beautiful for no one to see

we may never know our souls purpose here

we may never know the control and simultaneous lack of it we possess

we may never know ourselves truly

we may never know that suffering is self inflicted

to try and ‘fix’ the trials and tribulations of thoughts and mind with the mind and thoughts is paradoxical

imagine sitting in meditation, or trying to read a book and some disruptive thoughts come up
and so you produce more thoughts “why are you thinking about that right now,” “can you just focus,” “can you be quiet, be still”

the art of letting go is seldom taught

to mitigate that chatter in your mind by letting go is expressed often but rarely is it truly understood

we have to live in this discomfort of invasive thoughts until one day we may recognize we have the choice to let them go

it’s like a break up really, a break up with your attachment to the thoughts - taking away their efficacy and their importance to you as a being

if you can read without that little voice tagging along you can understand the stories just as well, except now you don’t have the chatter

if you can sit outside in nature and sense it’s life, you can still see, hear and feel the life - but without the chatter

and when the chatter comes up you can stop it dead in it’s tracks without explaining yourself to it or explaining to it that you want it to be quiet

you can break up with the chatter

you can allow yourself a break to step into awareness even if just for a moment

those moments that seem fleeting at first will come closer together and stay for longer

and then you may begin choosing what it is you want to listen to, to feel
you may begin to accept what is there and leave the rest behind

free to be baby

be to free

the ability to believe at face value - may have been taught to us as naivety - is in fact a gift

to see truth in others is a blessing and not a curse, nor something to be ashamed of

for the harm isn’t in the believer

🧚‍♀️

to be ‘naive’ is to trust and, see, to be able to trust in a world we have been taught not to - that is powerful

obviously speaking in terms of scamming and safety we need to be weary, but now where is that line?

if something you believe may put you at risk tangibly, say your safety or your livelihood, we have those instincts in place - and if we bet wrong, life and s**t happen at the same time

but this weariness isn’t something to carry it into your relationships with lovers, friends, family

to project all of the worlds manipulation onto others does them and you a disservice

this does mean trusting yourself to be truthful, honest and integral, non manipulative and gentle

if we haven’t been this way with ourselves this may be one of the significant blinders stopping us from trusting behaviour

if believing someone does not put you at risk,

believe them

trust them

respect them

do the same for yourself, and see how the lens on your glasses change, watch the world and the people in it transform in front of you

🧚‍♀️

rich like the soil

vast like the sky

mysterious like the moon

fluid like the ocean

evolving like the weather

warm like the sun

spacious as the universe 🪐

do you ever wish you could take someone’s pain away?

take what you know, what you’ve learned, how you’ve coped and just give it to them?

see there’s pain in watching someone experience pain, but there’s also pain in taking away someone’s ability to learn by attempting to control it for them

in stepping back to support, you create space for those around you to manage on their own, cope on their own, create their own tools to do this

and watching someone grow and learn in that way far outweighs the pain you see right now

🧚‍♀️ here’s to allowing life to change you, shape you and open you up 🧚‍♀️

just because you may not get on with someone, or maybe you just don’t like them

that doesn’t make them any less of a human being

same goes for you

just because you’re judging yourself
~ doesn’t make you any less of a human being ~

when we’re deep in judgement or thought of ourselves or others bring yourself back to the basics

try and acknowledge the magic of the body, the intelligence of the body, the intuition of the body

it breathes for you, it moves for you, it provides life to you

you are not your thoughts, others are not your thoughts and others thoughts are not you

🧚‍♀️

I’ve struggled with dismissing others challenging behaviour because I can empathize with them

pro tip: you can empathize AND loving detach simultaneously

it’s taken me many years, recurring patterns with multiple people to realize the type of challenging behaviours I excuse because I think I understand where their behaviours developed

in reality if it hurts you
a don’t take it personally - it truly has nothing to do with you and same goes for you
b ask yourself if this behaviour is tolerable for you
c if it’s not - let go

this goes for all relationships, all situations and all of the societal standards you encounter

I used to have some really intense social anxiety

until I gave all the responsibility of how I was perceived to those around me
until I released the requirement to show up how everyone else expected me to
until I allowed myself to show up as me and be present in all (or most) of my interactions

when you give away the responsibility of pleasing everyone around you with how they may be expecting you to be - you give away all the weight of socialization

allow yourself to just give it away

allow yourself to show up as you

allow yourself to be where you are

and it’s way more fun 🧚‍♀️

it’s all about the vertical dimension sweet angel fairies🧚‍♀️

not deep just me
