[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…

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…

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

The arrogance mask: unveiling the deep insecurities behind arrogant behavior

Arrogance is often perceived as an irritating personality trait that some individuals exhibit with little regard for others. The haughty demeanor, dismissive remarks, and air of superiority that define arrogance can be off-putting and difficult to deal with. However, beneath this façade often lies a complex web of deep-seated insecurities. Understanding the origins of arrogance and learning how…

I learned that when we feel we haven’t made the right choices, we can feel that what we have is not good. This is a block to abundance. We can’t feel truly grateful for what we have if we can’t appreciate it first. When our decisions and choices don’t align with our true self, we feel that what we have isn’t good enough. Whether the choice is about clothes, products, education, or anything else, if we don’t feel conviction, truth, and good about the choices we make, it makes us feel that even if we possess it, it is not good!

Sometimes, we make choices that don’t feel right because we are listening to someone else’s opinion or believing something coming from the outside world. We don’t believe and trust ourselves enough, so we end up choosing wrong. Living with that kind of doubt can undermine our ability to make the right choices, and therefore to feel abundant. Working on believing and trusting ourselves is one way to bring more abundance into our lives. ~ @feminiel

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…

How can you support others on their journey, whether or not it bears any resemblance to your own? How can you encourage others to deepen their own wisdom rather than take on what you deem to be wise? Perhaps most importantly, how can you invite others to trust themselves?
