Ow

What's wrong?

My hand hurts

That's because you're holding a shard of glass

I know

Why don't you just let it go?

I don't remember a time in my life I haven't had it

What is it?

It used to be something, before it broke. But now I don't remember what it was

If it has no significance and does not give you any purpose, just let it go

Okay

...

How do you feel?

Weird and bad. And my hand is still bleeding

That's normal, healing takes time. And one day you'll even forget you had a cut on your hand.

————

Letting go. (Inspired)

Day 1 of my “follow your joy” experiment:

Starting the day with some really chill stretching and listening to fun/happy music! Also made myself an iced mocha & played with my cute ass puppy. Started thinking about approaching local businesses to create brand strategies for them because that’s something I find mad fun. I need to still do my taxes (oops) so strategizing a way to make it a joyful experience as I have felt mad resistance. Turning it into a game seems to be working! I think I’m going to make it like a beat the clock kind of game. This is such a good way to get through anything that on the surface feels shitty. MAKE IT A GAME !

I want to note that at this point of my life I am completely broke and just went through a really bad chapter of depression and my partner and I are taking space. So needless to say, it’s been a tough go lately, but I realize that I was guiding my life with things like guilt or should’s or the expectations I thought others had on me. It was like I was constantly in a fear state that I would get in trouble or upset someone or go against others expectations of me.

All that led to was me becoming increasingly incapable of doing anything I needed to do and to becoming overwhelmed by obsessive thoughts and controlling behaviour. It made me totally broke and lose everything. It made me too anxious to actually work any jobs I did get. It made everything feel like I was about to burst into tears. During this time I was purging a lot of pain from my past and a lot of my insecurities so it all served a purpose, but at a point you realize that the healing pot is infinitely deep and - do you really want to spend your entire short life here in that state? Or do you want to just accept that life hasn’t been perfect and move forward with joy and love.

I’m noticing tons of mercury retrograde things happening right now, like technology not working, meetings not lining up, my bf engaging with his ex, etc. This is really solidifying the understanding that we really aren’t in control. Having an awareness of this stuff is so powerful - not because you can stop things from happening, but because with awareness, you won’t react with fear. If you react with fear it only further fucks your journey up.

When it comes to following your joy - that includes following joyful thoughts. Every time I have a thought that doesn’t bring me joy, I am now choosing to shift my focus elsewhere. This isn’t to say we should force thinking positively, because then we are still in fear and resistance, but rather redirect our thoughts to those that are natural to us but also bring joy.

For example, if thinking about my partner brings me anxiety right now, sure, I could force myself to think about all the good times and aspects about him I love, or I could accept that thinking about him in this moment doesn’t make me feel good, and think about something that does, like flowers or sunshine or sleeping all day.

The key is to follow your natural joy, not force it, and to accept how you’re truly feeling. The anxious, controlling energy repels. If something pisses you off, leave it alone. If something psyches you up, get into it!

I’ve also been exploring some patterns of relationship dynamics tonight and it’s so wild how different connections can totally drive us further down our purposeful path. It just goes to show how you never really want to cut yourself off from exploring a human being if it feels natural. There will be something from the dynamic to learn and when relationships are controlling or too strictly monogamous, they cut off the potential for spiritual growth.

I feel like monogamy channels the energy very strongly, so sometimes that can be a bit too intense if you’re not spiritually developed enough or aren’t quite aware enough about the dynamic and how to master it. For example, I was on the app The Pattern and it was describing to a T the dynamic that has played out between me and my partner. It’s wild! I wish I dug into that a little deeper before going through this stuff and it possibly being too late.

But these dynamics can exist between multiple people, so it just goes to show that there isn’t a one soul mate. It really is a choice and ultimately you’ll choose a partner that is aligned with bringing you the growth you desire. Maybe there’s a perfect match, but I’ve never seen it.

It was really helpful though and gave me hope because it showed me areas where I can grow and compromise to create a happy, healthy bond. Ultimately it really was a lack of clear communication getting in the way.

This time apart has been so transformational. I truly am grateful for space and won’t fight it again. It’s very cool to have a partner where our chemistry comes together to open up something new about our spirits and souls journey. I have learned so much is such short time while knowing and loving him. It would be so incredible to be able to transmute the negatives of our dynamic into the possibility for something really amazing.

Right now I feel a resistance to him and to us seeing each other so I’m trusting that and that when it’s time for us to see each other again, that repelling energy will have dissipated.

What I read about today in the untethered soul was the resistance / clinging dynamic, very similar to the push and pull, runner/chaser, empath/narc type of dynamic. Essentially a duality. It made me realize how I’ve been having that type of relationship with everything in my life. I either cling to something or someone or I resist or self sabotage or push it away. Seeing this is helping me realize I can just step out of that dance and no longer be pulled so much.

That dynamic completely comes from fear. Fear to lose something causes you to cling. Fear to get too close or mess something up makes you avoid and push it away. It’s just so clear now.

I love how things can suddenly click just by someone articulating it in a way that makes sense to you. That’s why there’s no limit to the books or speakers or material in the universe that will succeed. Everyone speaks a different language and different ways will resonate with different people.

By God's grace, two more poems...

By God’s grace, two more poems…

Sometimes you need someone to give you a gentle shake. Just a few words of encouragement can go a long way. My friend Sandra gave me that this week and I am so grateful. Here are two poems I wrote a few weeks ago. I don’t feel like a ‘good’ Christian. I feel very flawed and lost in the fog of medication but there are small moments of clarity. It is God who is ‘good’ not me, it is by grace we are…

Everyone heals at their own time…

Now this is something that I knew at the back of my head. But it is also something that deeply annoyed me, because why am I not healing fast enough. The fallout of my first broken heart, my first breakup meant I can’t do my job properly, I can’t be happy I’m general, I struggle to be with my friends and teams because all I want to do is be in bed and sleep/cry the pain away. I took a massive step and I took my time. The think about healing is that everyone who has gone through what you’ve gone through will tell you what they think you should do. They will pressure you to do it, even though you tell them you’re not ready to do it. The best thing about living away from the people that say these things is that you can take your time. Because you can ignore them. My therapist told me I should listen to my body and my feelings. So I did. And on Thursday something clicked on my head. It was something so urgent, something in my head told me that this was EXACTLY what I needed to do at that moment, even though I’m sick and tired. I needed to get his stuff out of my flat. It had finally clicked in my brain they needed to be out. He wants what we had to be over, so over it shall be. I needed to fix my bed, I needed to get his stuff out and I needed to clean my room. And I did that. I boxed his stuff up and booked a collection for the next day. I kept a few things (my therapist approved too): a few T-shirts I liked, a few things that were too big to box up, and his travel bag because it’s big and I’m not about to pay an insane amount of money for shipping (and because it’s good storage as well). I fixed my bed after a year. I put up my medals on the wall <33. I put my degree certificate on a frame and on my wall. I cleaned my shelves. I took most of the things from my floor. I’m halfway through cleaning my room. And I feel a sense of relief. But I’m also overwhelmed in feelings. I’m allowing myself for the first in 3 times to accept or at least acknowledge it’s over. Even though I never really wanted it to be. Because I still miss him. He was such an important person in my life. I loved him so much. But now he’s gone, his things are gone and I’m just here trying to process and understand it all. Maybe one day it will all be okay. Who knows. I guess only time will tell.

We all know at this point that the name Astarion is connected to the word "star" (starry or little star).

But Larian decided that they wanted to go all in with the details and they delivered!

The flower you can place on his tomb in the final romance scene (which I think is such a cute and tender gesture and I love his reaction to it), seems to be an Ornithogalum umbellatum, a star-shaped white flower with six petals. Among the plant's many common names, there are summer snowflake, starflower, and star-of-Bethlehem.

Moreover, in the language of flowers, its meanings are related to trauma, mourning, and welcoming pain without repressing it.

According to Doctor Edward Bach (1886 – 1936), these flowers are "For those who find themselves in a state of great anguish due to situations that, in a given period, have caused so much unhappiness", and can be used to help with the aftermath of a trauma, the alleviation of pain and the mourning process.

Edit: every time I see an artist include this flower in their Astarion fanart my heart swells with joy. Love this community

#Alright I'm gonna go cry #as if that scene didn't already break me #I love the good/spawn ending so much #it's such a lovely testament to the journey to overcome trauma and start the healing process #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #baldur's gate iii #bg3 astarion #language of flowers #bg3 spoilers

SELF VALIDATION

First things first, if you validate your existence on externalities, you will never truly be happy. While it’s important to have values and to act on them, it shouldn’t be your main source of happiness.

E.g. parent validation, academic validation, and male validation. So, here are some tips to validate yourself.

VALUE YOUR OPINION. You should have the ability to make decisions and identify yourself solely on your opinion. Trust, giving people that ability to shape your decisions and curate your identity, allows them to dictate your worth.

SELF LOVE OVER OTHERS. Ensure you are doing everything in your power to treat yourself lovingly. Even if it means sacrificing a few things in life. E.g. going to sleep early instead of cramming for a test.

BE RESILIENT. When I say that, I don’t mean ‘don't let anything affect you’ but rather, build yourself up to the point that when someone/something knocks you down, you can bounce back easily.

BECOME SELF AWARE. Know your strengths, and weaknesses, and be mindful of the truth. Be genuine when it comes to this because self-awareness helps us with becoming more in touch with our inner selves.

AVOID NEGATIVE SELF TALK. This can cause us to rely on others to hear good things about ourselves. Instead, say affirmations in the mirror.

STOP PEOPLE PLEASING. There’s a difference between genuinely being nice, and being a doormat. You shouldn’t have to bend over backwards for others, and they give absolutely nothing back. Invest that time and effort into yourself.

SOMEONE’S GAIN IS NOT YOUR LOSS. This is a mindset shift that will change the game. You have to stop seeing successful, wealthy, pretty or intelligent people as threatening your skills or talents. There is enough success for everyone.

DETACH FROM OTHERS. Friends, family, males, etc. Stop letting how other people treat you, dictate your mood for the rest of the day. The only factor your mood should depend on is you. What you do, say, and act is the only factor.

KNOCK OTHERS FROM YOUR PEDESTAL. The only person that should be on top of your pedestal, is you. By doing this, you create an inferiority complex for someone else and give them superiority.

OTHER’S OPINIONS ARE MOMENTARY. They will always move on with their day and see what needs to be done. They do not care about you as much as you think. So, do not even try to give them the time of day.

BUILD BOUNDARIES. With others and yourself. Both are equally important because you value yourself enough not to do something you’ll regret.

Emotionally healthy people are quitters ✨

Emotionally healthy people are quitters. They make choices that align with their well being. Quitting a relationship, partnership or job that makes you unhappy is a sign of self awareness. If someone stays in something bad for too long, it's not because they're strong, but because they're afraid or have low self esteem. Being emotionally healthy means having awareness, setting boundaries, and knowing when it's time to move on from situations that no longer serve you. It's about prioritizing your mental and emotional health over sticking with something that's causing you harm or making you unhappy.

Emotionally healthy people also tend to have good communication skills. They express their feelings and needs calmly, openly and honestly. They also look for guidance and enlightenment because they understand that seeking help is a sign of strength not weakness.

They make decisions out of self love rather than attachment or fear. When you prioritize loving yourself, you make choices that align with your happiness and growth, rather than staying in situations out of comfort or insecurity.

Recognizing when you have an unhealthy attachment or that your feelings may not be conducive to your well being is important. It allows you to take a step back, evaluate the situation objectively, and make choices that are in line with your best interests.

Sometimes holding on can lead to more pain and struggle than necessary. It's a sign of emotional maturity to recognize when a situation is no longer good for you and to have the strength to let it go.

Things that are genuinely right for you should not cause you harm or emotional pain. Choosing pain is a sign of a lack of self love. Recognizing the need for change, prioritizing self love, and making healthier choices is how you begin to change your life.

Reframe your mindset from “this is hurting me because I love it” to “this is hurting me because I do not love me.”

Biggest form of self love…

Choosing yourselfೃ࿔*:･

• Set boundaries and stick with them, girl. Allowing someone to cross your boundaries and hurt you, THEN FORGIVING THEM?? No. That is like the ultimate act of anti-self love.

It can be good to give second chances and be forgiving, but you have to cut out toxic people if you want the best for yourself.

• Say ‘no’ without feeling bad. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON. Do what YOU want to do.

• Be caring and loving towards yourself. Never neglect or hurt yourself. You are the most important person in your life, seriously.

Be kind to others while still putting yourself first.

• Push yourself a bit! Try new things, set goals, and work to improve yourself.

Sometimes self love can mean getting out of your comfort zone and growing a bit. Find new ways to be your best self.

• Relax. Pushing yourself is great, but stretching yourself out too thin is no good. Sometimes you need to rest, relax, and pamper yourself, after all you deserve it.

I love to treat myself.

Go for a peaceful walk. Take a long bath/shower. Lay in bed. Make a warming beverage. Watch your fav show/movie/Youtuber/etc. Make yourself a cute snack or a nice filling meal. Do whatever makes you feel good. <333
