I don’t pay much attention

The times when I start thinking about my body too much, I remember that I don’t really pay attention to other peoples bodies. It really doesn’t register to me. I don’t judge how other people look. Rather, I judge how I get along with them and the energy they give off. I truly believe that everyone has beauty. I take care of my body’s needs. I have had to evolve as I have grown. I try to eat food that feels good and keep myself strong. I think that feeling strong is important to me. I wear clothes that feel good on my body and spend very little time in front of the mirror. I focus more on who I am as a person. Like the Roald Dahl picture attached, I think our inside shines outward. I’ve met “beautiful“ people who were ugly af. My body has changed in a bunch of different ways since having my children. There’s always pressure to try to look how you did before having kids, but I think that is ridiculous. Every single thing about me has changed, why wouldn’t I want my body to reflect that growth as well? It is helpful for me to think about all the people that I have loved in my life. Their stunning beauty in my eyes is not because they are perfect, but because of my love for them. I wouldn’t want them any other way then exactly who they are.

You don’t need a reason to feel happiness or at least feel at peace

Today, I kept feeling a sense of excitement and happiness, and I was constantly trying to belittle these feelings because I’m so used to anxiety that I couldn’t understand why I felt like this even though I have so many things that are stressing me out at the moment in my life, I have responsibilities and deadlines and people that I have to respond to. You know what? How ungrateful of me to discard these emotions just because I, on the surface, don’t have a reason to feel them. I don’t need always a reason to feel how I feel. I think I just learned that I can allow myself to simply acknowledge emotions as they are. I’m trained to dig deeper when it comes to pain, to understand myself more, and to understand how I can better myself. I was never trained to just feel happiness and let myself embrace it. I can feel a cycle breaking and it’s so freeing, I can feel that I’m growing and evolving. And I’m grateful. So please, know that you don’t need a reason to be happy, you don’t have to justify to yourself every single good feeling that comes up.

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A LOT LATELY

ephemeral. liquid, even. an infinite thread. (i know that’s three words/phrases sorry). but to me this idea is present as a unifying force in fleeting moments i’ve always had the freedom growing up to explore religion on my own terms, and i always felt like there was some uniting force in the makeup of our souls, even if it didn’t mirror the masculinized, christian God. i feel connected to this force whenever i learn about people in history and realize they werent much different than us in the modern day. we just had different cultural contexts. every time the season changes. when you’re with someone you really care about and even silence suffices. in the same vein, making friends. like that feeling when you meet someone and connect and know you want them to be in your lives for a while. fate is God to me. as is chance encounters. when i take walks in nature and i can hear the river and the trees and the birds calling all at once. even when you’re in line at a store and you make brief small talk or have a connection with a stranger. especially when you get a little laugh or smile out of it. overall, when i feel really connected with humanity and the earth as a whole. i feel like all organized and not-so-organized religion stems from the same place in our hearts and souls (despite these messages sometimes becoming warped and misused).

ESTATE SALES

I love them- kind of like a window into someone’s life. Especially when the people are much older and their houses are stamped with the time period. I was in one today that was insanely retro- straight out of the 70s but then I found 2 wheelchairs next to each other- I got upset and had to leave
