Letting me Go

You chose to let me go,

Ignoring my needs, disregarding my soul.

Your actions spoke louder than words,

Leaving me no choice but to distance and heal.

Don’t come crawling back,

With regretful tears and sorrowful sighs.

You can’t miss what you didn’t value,

What you carelessly discarded, like a fading light.

You’re not entitled to my presence,

After tearing our connection, leaving only silence.

You can’t long for what you broke,

What you shattered, leaving my heart to ache.

Your choices had consequences,

Leaving me no option but to move on.

I won’t be your convenience,

Your emotional crutch, your safety net gone.

Respect my boundaries,

Let me heal without your guilt.

You had your chance,

But chose to let me go, into the night.

I’m moving forward,

Leaving the past, where you’ll remain.

Memories fade,

And I won’t look back.

I’ve found my strength,

My voice, my way.

You’re just a memory,

Fading away.

Closure is mine,

This is goodbye.

A chapter closed,

A new life to apply.

“Just by being yourself,

That’s how you are of service to others,

whether you know it or not.

Just walking down the street being yourself, smiling, radiating happiness

and fulfillment.

How do you know that some other person walking down the street won’t just observe you and go, ‘That person makes me feel so much better. Today I was having a lousy day but now, seeing that person smile,

they’ve changed my day.’ And you never even meet that person.

“How do you know you’re not being of service just by being yourself?

Don’t think it has to look a certain way. Don’t think you even have to know about it. You are being your service when you are YOU because being YOU is your purpose in life. And when you are being YOU, you have no idea how many other people you’re affecting. You may never know.

“But you do know you are doing what you need to do to be YOU. That’s the only way you can be of service, just by being you.

If you’re someone else, how can you be of service to anyone? Because you’re not there for them to find. So trust the unfoldment of your path and know that every step along the way when You are Being Authentically YOU, You are Being of Service, whether you know it or not.”

I am worthy

Sometimes, you have to convince yourself of how worthy you are. Sometimes, you have to cheer yourself up, especially when no one is there for you. You have to be brave alone. You have to remind yourself that you are strong, worthy, and beautiful.

Sometimes, you have to constantly remind yourself about the things you deserve in order to grow as a person. Remind yourself that you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be treated well, and you deserve the things you’ve been wishing for.

Compliment yourself today. Be proud of your progress. Be proud of being a strong person. Sometimes, you just have to look in the mirror and be proud of the person you have become. You did well; always remember that. Sometimes, you just have to look in the mirror and say, “I am worthy.”

Fake Friends / Keep your circle small

KEEP YOUR CIRCLE SMALL

A Short Valuable Story

A young girl asked an elderly woman:

“Do I really need friends in life?”

The elderly woman responded:

“Yes. Life is truly very rough. There should be someone by your side with whom you can talk for hours without feeling that they would judge you; on whose shoulders you can cry, one who will give you emotional support. When no one will be there for you, they should be there. One who should help you share the good times and overcome the difficult ones.”

The young girl asked:

“Is it true that a fake friend is more dangerous than an enemy?”

The elderly woman responded:

“Yes. It’s because you know who your enemy is and you’re not going to let them get close to you. But a false friend is pretending while getting your trust. They find out your vulnerabilities, your secrets and your dreams. They know which button to press and how to stab you in the back.”

The young girl asked:

“How do I avoid being surrounded by fake friends?”

The elderly woman paused for a short moment, then asked,

“Between a small garden and a forest, which one has more snakes and scorpions?”

The young girl responded:

“The forest, sure!”

The elderly woman smiled, and then said:

“Good! When you keep your circle of friends small like a small garden, the less snakes and scorpions you have to worry about, even rats. The fewer people you hang out with, the fewer problems you have to deal with. When I was young, I had a very big group of friends. But as I grew old and wise with experience, my circle of friends became smaller. I realized that quality outweighs quantity when it comes to friendship. Don’t fool yourself by holding onto the illusion that everyone is your friend. You may have numerous acquaintances, but real friends will always be just a few people you love and trust. The best way to prevent yourself from falling into the fake friend trap is by being more mindful about the size of your circle.”

Be both

“You can be both soft and intense. Both vulnerable and strong. Both traditional and rebellious. Both romantic and realistic. Both feminine and oceanic yet filled with slow burning fire. There is possibility inside of paradox. There is a universe of different perceptions.”

Work Completed

I pray I’ve done my work so, that when I’ve gone from here, in all the turmoil through the wreckage and rumble, when someone finds themselves digging through the ruins, they’ll find me. Somewhere in that wreckage, they’ll find something they can use, that I left behind. And if I’ve done that, then I’ve accomplished something in life.

Calmness

The day you manage to stay calm in front of whoever provokes you, when your silence is the right answer, the day you manage to stay calm in the face of the storm.

In the face of noise and foolish words, then you will have achieved the greatest of your successes, to dominate yourself.

It is no longer about winning or losing, being better or worse, having or not having the coveted reason,

it is not even about triumphing over others, it is about the fact that,

finally, you have reached the top of a very high mountain, and it is to conquer you, prioritize yourself and put your mental health first,

your emotional intelligence.

Observe and look around you, don’t judge anymore, just observe the unhappiness, the lack of self-esteem, the burdens and pains that others must carry to live tending other people’s lives, to be aware of the lives of others.

The more you love yourself, the less you will care about the projection in someone else’s eye,

the more you love yourself; you will focus on improving yourself and only you.

Critical Point

“We are at a critical point. We have a very narrow window of opportunity to get it right, and to get it right, we first have to imagine a new world, story by story. Historically human beings use stories to explore our place in the world: we tell stories about it. Sometimes they’re scientific stories. Sometimes they’re philosophical stories. Sometimes they’re songs or movies. Sometimes they’re fables or morality tales. We need to tell new stories to describe who we are in relation to the land, to honor what’s been lost, to help us understand our kinships, to affirm what we care about, to explore the difference between right and wrong, moral and immoral.”

Wounds : Healing the past

“Until you heal the WOUNDS of your past, you will continue to bleed.

You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life.

You must find the strength to open the wounds,

stick your hands inside,

pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them.”

Happiness

One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls.

Happiness is not finding success by a certain time, but finding something you love so much time itself seems to disappear.

Happiness is not thinking you have earned the world’s approval, but waking up each day and feeling so at peace within your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, unconcerned with how you are perceived.

Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything.

Happiness is knowing you did what you could with what you were given.

Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us of the light of day is always there, if we slow down enough to notice!
