i know that confrontation can be super scary, given that it's something i avoided for a majority of my life, but sometimes it's necessary.... sometimes feeling that anxiety is worth it, especially when it comes to things like standing up for your friends and showing them they have support when they're confronting someone who has hurt them
like.... an ex-friend fucked over two of my friends recently and he never acknowledged it or apologized to either of them. now, almost two months later, he sent a message to our gc asking if we wanted to hang out because he was going to be in the area from tomorrow to friday... which is super short notice, especially since all of us either work / go to school.... it was also insane because he COMPLETELY ignored what happened ???
so in response my friend (who was affected) wrote a set of paragraphs expressing that she was upset and how he wronged her and our other friend, and ended it by saying that if he wants to hang out he needs to let us know in advance instead of informing us last min like he always does -__- my other friend (who was affected) sent a msg right after, and i sent a message of agreement. this leaves one friend within the group, and she didn't say Anything...... the four of us (excluding the ex-friend) were talking in a gc about it, and when i sent my response, my friend (who hadn't said anything yet) was like 'aw man now /i/ have to say something' LIKE GIRL WHAT???
it annoyed me soooo bad because she made it seem like a chore... what i even sent wasn't even that long, it was literally just one sentence lol and that's because it didn't feel like it was my place to say something long since i wasn't directly affected, but i Still wanted to show support for my friends. so i asked her why she didn't want to say anything, and i wasn't confrontational in the way that i asked, and her response was simply 'eh cause i dont want to LOL' like -____- dont piss me offffff wtf
idk it's just so baffling to me how she can be so nonchalant... she agrees that what he did to our friends was fucked and she was even pissed about it herself, but when it came to ACTUALLY saying something to him directly, she didn't want to say anything.... and she even followed up her message to us by saying that if he wants to hang out, he has to reach out to her directly... what... wtf.... what the hell are you saying..........

HAVING AN INTENTIONAL ROOM
Your room is the most important place in your life. You sleep, wake up, heal and experience many emotions just in your room. You have to take care of your room, so it is spiritually the ideal place to grow into the best version of yourself.
KEEPING YOUR ROOM CLEAN
Keeping your room free of mess is an act of mindfulness and self-discipline that supports your overall journey and connects you with your higher self. It helps with promoting clarity, and cultivating inner balance and is an everyday self-care ritual.
Make your bed every day. You have to respect the place in which you sleep and heal.
Hang up clean clothes after the day or put any dirty clothes in your laundry hamper, avoid tossing them on the floor.
Find a place for everything, and know where everything is. If you do not know where each thing in your room is located, you either have too much clutter or you’re disorganised.
Tidy up your room daily, neatly putting everything away in its place. If needed, buy a few organisers.
Don’t leave rubbish for extended periods. Treat your room like a temple, don’t disrespect it, and pick up after yourself.
Try to avoid eating meals in your bedroom. We forget the dirty dishes over time, and it stinks and attracts unwanted bugs.
Change bed sheets regularly. Once a week at the most, for more hygienic reasons though.
Remove unwanted items on your bedside table. Keep it minimal and intentional with anything you want to place on it.
Regularly clean up the dust in your room, using a duster or a damp microfiber cloth on all of the surfaces.
ENCOURAGING GROWTH IN YOUR LIFE
A room designed to encourage inner growth serves as a physical reminder of your commitment to self-improvement, personal development, and overall well-being. It creates an environment helpful to improvement, self-reflection, and positive change.
Keep specific areas of your room designated to one task in your life. For me, my desk is for productivity, my bed is for resting or relaxing and my bedroom floor is for mindful activities.
Throw away any items that do not serve a purpose to you anymore. Avoid keeping items that bring you painful or harmful memories.
Minimise the presence of technology in your room. I suggest having zones in your room which is device-free or having a time of day in which devices are not allowed in your room.
Create a vision board poster in your room that you can see every day, which helps to visualise and motivate you to create your dream life.
Place meaningful quotes, affirmations, mantras or prayers as reminders of the values, mindsets or intentions you wish to cultivate in your life.
Display personal achievements. If you won any awards or certificates, place them in a way in which you can view them every day. If you have done something in your life that you think is an achievement but have no award to display, just simply create your own. Buy some balsawood and glue it together to create your own medal.
Place items that align with the habits or routines you want to cultivate in your life so that they are easily accessible. Put a workout mat in the corner, always have your journal on your desk or have a cold water bottle ready to go when you wake up.
3. DECORATING YOUR ROOM TO REFLECT YOU
Decorating your room in a way that reflects your true self brings a sense of authenticity and comfort. It creates a nurturing environment that allows for self-expression, reflection, and personal growth which ultimately contributes to your journey of inner development.
Make a mood board or vision board of how you would want your room to look, how it supports you and how it makes you feel. Choose a colour scheme in this process as well.
Add candles or incense that you think embodies who you are, or who you want to be. For example, if I want to be a cleaner person, I would choose a candle that smells like fresh linen.
Put up posters of things that you like, people who you look up to or anything that expresses who you are.
Add a canopy to your bed while you sleep. So cute, and I believe it helps protect you from any unwanted energy entering through you while you sleep.
Add a rug, even if you already have carpet, to enhance the cozy ambience of the room.
An ottoman at the end of the bed can elevate your room to look more expensive, if needed, it can also be an organiser for your extra things.
Put life in your room, adding low-maintenance plants or flowers can liven it up. A little extra, research some plants or flowers meaning’s and pick one that resonates with you.
Display any of your favourite jewellery, bags, clothing pieces, or make-up around your room. A nice way to appreciate what you have, without actually using them.
