I’m at the point in my life where I’d rather be alone than mistreated.

Pay attention to what you tell yourself when you are at your lowest or at your worst moods. That's what you are subconsciously beginning to believe about yourself.

Blue
My English teachers taught me that a simple object in a book could mean more than my initial thought.
They taught me that a green light is not just a green light,
But a guide to hopes and dreams.
My English teachers taught me that over analyzing is key to understanding.
They taught me that the more I inspect,
The more I research, and study, and explore,
That I will recognize the most important message.
My English teachers did not teach me that symbolism is not to be used when it comes to love.
So when high school ended and there were no longer essays to highlight,
My pen found him.
And it wrote about each detail as if he were a mural painted on the side of a Philadelphia building.
I analyzed his eyes as if they were the unknown ocean floor.
And as Gatsby’s light shined green,
His eyes shined blue.
And suddenly I found my guide,
My symbol.
He was my blue.
Not only a color
But a love deeper than the sea itself.
Though I sunk while he floated to shore,
I swam as hard as I could.
Only to learn I was anchored to the same ocean floor I fell for.
But For the same reason I wondered a green light meant more than that it is,
Maybe blue is only a color.
And if it is a symbol,
Blue may not have been the best choice.

Hi
What makes you happy? Is it a walk in the park, blasting BENEE on your headphone, singing, "That was a waste of fucking time, you were a waste of fucking time!", "The others, they don't have the same effect, don't wanna be someone who you forget. "or "La, la, la, la, Lonely, I'm a lonely bitch!" or listening to a smutty audiobook, thoroughly describing how they will fuck you on the dining table, or their hands traversing under the table from your knee to the apex of your thigh? Scandalous! How do you chase your dopamine? Is it having a new crush? It's quite silly, huh? How your heart stutters when they are in the vicinity. How a whole jungle of animals is dancing in your stomach. Hey, you can choose yourself, you know that, right? You don't have to wait; this is the time. You can be and do whatever you desire. You can do the things you said you would start and didn't because life happened. Is it a dusty book half written in the back of your dresser? Is it a song you were trying to write? Do you want to move to another city and reinvent yourself? You can totally do that. Or perhaps simple things make you happy? Do you want to watch the series you've been holding off because work is taking up a massive space in your life? Or a warm shower---a rain of water washing all the pain away. And, yes, let's not forget sleep! It is important you know. You can stay up late and maybe sleep in? Or call that friend, that friend who will sit and process everything with you. Again, there is no limit. This is your life, your choices, and your happiness. Take care of yourself. :)
---Joan G, excerpt from When I say, What I Mean

Slight
(Empowering Self-Trust and Positive Change. )
Tumblr media
You must allow yourself to be manipulated, in order, to manipulate others. To take control, you must reach for it. In this reach lies fear. So many people reach for your attention daily. Seldom without ulterior motive.
This makes it hard to trust when ever you see this reach. Past traumas come to light when desires to harm the hand that reaches towards you, manifest. Even if it would feed you. Intrusive thoughts Expecially tell you to if it trys to poison/feed you.
You chose you before you would take a chance with any deceitful hands.
Beautiful isn't it? In this moment good and evil are not black or white. They are even the same exzact shape. Changing the mindstate would help you right?
Just exhale years of pain and forgive with a single breath.
Is it safe to take that chance? Be the change you wanna see in the world?
This pain is carried on your sholders and theirs as well
But to do this you must reach inside. Do the very thing to yourself that others have learned to do to you.
No! Change takes time. Any good change that is.
If you cut two clients hair, are you a barber?
You can manipulate hair, just not worth anything, yet. It is in this slight reach into the relm of possibility where you find purpose.
How do you feel gripping that. The motive could feel negative, or positive. But it is yours and yours alone. Label it if you need.
But just know you can die without changing, not everyone has to have the same standards or wants as you.
Be kind to yourself.

Do It For Them
They have this saying, "Be the adult you needed when you were a child," and I kept replaying that over and over. Thinking about the little girl who would spend her days daydreaming of who I would become. Maybe even who I am today. I remember her having so much hopes and dreams; living in an apartment in the city, having a fun and healthy lifestyle that was filled with love, laughter, sometimes some sadness, sometimes with anger. But it would be a life that I could call my own. The main thing she thought of was I became the woman I needed when I was a little girl. Someone who was filled with love, kindness, strength, and wisdom despite of the world's cruelty. Someone who would choose herself. Someone who would put on a brave face in front of a crowd regardless of her scars, and would heal them behind closed doors. Just.. someone she could look up to.
I find myself looking back to that little girl. More importantly on days that seem so slow, on days that I wish that would end quicker or entirely. I think about her innocent and sweet heart; her sparkling, big eyes filled with hopes and dreams for me.. and it reminds me of my purpose. That I am not just doing this for me now, I am doing this for her as well. I would think that how could I give up.. on her? How could I break her little heart? The little one that believed in me..
She gives me strength. And I will owe it all to her. I do owe it to her. I could not, for the life in me, have the heart to let her down. And someday, I will make her proud. Fulfilled even.
So that quote was right; do it for the child in you that believed in you when no one else did. The child in you that needed the adult you are and will be now. The child that still lives in you, waiting that you will become the person they have hoped you will be.

🌟 Prioritizing Self-Love: Navigating Boundaries with Confidence 🌟
Ever felt guilty for putting yourself first? You're not alone. But here's the thing – when you prioritize your own well-being, you're not being selfish; you're practicing self-love and setting healthy boundaries. Here's why it's essential to disregard the negativity from those who resist your self-care:
1️⃣ Self-Love is Not Selfishness: Taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it's a necessity. Just like you'd put on your own oxygen mask before helping others on an airplane, self-care equips you to be there for others in a more meaningful and sustainable way.
2️⃣ Boundaries Define Respect: Setting boundaries is a sign of self-respect. It communicates to others how you want to be treated and what you're comfortable with. Those who respect you will honor these boundaries.
3️⃣ Your Needs Matter: Putting yourself last can lead to burnout, resentment, and dissatisfaction. By prioritizing your needs, you're investing in your mental, emotional, and physical well-being – and that ultimately benefits everyone around you.
4️⃣ Energy Matters: When you consistently prioritize others over yourself, you risk depleting your energy reserves. When you're running on empty, you're less able to give your best to others, leading to subpar relationships and interactions.
5️⃣ Empowerment Over Guilt: Choosing self-care over people-pleasing empowers you to make choices that align with your values. It's a move away from guilt-driven decisions and towards choices that nourish your soul.
6️⃣ Healthy Relationships Thrive: People who genuinely care about you will support your self-care journey. Healthy relationships flourish when both parties prioritize their well-being and respect each other's boundaries.
7️⃣ Inner Peace: Prioritizing yourself creates a sense of balance and inner peace. It shields you from resentment and promotes a positive mindset that ripples into all areas of your life.
Remember, those who get upset when you put yourself first may be uncomfortable with the shift in dynamics. But your well-being is non-negotiable. It's a statement that you value yourself, your time, and your energy. So, stand firm in your self-care journey, set those boundaries, and surround yourself with people who genuinely support your growth and happiness. 💪❤️

These feelings you are having, feel them, it doesn't make you wrong. Fighting them doesn't make you right. It only delays your goal, halts the journey of the person you are going to become.
You see, we don't have control over what we want. You are only a human with the ability to dream. Your heart is a wood, it's wild, it doesn't care about man-made boundaries. It desires what it desires. Let it. Watch it shy away with the thoughts of having those dreams come true. Water it with acceptance. Let it live. Bodies are caged by norms, hearts do not have to be.
Sometimes, the only thing you need to be free is to stop limiting yourself because you have been taught to walk between the lines, because you have memorized that anything not conventional is flawed. It's not wrong if it is where you feel right.
