Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates:

Is it true?

Is it necessary?

Is it kind?

You don't have to be positive all the time. It's perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated. scared and anxious, having feelings doesn't make you a negative person. It makes you human.

“There is a deep desire in everyone to commit suicide for the simple reason, that life seems to be meaningless. People go on living, not because they love life, they go on living just because they are afraid to commit suicide. There is a desire to; and in many ways they do commit suicide. Monks and nuns have committed psychological suicide, they have renounced life. And these suicidal people have dominated humanity for centuries. They have condemned everything that is beautiful. They have praised something imaginary and they have condemned the real; the real is mundane and the imaginary is sacred. My whole effort here is to help you see that the real is sacred, that this very world is sacred, that this very life is divine. But the way to see it is first to enquire within. Unless you start feeling the source of light within yourself, you will not be able to see that light anywhere else. First it has to be experienced within one’s own being, then it is found everywhere. Then the whole existence becomes so full of light, so full of joy, so full of meaning and poetry, that each moment one feels grateful for all that god has given, for all that he goes on giving. Sannyas is simply a decision to turn in, to look in. The most primary thing is to find your own center. Once it is found, once you are centered, once you are bathed in your own light you have a different vision, a different perspective, and the whole of life becomes golden. Then even dust is divine. Then life is so rich, so abundantly rich that one can only feel a tremendous gratitude towards existence. That gratitude becomes prayer. Before that, all prayer is false.”

I am an overly emotional, unemotional, clingy but distant, private person who likes to overshare at any moment and I am still trying to figure out how that works

Basically, consciousness is separate from our bodies, but it does need a body in order to express itself. If consciousness is something that is separate from the physical, and can survive without it, then already it proves that we exist after death.

 
I can’t handle this,” he told her. But something in his expression screamed: “I can’t handle you.” And she thought then, that perhaps all relationships were just a case of who gave up first. And her pride couldn’t decide which was worse: giving up when you had promised them not to, or waking up to find that they had given up on you.”
 
 
 

"Science looks at the world concretely and asks: what is it? What does it do? What can I do with it. 

Philosophers ask different questions that are not about things, but about reasoning and valuing. Why is there anything instead of nothing? What does life mean? What is the nature of the good? And so on and so forth. These questions are for most of us  much more important yet they do not yield to "experiments in the laboratory." -Bette Manter

Sometimes self care isn't always lush bath bombs and twenty dollar face masks. sometimes, it's going to bed at eight pm or letting go of a bad friend. it's forgiving yourself for not meeting your impossible standards & understanding you are worth it. self care isn't always luxury, but a mean for survival.

Sometimes you just have to be done. Not mad, not upset.

Just done.

 

Do not judge my intelligence by your ability to understand me.

“Broken hearts do the most writing.”
Want to know what is truly blocking love, success, etc? 
Observe your reactions when you are hurt, angry, annoyed, frustrated. It usually is better observed around family. This will give you an insight to what you are carrying energetically. Are you withdrawn, vengeful, manipulative, apathetic when you are hurt? Can you change your state easily or do you need something or someone outside of you? Are you willing to apologize? All your old patterning and energies lay here and it is an opportunity for you to become aware or these and respond from a place of empathy, compassion and love. This is re wire your brain and change your bio- chemistry.

em/ pathy      noun

the ability to step into the shoes of another person, aiming to understand their feelings and perspectives, and to use that understanding to guide our actions

 

The Four Agreements of the Toltec

1. Be impeccable with your word. 

 Speak with integrity. Say only what

 you mean. Avoid using the Word to

  speak against yourself or to gossip          

  about others. Use the power of your

  Word in the direction of truth and

  Love.      

2. Don't take anything personally. 

   Nothing others do is because of you. 

   What others say and do is a

    projection of their own reality, 

    Their own dream. When u are

    immune to the opinion and actions

    Of others, you won't be the victim

    of needless suffering. 

3. Don't make assumptions. 

   Find the courage to ask questions

   and to express what u really want.

   Communicate with others as clearly

   as u can to avoid misunderstanding, 

   sadness and drama. With just this

   one agreement you can completely

   transform your life. 

4. Always do your best. 

   Your best is going to change from

    moment to moment; it will be

   different when u are healthy as

   opposed to sick. Under any

   circumstance, simply do your best,

   and u will avoid self judgement, self

   abuse and regret.

Christopher Columbus Day-

There are plenty of other reasons we can have a day off of school and or work, but to celebrate this country’s racist, enslaving, thieving, genocidal, and rape-filled history goes against everything that we have been trying to change. It is so sad that the most humanity can do now days is “pray” when a terrorist shoots at group of 20,000 innocent humans. It is so sad that all humanity can do is create memes about our president rather than trying to make a authentic attempt at impeaching him. And it is so sad that 600 years later, humanity continues to celebrate the American Indian Holocaust that killed more human beings than any genocide in history, We don't celebrate the Jewish Holocaust, why do we celebrate this one?

 

Most of the time, your first love isn't the first person you give your heart to- it's the first one who breaks it."

Somewhere between what she survived, and who she was becoming, was exactly where she was meant to be. She was starting to love the journey. And find the comfort in the quiet corners of her wildest dreams. They say people don't change... well, she wasn't always this way. Even if she didn't change the entire world, she would change her part of it. And she would affect the people she shared it with. A butterfly whose wings have been touched, can indeed still fly. Whether something was meant to be, or meant to leave, didn't matter as much anymore. She would soak up the sun, kiss the breeze and she would fly regardless.

 

"The right person at the wrong time” doesn’t exist when you think about her and the impact she has had on your life.

She’s the girl who makes you believe in things such as fate and soul mates even. She makes you believe in something bigger than yourself.

The thing she makes you believe in is called love.

Her love is the perfectly imperfect embodiment of the reason why the tide always returns to kiss the shore. Or the reason why the moon is illuminated time after time in the darkness by the sun. They never give up on each other no matter how their paths are separated, they’ll always end up back together, even after all the storms that rage through the skies and the seas.

She made me believe our souls were connected before they fell down to Earth as shooting stars.
That is why there is a gravitational pull, pulling me in her direction.
To throw her away, dismissing her as a wrong time, would be one of your greatest mistakes.

She is a timeless soul because she will live forever within you. Prepare for a burning soul within her presence because you’ll feel her fiercely even after she is long gone.

Sometimes we give love to the wrong person, and we sit there and wonder, "How could I have given love to that person? They don't even deserve it." Or, "What a waste of time!" But the thing is, you shouldn't think about it that way, you should think of the fact that you were able to give love, because if you are able to give it, that means you have it inside of you,  And it's the same thing with everything else. It's the same thing with kindness, with honesty, with your ability to care about people. That shows who you are. Don't focus on the way that people abuse that. Don't focus on the way that people react to that. Focus on the fact that you have it within you. It makes you a beautiful person, a beautiful human being. So, before you sit there and say, "I wish I didn't give love", "I wish I didn't give kindness", "I wish I wasn't honest", be careful what you're wishing for.

"We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit perfectly together. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don't know how that happened."
