~ Often, I Say Things Because It Gets Me To Belong In A Circle Of People I Like. Often, Those Things
~ Often, I say things because it gets me to belong in a circle of people I like. Often, those things are quite contrary to my own truths, to my values. . Saying what you really want to say isn’t about being loud, but speaking clearly of what aligns with you. . For. e.g. “Hey, I know it’s cool to talk dirty with your friends, but I do not like to. For me, sex is sacred and I don’t want to condition my mind to downplay it.”
Or, “Hey, I know gossiping is fun, but it riles up a lot of negative emotions in me for someone, which I’d rather not feed.” . I am guessing we all talk of things we don’t whole-heartedly believe in sometimes, just to feel like we’re a part of people’s lives. But saying the things you really want to say is insanely powerful. It drops you back into your body, mind and heart thoroughly and when you say words which directly align with your energy, you feel beautifully grounded in who you really are. ~🌼

~ Do you value the love you so willingly give? ~ . Our generation glorifies givers. Being a hardcore one myself, I think that while the act of giving is beautiful, it has to be valued. . Do I value my giving? Do I value the quality of love I am offering? Or do I pour it in people, places, things without being aware of its worth, its sanctity? . We will always meet people who aren't ready to receive what we have to give. At times like these, if we truly value our giving, we will learn to redirect that love to a vessel, a heart, that's more ready to hold it, cherish it and nourish it. . Giving is beautiful, giving is a gift. May we learn to deeply value it and tax it up a bit.

“It is okay if you are slowly becoming the person you want to be. Real growth takes time. The things that stick and the things that stay are often the things we put together gradually, with heart and soul and effort. What arrives too fast often leaves that quickly, too. What arrives slowly is often what we savor most, because it is what we placed all of our love into, it's what we made space in our lives to hold. Please do not think you are falling behind just because your growth is not happening as fast as you thought it might. Seasons don't turn overnight, but always arrive just in time.” - Brianna Weist
A Japanese Vlog that Reminded Me of the Beauty of Life...
I discovered a YouTube video from the creator Takasu Tile named ‘[Country Life in Japan] An Amazing Trip to Kyoto with My Best Friend in the Fall’.
It was peaceful, lovely, and reminded me of all the beautiful little things life offers.

Heartwork - 10.06.2020
I Set Small Goals that Align with My Heart
Sometime at the start of this year, I realized I want to set small goals that feel true to myself rather than set 'big' goals because they are 'necessary to get somewhere in life'.
My goals may be very simple, and they may probably be considered underwhelming, but they should align with the way my heart wants to feel.
Whatever I decide upon as the direction for my life, my work, and my relationships, it should make me feel good. The goals I make should feel fun, exciting, and challenging but not completely far-fetched.
I took a small but big step today and set goals that make my heart smile.
