Finding Beauty in Chaos - Even when My own Feels Overwhelming

The universe has always amazed me. Supernovae, black holes, galaxies, nebulae - they're all chaotic, unpredictable, and yet somehow breathtakingly beautiful. I can look at cosmic chaos and see wonder.

But it'sironic, because in my own life, chaos often feels unbearable. I see beauty in space being chaotic, but when I feel chaos inside myself, I usually hate it. Living with BPD means my inner world can get so exhausting and dark, and the emotions are so heavy sometimes I don't know what to do with them.

At the same time, I know that without those deep, exhausting, dark feelings, I wouldn't have those deep, amazing, unbelievable moments of joy either. The kind Where I well up with tears of happiness - sometimes just from Seeing someone else happy. I love that I'm able to feel that happiness for others. I'm also glat that through all that chaos it has helped me feel empathy for people when they need it.

Einstein once said the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. For me, chaos is part of that mystery, that adventure - both out in the universe and inside of me. The same way stars are born from the collapse of dying ones, some of my best, most compassionate parts of Myself have come from the hardest experiences.

I won't pretend its easy. sometimes my chaos still feels unbearable. But I've Started to realize it's also part of what makes me who I am. Maybe the chairs is what makes the joy possible. Maybe the chaos is sacared too.

What about you? Do you See beauty in your own chaos, or does it is still feel like something you want to escape?

A day at the marine aquarium. Though this is from a while back. I can’t help but be in a state of wonder looking at the detail that our God put into his creatures! I’m astounded taking a close look into the eye!

Do you ever wonder how people "see" you?#Wonder #Human #selfesteemissues

Sometimes i feel like when i talk, i seem like a little kid. My voice is soft and young for my age. Or people will talk down to me. Or when they talk some will talk like they are talking to a kid. I have a learning disability (Intellectual disability) Which i read has a connection to Autism? Sometimes i wonder if i have some traits of it. I lack social skills and i'M bad with communication,. Yes you guessed it. i'M a shy person. That is just how sometimes i feel like i come across to people and how special i feel treated. #LearningDisabilities #shy #Autism #Anxiety #Depression

Mhmm

When I’m on the road, I sometimes imagine a car hitting me while driving and could possibly end my life. I wonder if people would actually miss me when I’m gone? Would they post about me on social media ? Would they cry at my funeral? Would they reminisce the good times with me? All I can do is wonder. #Thoughts #Wonder

#Wonder #Selflove

Have you ever experienced making your self your safe space but then after you got your conditions, you felt betrayed by your own body and you don't feel secure anymore? And because of that you tried to find a safe space on other people and activities but things didn't work out well and you're left in pain and in deep frustration?

And now you're trying to look back and hope you didn't do what you did and hope to make your self again your own safe space; but you're reluctant because your body is just so spontaneous (flare ups) and you just cannot trust it enough....

I am already on the stage that I want my self to be my safe space again. People have their own lives so you cannot expect them to be there for you most of the time so I learned I need to trust and love my self and my conditions but it is hard and it is tiring 😔

So, how did you cope such experience? Care to share the process you've experienced in accepting your self and your conditions? What have you done?

This is my inspiring thought for today. It’s from my #Wonder calendar from this month. I love the book Wonder and the movie is pretty good too. It feels good to write down your own story and do your thing.
