Bring the best part of you

If you want your life to have true value,

bring a gift to the world.

Bring your love, not your fear.

Bring your compassion, not your hatred.

Bring your joy, not your suffering.

Bring your optimism, not your doubt.

Bring your beautiful, already free, smiling presence.

Bring your open loving heart so that all beings everywhere will feel your goodness, and when you pass they too will smile and share their joy.

Some things are better left sleeping while other things will nourish the universe.

If you want your life to have value, bring the best part of you to the world ..

Parasitic Narcissist

You didn’t lose the love of your life, you lost a parasite that was draining your life.

Narcissists are not soulmates; they are predators in disguise, and understanding this is crucial to your healing.

The person you see at the end of the relationship is who they really are.

Their true nature was hidden behind a facade of charm, charisma, and manipulation.

You were lured with false promises, false emotions and a convincing act.

Though underneath it all, they were feeding off your emotional energy, shattering your self-esteem, and eroding your sense of self.

What you experienced wasn’t love; it was a toxic cycle of abuse where every day felt like a battle for survival.

Their gaslighting, emotional blackmail, and their constant criticism were not signs of affection; they were tools of control and domination.

Their infidelity, deceit, and lack of empathy were not simple mistakes; they were deliberate actions to exploit your vulnerabilities.

You didn’t lose a loved one, you escaped a toxic nightmare.

You broke free from a cycle of abuse, and that takes incredible courage, strength and resilience. Narcissists are incapable of genuine love; they only imitate it to get what they want.

To heal, you must accept the truth: you weren’t loved, you were used.

You were a source of supply, a means to an end, and a pawn in your manipulative game.

Although now, you are free to rediscover yourself, embrace true love, and live a life filled with purpose, joy, and authenticity.

You deserve real love, genuine connection and healthy relationships.

You deserve to be seen, heard and understood. You deserve to be valued, respected and appreciated. Never Settling For Anything Less.

You are worthy of love, and it will find you when you least expect it 💜

Hearts know how to heal💯❤️

“Your heart will fix itself. It’s your mind you need to worry about. Your mind where you locked the memories, your mind where you have kept pieces of the ones that hurt you, that still cut through you like shards of glass. Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind that it has to let go … because your heart already knows how to heal.”

– Nikita Gill

About the Painting:

Circe, an enchantress, is a figure from Greek mythology, who appears in Homer’s Odyssey. This painting depicts a scene not from the Odyssey, though, but from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Here, a jealous Circe casts a magic potion into the well where Scylla, her rival in love, will bathe.

Overwhelming Femininity

“It’s just that you’re not that feminine.”

I beg to differ.

I’m feminine like a thunderstorm.

Feminine like the glint of a falcon talon.

Feminine like an ancient redwood.

Feminine like the orange glow of a grizzly bear in the sunset.

Feminine like a wolf on the hunt.

Feminine like decaying bones.

Feminine like the eye of an old whale.

Feminine like a roaring river.

Feminine like a sheer cliff overlooking a forest.

Feminine like a wildfire.

Feminine like a desert wind.

Feminine like a battle cry.

And yes.

Within my stones and bark and fur and fierce slit irises… I am as soft and enveloping as any woman who’s blood ever beat red.

This is the Sovereigness.

I am her.

We are her.

We are an age of woman who has come in, representing the medicine of the Wilds.

We are not built to actualize your sense of masculinity through your traditional idea of femininity.

We are built to bring in the voice of our Mother.

Which is why Earth herself screams in our veins.

So, if what you really mean is,

“Your femininity is overwhelming”,

Then I understand.

It is to me, too.

Alienated child & rejection

An alienated child feels autonomous because their aligned parent’s psychological tactics are often subtle. The alienating parent may use ‘leading questions’ such as ‘Are you sure you want to be with them for such a long time away from home?’ They can use passive-aggressive language such as, ‘It’s a shame they make you feel so angry when they behave as they do, and you’re so good about it.’ It can seem caring and concerned rather than coercive and controlling. The child also develops a strong sense of loyalty and alignment with the alienating parent due to the fear of losing their love, approval, or the stability of the family unit. They can become ‘trauma bonded’ in an emotionally abusive relationship, often due to intermittent reinforcement, manipulation and a cycle of reward and punishment. They may feel autonomous because they’ve internalised the beliefs and narratives of the alienating parent. Often they justify their actions and maintain a positive self-image by convincing themselves that their rejection of the targeted parent is valid. Accepting the reality that the alienating parent acted out of selfish motives and not in the child’s best interests can be extremely distressing and conflicting. It may require them to confront the fact that they were manipulated and used as a pawn in the alienating parent’s agenda. This can be psychologically overwhelming. They can feel incredibly betrayed, sad, guilty, and ashamed, but they can overcome this. They can break free and truly become autonomous when they accept that they were not previously. It is hard to accept, but the key to their liberation and healing.

As time goes by

As time goes by,

You will loosen your grip on that rock,

The one you always thought was home,

And you will realise that home is not a place,

It’s a state of mind.

Let it go.

As time goes by,

You will learn to see yourself more clearly,

The girl who was always too much of one thing,

And too little of another, was actually

Everything she needed to be.

Let her out.

As time goes by,

You will let the simple things become the big,

And you will allow the big things to become the simple,

And that readjustment will be,

The day you really start to live,

Let it be.

As time goes by,

You will be forced to say goodbye many times,

And your soft little heart will shatter but,

It will still beat and that will bring you,

All the purpose you need.

Let it beat.

As time goes by,

You will stop choosing wealth over peace,

You will stop choosing money over time,

And you will see that the treasures you need,

Are in the smiles and the laughter.

Let them in.

As time goes by,

The moments you remember when your life flashes past,

Are never the awful memories my friend, it’s the joy,

The summer nights, the lazy days with loved ones,

The midnight chats and the morning hugs,

Let them happen.

Let them all happen.~

Discernment

‘Perhaps you will fall in love with many people over the course of your life, but you cannot marry them all.

Some are personality infatuations.

Some represent real connections that could not be brought into being because the people were not ready or mature enough to participate effectively together.

In the moment, you will not know what is what.

So be careful about letting yourself become so infatuated with anyone.

Do not want and try to be in love.

That is blind and foolish.

There are many people who could excite the deeper passions of the heart with whom you could never function together.

You can be in love with someone whose values are so different from yours that you could not stand to be together beyond the initial romantic phase.

You will constantly be arguing, constantly in friction, constantly disagreeing, constantly maladapting to each other.

People fall in love and get married without any idea of what they are doing in their lives or where they are going.

They just assume if you are in love you should be married.

It is a great mistake.

You might feel spontaneous love for someone, but do not let yourself go overboard with that.

In relationship, you are choosing your primary influence.

You are assigning the person to be your chief influence, your chief advisor.

It is a practical arrangement, not just an emotional one.

Do not think if you work hard enough, if you love enough, you will make it all work.

This is foolishness.

You will have to work at relationship, certainly, to a degree.

You will have to adapt, certainly, to a degree.

You will have to relinquish some of your personal freedoms and recklessness to be in a real relationship, of course.

You will have to be attentive.

You will have to be honest.

You will have to be engaged.

But people take this to mean that they can make a relationship work with someone whom they want for themselves, and this is a cruel error.

To be swept along by impressions and infatuations, to allow yourself to be seduced by others, to be overtaken by beauty, wealth or charm is such a form of self-betrayal.

It is such a dangerous involvement.

It has such profoundly difficult and unfortunate consequences.

You have to be very careful here.

Who you associate with and how you associate with them has all the bearing for your life and for the kind of life you will have and the opportunities you will have.’
