Joy - Blog Posts
The layers within life are limitless.
Allow the pain in your letdowns to guide you to the future.
There is so much light within the darkness—you just have to seek it out and allow it to shine through.
May your day be filled with a heart full of joy, allowing your spirit to radiate positivity and light.
Self-talk is your internal dialogue. It’s influenced by your subconscious mind, & it reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions, & ideas. How we talk to ourselves matters- how that is structured is often moulded by what we are told growing up, what we witness during our childhood & every perception the world offers us. There is not much we can do to prevent or change it but we can have awareness of how our influences have shaped our thought patterns & seeped into our self talk.
When you look in the mirror what do you see? Do you often say things like..."my nose is too big" "I look fat" or when we are faced with a challenge does a little voice in your head tell you "I can't do this, it's too hard."
These moments are mostly unconscious acts & we don't realise how that typical type of self talk can energetically flow into our days so fluidly. We all struggle with negative self-talk that creates self doubt. So you are not alone.
Developing a positive inner voice with awareness & practice helps you build self-esteem & confidence. Your words will make you feel good. When you feel good about yourself, the better your mood will be & your performance will greatly improve.
Positive self-talk enables you to be in control. When you say "I am made to do this", it trumps the negative self-talk that sabotages your day & distracts you as you work. With positive words, you are in control of the day.
Soon enough, you will find that with more positive self-talk, you will react to things differently & things that used to make you self doubt or angry will not exist anymore. When you are in control of your emotions , you are more likely to live a happy & fulfilled life.
One way we can re condition negative self-talk into a positive one is to create a mantra you can live by, & whenever you start listening to the negative voices, say it over & over again. Slowly, the negative voice will vanish.
.
Self love is one of the most challenging, painful & freeing paths to unravel. It takes time & is distinctively exhausting to peel back the layers of everything that has kept you from it. It's complete loss of your identity & who you think you are to arrive at the truth of unconditional love.
It's a quest that takes complete surrendering to finally face your pain head on, to realise & release phases of existing conditioned patterning that pull you further & further away from the truth of the power in your love. It's not being perfect, it's a choice to stop escaping or running from a relationship with yourself. To get lost time & time again to discover that wholeness & unity is weaved inside of you. The most vital bond in life is the connection with yourself & how that vibrates into your existence.
So we must find the courage within ourselves to live our truth.
Stand in it,
Speak it,
Unfold it,
Seek it,
Allow it,
Be with it &
Reveal it.

The arrival of summer
The scent of the sea,the sky,and the beach
And the smiles and joy of people

I was thinking about you.
It is not that I don't think about you every single day of my life since I first fell in love with you, however I was actually thinking about you. Analyzing my feelings about you and how my life changed when I was with you and since you left my side.
I was wondering if this feeling, this necessity of having you by my side, this joy I feel when I see your picture and the pain on my chest when I remember the moments by your side, if all this feeling is actually real. I was thinking and thinking and at some point overthinking about this feeling. Do I miss you? Do I ever even felt this deep passion about you? Or do I only LOVED how you made me feel. How you made me feel alive and in love with life and how you truly gave me a reason to leave bed in the morning.
Was all this love for you? Or was all this love for how you made me feel alive? I miss you, I miss talking to you, I miss seeing you everyday but over all, I truly think I miss having a passion on my life.
My beloved and most faithful subscribers gave me a bouquet of red roses. Thank you very much. I love you❤️🎁🌹🌹🌹 #Apleasantsurprise #theflowers #roses #redroses #bouquetofredroses #gift #present #giftfromsubscribers #internationalwomensday #March8 #happymoments #joy #unexpectedgift #broadcastsurprise #march8th #womensday #womensday2020 #spring #springtime #spring2020 #flower #flowers #flowerstagram #womensdayeveryday #events #event #ilovespring #beautiful #picoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gwOcoHb_5/?igshid=1sku5prgkn5d7

My take on an ideal Christmas.
So, I saw a lot of people blogging about their ideal Christmas. It, frankly, tempted me—though I'm quite aware this'll go unread. Just a place to share my thoughts.
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. You know, the guy that died for our sins and was initially condemned for it but later returned in full glory, embracing every nook and cranny of the world as a religious breakthrough. The main idea he propagated was basically that we care for everyone, spread love and abide by some basic principles—most important of which was to stay humble and kind.
Then, tell me, why do we feel the need to be extravagant on the very occasion that is supposed to celebrate the birth of someone who is the humblest of all?
The idea of people throwing small, domestic parties is quite fine—comforting and valuable, in fact. Cosy gatherings with your family and friends, all huddled up close with fulfilling and hearty but not necessarily extravagant food, a piping hot cup of coffee and a crackling fireplace, whilst helping out those in your locality with warm food and clothes—even the street pets; the perfect idea of Christmas. Being grateful for all you have but not indulging too much.
Usually, I'd never comment on these things—it's none of my business on how people splurge their money. But recently I've been seeing posts about people having extravagant, over-the-top and simply infuriatingly indulgent Christmases. Not just that—these are the same people who refuse to help someone in need. They'll come up with excuses like, "Oh, I'm not rich enough to help this person."; or worse, "Oh, I don't have anything to give to this poor stray.—and then they proceed to make themselves look like a kind person by sharing quotes like, "give back as much as you can." Very ironic, isn't it, considering that a sandwich for a starving homeless person is barely 3 dollars at a Walmart and a sausage even lesser for the poor shivering dog on the streets? Don't you realise that the time you spend preaching, you can use that time to actually help people in need and make a difference? Even the smallest difference counts, people! Make a change! Splurge less on things you already have and start splurging on kindness—no matter how less you can give away!
Anyway, this felt more like a rant than a take on an ideal Christmas. This post is just futile. People don't change. But I need to channel the angry humanitarian inside me, so—Here goes nothing.
UPDATE: I FUCKING FOUND IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"how's it go again" by timdrakesuperspy
https://archiveofourown.org/works/51354226/chapters/129765949
there's this one tim drake dimension travel fic where he gets yeeted to a dimension with a better batfam by mr. mxypltzk (how tf do you spell that) and bart and kon come with him. i remember specifically there's this one scene where tim is practicing in the batcave and the alternate batfam are just... appalled by the amount of force he's using. because they Don't Do That in their dimension.
AND I CAN'T FUCKING FIND IT. I CAN'T FIND THE FIC. IT BRINGS ME GREAT PAIN.
I wanna have a place like this when I get old. A dreamy, verdant, rustic, earthy place like this.
New Face
There's this new face I see in mirror
It has no more tiers or fears in the eyes
No more frown that made me drown
There's a new face in town
Who's could it be
If I looked in the mirror to see
There is a change in me
There is now sun in my eyes that shine
I'm doing just fine
This is a new sign
A new start
There is no more broken heart
It is filled
All my worries have been killed
"I'm not looking back when I've only just began."
The book said it's open to interpretation, so i painted fat and thin lines, to make a piano keys ☺ Beware the piano sheet music is completely random so it probably sounds horrible. I should have dra the moonlight sonata or something else, that would have been way cooler 😎 oh well, can't remember everything
I made holes in my journal 😥 so i'll just call them stars ✨ I actually just sat around for awhile before I grabbed a shimmering nailpolish and put that around the edges of the holes I had made. I can do anything with this journal right?! So i'll use anything I want!! 😄
