I think we forget to listen to the broken when they try to speak cause we assume they will simply cry rather they have ways to save lives and speeches to mend broken hearts and minds.
“I take tiny spoonfuls of fish soup. The saltiness reminds me of my tears.” -THG Chapter 8
I’m rereading THG series and I’m on the first book. This quote is from when Katniss gets back from her private session with the Gamemakers and she’s freaking out about how she shot her arrow at the apple in the pigs mouth. When I read this line I laughed a little bit to myself thinking how dramatic it was, but then I realized how much I appreciated that. I feel like so often we invalidate people who are “dramatic” but I never thought any less of Katniss EVER. She’s such a badass and it’s so cool to see someone who’s SO strong have real life emotions like that. Growing up (and even now!) it totally validated me telling me that I’m not weak for feeling like this, it’s just how things go. It’s normal to think and feel like this!!
my faith has been choked by the realities of life
it’s desperate for air
challenges upon challenges..
does it ever end?
my heart slowly tearing
the soul trying it’s hardest to stitch it back up.
chains of regret tied around my ankles & wrists
& an insecurity cloth wrapped around my mouth.
spirit, where are you?
i'm beginning to drift away..
Removing yourself from toxic places, people or things is such a struggle when it’s become something of natural state. But the moment you finally set YOURSELF FREE it’s like a newborn babies first breath. It’s amazing, it’s beautiful, it’s a mental, physical & emotional weight lifting off your shoulders. Sometimes we take for granted ourselves when surrounded by such toxicity, we forget the natural state of who we are as a human, as a spirit as a soul. Breathing is our life’s right. So no matter where you are in your life, good or bad or in between. Please don’t forget to just take moment for yourself, and breathe. Just breathe, everything is going to be alright. 💙
Where has the past got you captured? Where is trying to figure it all out dragging you down? While it’s important to understand our motivations and origins, sacrificing the present flow to the past isn’t a good idea. Find out where you’ve let yourself become stuck to old patterns and stories. Let those reasons go. New opportunities are coming up and you’ll want to be ready to seize them. Don’t let your head get in the way. Where can you release limiting ideas and beliefs and set your heart free? #tarot #oracle #runes #charms #volva #seer #disir #tarotreading #tarotreadersofinstagram #dailytarot #divination #divinersofinstagram #thewildwoodtarot #themusesdarling #witchesofinstagram #witchy #priestess #itsoktofeel https://www.instagram.com/p/ByP980bnmMY/?igshid=sulcl2o6dom
