We often seek validation from others, forgetting that the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. Self-acceptance is the foundation for all other connections.

The power of being a HUMAN

Hello my friends 🙏☺️❤️

Sometimes the world seems deeply unfair. People often focus on punishment, guilt, and justice, not realizing they cause even more misery. In psychology, there's a famous triangle: attacker-victim-and the savior. People who save might become the victim of the victim and the attacker of the attacker.

We all are mobile, shifting between these roles throughout our lives.Between black and white, we have all the colors of the rainbow. We're all complicated beings, having both light and shadows of our own. We move along various scales in life - between being a victim, savior, or aggressor; between shadow and light; between justice and compassion; between self-acceptance and self-hate.The solution is being compassionate, firstly inwards to yourself. You might feel anger, jealousy, fear and disgust - congratulations, YOU ARE A HUMAN.

It's so hard to accept the pain that our reality and world is full of... And the temptation to divide into right and wrong, those who should suffer and those who shouldn't... But the truth is that no one should be punished or suffer.As the beautiful African proverb says: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". 🔥

No child, no animal, no group, no patient, no member, no friend should be left alone... The healing of the individual is the healing of society. The healing of a nation is the healing of the world.

It's true, this path isn't easy. It's unknown. But from 300,000 years of human existence, if we choose to believe the theory of science - for more than 99% of humankind's life span we lived in harmony with life and nature. Only in the last 1% of time have we developed so much that we forgot our roots... But the roots of harmony and compassion are always there, therefore we can remember them whenever we're ready to look beyond the known.

Let's explore new paths of life, as individuals full of mutual solidarity - and as groups and humankind. We all are one, this life is short, let's make it the best lives possible for as many people as possible.

Thank you for reading ❤️❤️

A Soul’s Embrace

Sitting in the dark because it brings far more comfort than the light.

There is nothing here for all my doubts and fears, and at the bottom, the well of all my tears.

There, a child is crying, a teenager is screaming, and a young woman is trying desperately to find meaning.

I look to them with pity; their emotions are plenty, overwhelm wrapping me like vines, the thorns of each new and old emotion digging in.

My blood, sweat, and tears— yet life never feels like a win. How long must I carry the weight I thought I had dropped?

When will I heal enough to live and not exist, to thrive and not survive, to find joy in everyday life?

To find solace in those that love me, to find beauty in those that accept me, to stand in awe of my reflection, to see the me those loving eyes mirror back.

To find comfort in the words that soothe the crying child, to calm the screaming teenager, to guide the young woman, explaining that life is an adventure that doesn’t need a plan.

To help the survivor understand that in order to thrive, she must let go of control, to let be, to not look back— the future is waiting, and the present is calling.

Healing may not be linear, but it’s a checkpoint— so even if we have to go back, we can always move forward.

And one day, we will stand firm in ourselves; we will whisper, I love you.

I love every crack and fissure, I love every flaw without measure, I love every emotion we feel, I love the body that carries our soul, and I love our soul and our love, most of all.

✨ a little reminder in comic form: being yourself — truly, unapologetically — is way cooler than bending into shapes for people who wouldn’t notice if you disappeared. Especially if you're non-binary, or existing outside the "default" — your truth is not up for compromise. stop performing. start being. 💫🌈

Embracing My Worth: I Was Always More Than Enough

I’ve cried rivers over you. I’ve felt your absence in every part of me, as if a piece of my soul was missing. I missed you with everything I had—my heart, my mind, my body. There were moments when the pain consumed me, and I even hated you for it. I hated how you left, how you made me feel like I wasn’t enough. And for a long time, I wondered if it was all my fault. I questioned everything about myself, every action, every word.

But not anymore.

There came a moment when I finally understood something so powerful that it set me free: it wasn’t that I wasn’t good enough for you—it was that I was too much. I loved with a depth you couldn’t meet. I cared in ways that you couldn’t understand. I brought passion, honesty, and strength to the table, and it wasn’t that those things weren’t valuable. They were simply too big for the space you had in your life.

I used to think that I needed to change, to be smaller, quieter, easier for you. But I’ve learned that the problem was never me trying to be enough—it was you not being able to receive all that I am. I am more than enough, and I deserve someone who sees that, who can meet me at my level and celebrate my fullness.

I am enough. I’ve always been enough. And now, I fully embrace that truth

just for a moment, let yourself think that you didn’t do anything wrong. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are enough. just for a moment, let yourself think that you don’t need to change. just for a moment, let yourself think that you don’t have to change. let yourself think that you don’t need to figure it out. just for a moment, let yourself think that you don’t need to grow and evolve. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are perfect. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are cool, which is actually so stupid to think. just for a moment, let yourself think that you know enough. just for a moment, let yourself think that you have the right to not understand. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are right. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are on the right path. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are where you want to be. just for a moment, let yourself think that everything is fine, that it’s actually fucking perfect. just for a moment, let yourself think that you are good. just for a moment, let yourself think that you were wronged. just for a moment, let yourself feel the anger towards everyone and everything. just for a moment, let yourself feel the hate towards everyone and everything. just for a moment, stop the need to rise to expectations of anything — of something, of society, of your mother, of your grandparents, of the man you’re looking for. just for a moment, stop judging yourself. just for a moment, accept yourself as you are: disgusting, too fat, with a face full of pimples, with cellulite on your ass, with hips too big and ass too small, with a body of a man, with hair on your face, with hairy legs, back, and armpits you’ve tried everything to get rid of. you’ve devastated your skin with wax. you’ve shaved, only for it to grow stronger and become even more visible on your strawberry legs that no lotion can fix, and you can’t afford laser treatment yet. fuck this. fuck everything. stuff yourself with chocolate and go to sleep. ignore everything, ignore negative thoughts, ignore positive ones. just take a breath and rest. tomorrow, or in a few weeks, you will find the strength to eat clean again, take care of yourself, take yourself dancing on the carpet in the middle of your room, take out your gratitude journal and do something productive, because it actually makes you feel better. you will realize that you love your family, and they want the best for you, no matter in what way they show it. and actually, you have a lot to love. hate will pass, as it has no space in your beautiful heart, and no one deserves it. you will jump back, with insight on why it’s you, you actually hate on, and you will learn how to be yourself again. you will find light again. you will realize that your past hurt is only keeping you in its claws, that it passed, and you can get yourself up — not with even more hate or blame, but slowly with love and compassion. you will find the strength to face what’s actually not okay and doesn’t sit right with you, and you will realize you want to do better, not only for others, but for yourself. because you’ve spent too long in a swamp. you will find freedom because you didn’t suppress that, and you didn’t let it control you or your life. and maybe you tried a thousand times, but maybe what you’ve learned to become and how you’ve learned to survive is too much to handle for your beautiful soul, fragile heart, and hard mind. this is true power, and only you have it inside of you to fix your life with the smallest steps you can take, because you are drained. you will notice that those bitchful patterns that had you as their puppet start to whimper in fear and dissolve as the little pathetic shits they are — not overpowering demons they pretend to be. let this part that somehow got to you die. it’s not pity she needs but a goodbye.

Understanding Emotional Trauma
