Change the way you think, you'll change the way you talk.

Change the way you talk, you'll change the way you live.

Change the way you live, you'll change your entire life.

Real change comes from within. It all starts with your mindset. I know its so hard to do this. I've been working on changing my mind about myself for years. I had major automatic negative thoughts about myself and such low self esteem, it completely shaped how I thought about myself and how I lived my life. Now I think positive about myself and its changing my entire life for the best. I had to start with my thoughts and changing my own mind.

Healing takes time, diligence and patience. Its tedious and slow. Be gentle with yourself. Water yourself, grow your roots deep and reach up towards the sun.

#Healing

Move towards the light. Keep your eyes fixed on it and don't lose sight.

Dear Soul,

Please forgive me for I am still learning how to take care of you.

Please be patient with me for I am still learning how to love you.

I got to spend some time outside this weekend. Sleeping under the stars. I feel like it refreshed my soul. I love the outdoors. So grounding. It's free to go outside. #glimmer #greatful #Healing

I’ve been asking myself why I’m here. Why do I feel compelled to write, to use my voice, and to share?

This is my attempt to answer that. A note to hold me accountable, and a promise to you, whoever finds yourself reading.

Writing is like breathing to me. If I hold it in too long, I pass out. And when I come to, I’m doing it again. No matter how long the unconsciousness, when I live consciously, I write.

It is not all philanthropy. I want to share myself.

Not because I’m wise or special, but because being witnessed confirms I exist. You, almost as a mirror, prove that I’m alive. My past, my trials and my dreams. Maybe this will be an artifact, a fragment, for my lineage.

Or maybe simply: I share, therefore I am.

It’s a compulsion, a force I don’t understand.

I don’t have the answers as to why bad things happen. I’m no learned theologian, great philosopher, or logical statistician.

I’m just a thinker. A seeker. Someone trying to make sense of the senseless.

A regular person burdened by too much sensitivity, shaped (like many of us), by our own unique flavor of suffering. For a long time I felt utterly alone in that.

What I hope to offer throughout my life is whatever support can come from sharing what I’ve learned through my experience, for the sufferers and for all.

If one person feels acknowledgment here, if one person feels less alone because of something here, that’s connection. And connection is belonging.

I am on a journey of discovery; finding the stardust that I was meant to be, and the stardust life has made me. Both are me. All of it.

We belong by virtue of creation, and we belong together.
