🌠Can’t pigeon hole people. I can hold ten thousand identities and feelings at once.
Today I was overwhelmed with the world and my place in it. it all seemed too big and confusing. We live in such heated times where our identities are put on trial. it’s hard to embrace who you are when you are constantly confronting yourself. There seems to be little comfort or sense in any of it.
Then in this online world I’m flooded with every bit if information possible and it keep putting my brain in overdrive. I seem to be loosing myself in it.
But then again Buddism comes through with its view of the self. Fluid and forever changing. Their is no defined or definite self we are our environments and everything we have ever learned and been a part of. This lack of constant on my being seems to calm the confusion on who I am or who I am supposed to be. I am fluid and forever changing.
All I ask of myself is to embrace this, open myself up to this world and explore whatever I can.

⭐To yourself, to others etc. may be obvious but reframes how I view my relationship with literally every single person. this thought announced itself to me very loudly and had to be shared.

🗺By far one of the most transformative skills I’ve learned and am learning. Too often we‘re trying persuade someone to be more like us, or we’re hiding our true feelings to fit in with someone else, but not everything in life requires compromise or consensus. Sometimes you can simply say, “Oh, you want something different? I hope you enjoy that! I’m going to do something else over here.”
You can be different, have different perspectives, make different choices, and it doesn’t mean you can’t be friends, lovers, or partners. It just means you’re individuals!
Only by finding the borders of our differences is intimacy truly possible. Then I know where I begin and you end. Then our compatibility isn’t based on sameness but the skillfulness by which we can honor each other’s unique selves.
