[feminiel]

Vulnerability feels less scary when nurtured. You learn to fear vulnerability because you felt you were not accepted and loved for who you truly are. Your vulnerable emotions and feelings, which are part of what form the essence of who you are, didn’t receive the attention and acceptance they needed to build trust around your vulnerabilities. As a result, you fear being hurt, judged, and rejected for your vulnerabilities. Learning to be vulnerable starts with reconnecting with your own pain and vulnerable feelings. When you feel strong and courageous in your vulnerable side, first by yourself, feeling vulnerable with someone you trust will become less scary. You need to learn how to trust yourself to protect you, so you can embrace your vulnerabilities. ~ @feminiel

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. –Winston Churchill

Helping others trust themselves is not about boosting their self-esteem by praising them. It has much more to do with taking an interest in who they are and what they observe rather than trying to impart who we are and what we observe.

reflections written in the park i walked every day in during the most tumultuous years of my teens. as the trees have changed, so have i, yet as the trees have remained the same, so have i. leaving home with renewed faith in the only one who can deliver me: myself. 

i was never a loyalist to my homeland,

but when i saw the trees

that had towered over my head 

in my teenage years,

i graced the earth with my knees 

and raged.

to the girl 

sitting by the lake 

counting good omens on stones 

and stringing her worth on fair words:

the only one 

who can deliver you 

from your despondency 

is yourself.

Cave divers make me green with envy

There was an article in Frankie’s Issue 84, titled The Jealous Kind, where four writers (Caro Cooper, Daniel Moore, Mia Timpano and Eleanor Robertson) talk about what makes them jealous. Topics range from being desirous of having a non-dysfunctional family, the zen of a cat’s life, people who can trust relationships to how ridiculous the emotion is. Naturally, I wanted to give it a go, and for…

How can you trust someone again?

If you’ve been hurt or betrayed, trusting others again can feel like an impossible task. But here’s the surprising truth to trust someone again: it starts with trusting yourself. You are probably thinking: “Wait, whaaaat?!?”. Here is what I mean: when you trust that you are capable of taking care of your needs, that you are able to advocate and stand up for yourself, that you can protect your…

I stumbled on your page and saw the last ask about bad things happening, it made me think of my own situation. I was in my last semester of nursing school in this online program that said they had the accreditation and licensing I would need to work for the past year. I am in this group chat with students that I never open, the day that I decide to look at it, I find out that the school basically scammed us and their associate nursing program was not accredited at all & they don’t view it as a professional degree when it was not advertised that way at first and no school staff told us this. It’s based in Puerto Rico and if I never opened that chat and found out all this information about it not being even real (their degree) I would’ve flown there today for my clinicals in the hospital. I’m already a nurse (LPN) I just wanted to get my RN and it being online was flexible due to my job. Now, I have to find another school in my state because other online programs gave me PTSD from this situation. Sorry for venting, but I feel like Spiritually this happened to maybe learn not to listen to others (I only joined this program because my mom and her friend kept pressuring me about it because her friend was in it, I always said it felt shady but applied after a year of them pressing me) & also if the school degree was never real and I still went, I would have to waste even more money. Idk, I have no one really to talk to this about. Everyone else in my life just looks at me with pity and keeps asking what I’m gonna do.

As unfortunate as the whole situation is, you are learning an important lesson here- one of trusting yourself, and this is what matters. What you are experiencing is part of growth and self-actualization. Learning to listen to yourself and your intuition is not always going to feel good or work out perfectly, sometimes we are challenged by those around us, society, and past experiences that cloud our judgment. What is important is that we learn from experience and move forward, and it seems like you are doing exactly that :)

Jouw DIY Held: De Onmisbare Principes

In een wereld vol chaos en bullshit, zijn mijn principes het kompas dat me op het rechte pad houdt. Ze maken me sterk, trouw aan mezelf en zorgen dat ik de puinhoop overleef. Zonder principes ben je niets. 🌍💪 #Zelfrespect #Motivatie #August2024

Het leven is een totale clusterfuck. Iedereen probeert je hun kant op te slepen, alsof je een menselijke flipperkast bent, kaatsend van crisis naar crisis. Iedereen wil iets van je en het maakt ze geen reet uit of je daarbij in duizend stukjes breekt. Maar er is één ding dat me elke dag weer helpt om niet compleet gestoord te raken: mijn principes. Kijk, principes zijn voor mij geen regels die…

I think believing in ourselves is a bit like believing in the Divine.

You believe in the Divine because you trust and have faith that it is good, trustworthy, loving, forgiving, caring, and supportive. You believe it wants the best for you and is ever-present in your life, no matter what happens. You trust that the Divine will make things work for you one way or another, despite the challenges you face. You believe it has your best interests at heart and that it makes things happen in your favor. You trust the Divine holds all the answers you need to fulfill your heart’s desires. You believe it is helping and guiding you every step of the way toward everything you could ask for.

In the same way, I think believing in ourselves involves recognizing that we possess the same kind of power within. You believe and have faith in yourself because you are good, trustworthy, loving, forgiving, caring, and supportive. You believe in yourself because you know you deserve the best and will always be there for yourself, no matter what. You trust yourself because you know you will find ways to make things work, despite any challenges you face. You believe you have your best interests at heart and things are working in your own favor. You trust yourself because you know all the answers to make your heart feel at peace are within you. You believe in yourself because you know you can guide yourself every step of the way toward your deepest prayers.

The way you believe in the Divine is a reflection and image of how you believe in yourself. ~ @feminiel

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

Building Trust For Social Goodwill

Building trust is essential for gaining social goodwill in a new environment. This is achieved through understanding chronicity, shared identity...

When in the midst of one’s kinsmen, it is easy to underestimate the role of trust in fetching goodwill from members of our tribes and circles. We seem not to recognize the privilege of being trusted for simply just being a member of the clan or tribe because we are automatically deserving of goodwill and belongingness by simply just being born into that tribe. In a broader social context, there…

A feeling to remember in hard times...

So much to learn and you say it's just a game. Be a Maxwell!

Be a Maxwell!– wisdomkhan After 95/7, who would’ve thought that Maxwell would win it for Australia? Maxwell (201*) with Cummins (12* off 68) chased it down against Afghanistan who dropped Maxwell on 33. Big mistake. Although we derive a lesson to not to let go of easy opportunities but it was a thing destined to happen (hone vaali baat thi) and so it did. Can’t do much about it. Maxwell truly…
