthy of love and understanding, both from yourself and others. Keep moving forward!

WHEN THE HOMIES JUST GET YOU

“Man you gotta read this.. right up your alley. The authors subject, aghori-siddha (basically wizard) goes into details of their rights, and claims essentially to be omnipresence by virtue of complete mergence with Goddess/Ma.

“One right - shava sadhana, is ‘procuring a corpse’ - a 15 yo girl in this case, he and the body naked. He sits atop the pelvis, like on the corpse, the mouth is filled with oil and a wick inserted.

“Must sit there and chant goddess mantra all through the night on a new moon, the only light being that candle illuminating the dead face. Goddess apparently shows right the fuck up with a boon of choice.

“Oh and he had to down a bottle of village moonshine first, he was a Krishna worshipping normie, no drinking.

“His guru took him out to do this by surprise and it was either do it, or be knife-killed by a band of thugs the guru brought along.

“When you can embrace the divine beauty on that situation and all it represents, you’re in.

“Of course they did not kill anyone to get the subject.

“Lord Shiva is there, revered and mentioned, but his perfect light of consciousness is just that, nothing to do - it’s neither here nor there. The unseen foundation of the house and all that goes in within it, just making it at all possible.

“Shakti on the other hand, is *everything* we can know and experience.”

"I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person's attitude so that they wouldn't get any closer. I didn't easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music."

Life Dance

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”—Theodor Seuss Geisel or Dr. Seuss My heart is full. Life is too unpredictable and too erratic for my taste to hold back and be petrified about what someone has to say about relishing life’s simple pleasure. My way or no way. If not, I’ll hit the highway. I can’t live in a box with a checklist of how it is to be…

Let God be the Judge

Let God be the Judge The Throne of Power is within the soul of an individual life.   The Seat of Grace is within the chambers of a single heart.   The Hall of Fellowship is within the will of the child.   The Fortress of Truth is within the mind of the free man.   The Gate of the Kingdom is within the choice of Belief.   The whole of the Universe is within the imagination of the Faithful.   ALL…

Embracing Life After Loss: Navigating the Journey of Letting Go

The loss of a beloved individual can be one of the most challenging and deeply painful experiences we face in our lives. Whether it is the passing of a cherished loved one or the end of a significant, emotionally invested relationship, the pain of separation and disconnection can be utterly overwhelming. However, as difficult and agonizing as this grieving process may be, it is a necessary and…
