The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you, the Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting.

My heart hurts. How can I be with someone who doesn't care about my feelings? Nor someone who also doesn't care about not having me in their life?
Sometimes I think you don't even realize that the things you say to me, hurt me deeply and it causes me to question anything and everything you feel about me. It's like I don't know, should I leave because it's best for you? Sometimes it's hard to know if you want me in your life. I know you're a good guy and you do love me but I'm just not sure if you truly want me to be your "one." Writing this makes me extremely sad. I realize how in love with you I am. Like still in the beautiful moment and feeling of love. Do you feel the same? I can't remember the last time we said I love you to each other in a passionate and meaningful way. I mean, it is always meaningful when we say it but mostly like going through the motions like muscle memory. Fuck I want to cry and tell you all of this.
Have you ever been in a situation where you almost felt as though the universe was testing you? If so, how did you handle it? My recent bad moods have attracted some annoying situations into my life where I know the only way to make them either go away or take a positive turn is by forcing myself to be happy. It's as though the universe is saying, "This is happening because I want you to get happy and stay happy once and for all. Realize that this is all happening to teach you."
The universe is never testing you. It’s not trying to teach you anything as much as it is trying to remind you of who you are. You are pure positive energy. You are love beyond measure and you are powerful.
Meditation will help you connect to the part of you that knows this but again, it’s not a test or a lesson. What you’re describing is LOA just being LOA. It’s mirroring back to you what you’re sending out to it. Plain and simple. It does this all day every day for all of us. It’s just how it works.
NOTE: You cannot FORCE yourself to be happy. You really can’t truly force yourself to be anything. So you need to find ways to truly be happy and then your world will change.
The Universe doesn’t hear what you say it hears what you mean, so you can fake being happy all day long, but you can’t fool the Universe, it will mirror back to you who you really are all day long.
Most of the time when we are constantly in a bad mood it’s because we just keep replaying the shit that made us mad in the first place. We are rarely mad at what is in our face at this moment, instead we are mad at the shit we’re thinking about over and over in our head.
I’ve learned (the hard way) that we’ll stay mad until we’re sick of it. Then when we’re truly sick of feeling like shit, it’s pretty easy for us to change.
When you’ve had enough, you’ll put on your ‘don’t give a fuck’ attitude and you’ll refuse to be concerned what others think, you’ll refuse to think crap that makes you feel crappy. You’ll refuse to hang around people that want to keep talking about the same crap all day long. You’ll refuse to listen to things that irritate you.
When you refuse to feel like crap, life will go out of it’s way to send you people, places and things that allow you feel awesome, allow you feel appreciated and loved.
The bad news is that you are in control of your situation. The good news is that you are in control of your situation.
So feeling better isn’t a matter of forcing yourself to be happy, it’s about deliberately choosing the thoughts you think. It’s about deliberately choosing what you focus on. It’s about deliberately choosing who you hang around and what you talk about and deliberately choosing all those things that make you feel a little bit better than you do now, and then a little bit better again, etc…
You’re deliberately choosing all those things now, but you’re choosing them in such a manner that makes you feel like crap. Feeling better is a matter of deliberately choosing all those things in a manner that allows you to feel better.
Your choice. Your life.
You’re obviously ready for this change, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Know I love you dearly, I’ve been where you are and I know you can do this!
Now go find something funny on youtube to watch that makes you laugh. Listen to music that makes you want to dance. In order to get a different result, you MUST think a different thought.

Give love to every aspect of your being. To people, animals, nature, your food, and to everything that encompasses you without anyone’s approval. Let the force of life be your mentor. Take notice of how it embraces you regardless of who you are, and what you’re going through. From your mistakes to achievements, it loves every bit of your experiences. When you are given life, you are truly appreciated and loved.

We must realize that spiritual enlightenment does not correlate with being good nor bad… it is simply awareness of the deepest aspects of yourself and the unknown. I’ve met demons who were more spiritually aware than some of the angels who walked on earth. It’s about choosing which side of the karmic knot you want to get entangled into.

Read the transcripts of Hitler’s early speeches and then listen to Trump’s speeches, as well as his initial reactions to finding out that he is inspiring white racists to assault brown-skinned immigrants. There are differences in historically specific circumstances, of course, but they are appealing to common themes and fears. They are also using similar mechanisms for rhetorically constructing who is the dangerous and corrupting “problem” that needs to be “solved” (even if their targets differ). Trump is a fascist, even if only a fascist out of electoral convenience.

It is sometimes helpful to think about social and political issues as if it is not just us humans who are talking and interacting with each other, but rather, the Discourses we represent and enact, and for which we are ‘carriers.’ The Discourses we enact existed before each of us came on the scene and most of them will exist long after we have left the scene. Discourses, through our words and deeds, carry on conversations with each other through history, and, in doing so, form human history. Think, for instance, of the long-running and ever-changing ‘conversation’ in the U.S. and Canada between the Discourses of ‘being an Indian’ and ‘being an Anglo’ or of the different, but equally long-running ‘conversation’ in New Zealand between ‘being a Maori’ and ‘being an Anglo’ (or, for that matter, think of the long-running conversation between ‘being a British Anglo’ and ‘being an American Anglo’). Think of the long-running and ever-changing ‘conversation’ between creationists and biologists. Think of the long-running and ever-changing ‘conversation’ in Los Angeles between African-American teenage gang members and the L.A. police. Intriguingly, we humans are very often unaware of the history of these conversations, and thus, in a deep sense, not fully aware of what we mean when we act and talk.

Self care is whatever keeps you alive. This can mean different things to different people at different stages in their lives, because of different needs and priorities either short or long term.
Paying your bills and budgeting keeps you alive. Buying groceries keeps you alive. Eating healthy food keeps you alive. Exercising keeps you alive. Proper sleep hygiene keeps you alive. All of these are true.
Being kind to yourself keeps you alive. Listening to your favorite music keeps you alive. Staying in bed when you’re exhausted keeps you alive. Watching netflix all day when you’re exhausted instead of doing chores or hygiene keeps you alive. All of these are true, too.
They’re not mutually exclusive. All of these are important, but when you are disabled you often do not have the energy or brainpower to do all of them. Some days you need to triage one task for the sake of another. And that’s your business and your business alone - no one else can see the inside of your head, only you know what is best for yourself and what you most need, in any given moment, to stay alive.
You have a right to make those decisions for yourself without being shamed. You have a right to live your life at your own pace, on your own terms, to the extent of your energy and abilities. All you can do is your best, and some days that will look different from others, and that’s okay, it’s not a static thing. Do what you need to do, one day at a time, to take care of yourself how you best see fit.
You don’t deserve to feel shame for struggling. You are valid. You are doing your best. You deserve to have your right to autonomy and your choices respected.
Do this four times repeatedly and you’ll be out. But how does it work? There’s some real brain science behind it.
We’re trying this tonight!
It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.
I am living for the day when I find someone who will love me even when I am sad. Even when depression leaves scars on more than just my skin. Even when anxiety makes me ugly. Even when I don’t want to be loved. And I don’t buy into the bullshit that you can’t love someone until you love yourself first because my chest is burning with a passion for a familiar stranger that I haven’t yet met. And I have nothing but love to give to the person who sees something in me worth loving. Because a blind man still wants to know what the world looks like. Still wants to believe in what he cannot see. And I am living for the day when they find me. And they will tell me that they love me without exceptions and I will believe them. And I will believe that there is something in me worth loving. Even if I can’t see it.

“What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.” ~ #WaltWhitman // my tribe. ♡ #woofnchirp #muktibutt
the signs as people i’ve known
aries: passionate verging on obsessive. defensive of both themselves and the people they love. few layers; what you see is more or less what you get. good-hearted, intelligent. always up for a challenge, but becomes stressed out very easily and handles stress very poorly. even when they’re tired, they somehow seem so alert and two steps ahead of you. responsible. they prefer to lead and lead very well. interesting, competitive, loyal. although they like to be correct and love to prove people wrong, more than anything they just want someone to listen and expand on their point, not disagree with it. romantic but they like to pretend that they aren’t. they seek instant gratification and hate doing things that they’re not naturally great at (but they’re naturally great at a lot). can be very self-absorbed, but it’s not conscious. so loving and so lovely. the yang to my yin, the storm to my calm. a friend who completes me.
taurus: extremely nice, and they never want to hurt anybody’s feelings, so they tend to skirt around the truth or omit their opinion. truly, genuinely kind, the sort of person you hope will always stay in your life, the sort of person you feel like you really need. dependable, hardworking, stable. they have been through a lot, but looking at them, you wouldn’t know it. will ultimately put themselves before you (which is a good thing), but is always there for you when they can be. very realistic; they know what they can achieve and expect themselves to do so. private to a fault, and doesn’t usually express their feelings. there is something about their soul that makes me smile whenever i think of them. one of the people i love most in this world. my equal, the friend who i hope knows how much i love them.
gemini: endlessly charming, supportive, and brave. always wants to make everyone happy, often at the expense of their own desires, so they’ll do things they don’t want to do but be kind of grouchy about it, leading others to believe that they are picky and that they change their mind too much. frequently changes the details of a story to either make it more interesting or get out of trouble. wants more than anything to see and experience the good in the world but is very often a victim of the bad. overly-trusting. they can make any experience memorable, and they are the most fun you’ll ever have. quite self-critical but they also know that they have a certain power over people. forgetful, tolerant, warm. often feels quite overwhelmed and may not handle this feeling wisely. crazy but kind. the one whom words fail to describe. the biggest piece of my heart, my mother.
cancer: both friendly and intimidating. difficult to read. patient and cooperative but more often than not, they think their idea/opinion is better than yours. very, very smart. super dependable, so sensitive, hold grudges like it’s their life’s calling. courageous. behave very differently around authority figures, likes being seen as innocent and cute. they will keep your secrets but they will kind of hold them over you, and they tend to taunt others by saying, “i know [x] about [y] and you don’t.” very funny, dark, and sarcastic once you get to know them, but initially sweet and sugary. survivalists; they protect themselves first and their loved ones second and don’t really care about everyone else. friendly. once they’re in a relationship, they become rather absorbed by it and neglect the other parts of their life. dramatic, obsessive. rather strong-willed. when they’re having an off day, get out of their way. they will never forget anything you tell them. they see life as an inside joke. my figurative fraternal twin. the friend who is just like me but whom i’ll never understand.
leo: impressively loving, astonishingly generous, the whole universe in one person. soft and loud, wild and cautious. they are full of power, grace, and energy, and they awaken within you the sense that you are good and that you can do whatever you want to do. even when they’re quiet, their presence is felt. very self-critical, constantly questioning their worth. always in need of validation, which is why they like to be the center of attention; in order to know that they’re a star, they require a standing ovation. they want to love themselves, they need to love themselves. such a romantic, wants to be wooed and adored, and they’ll gladly return the favor. soothing. they are so easy to trust, but they are more careful with their own secrets than they seem. they love with every bone in their body. they want, more than anything, a best friend. loyal, inventive, go-getters. great listeners. can somehow empathize with every situation, but are mildly obsessed with themselves. love winning. my idol, the part of myself i hope i grow into, my aunt.
virgo: hilarious, dependable, treats you like their kid. trustworthy, sympathetic. they are fascinating and unique, but they are too attached to their own magic. more obsessive than they like to think they are. they take criticism very well, perhaps because they dish it out even better. level-headed but aspirational. they prefer to be the less loving one in all of their relationships. feels guilty for feeling sad or emotional. curious and interested. can talk for hours if you let them. kind and smart, wants to be special and different from everyone else. treats the people closest to them the worst. believes in tough love. loves to joke and be sarcastic but usually takes it a few steps too far. perfectionistic, which leads them to put little effort into things that they feel they can’t do flawlessly. the one i protect who thinks they’re protecting me. the friend whom i loved right away.
libra: angelic, enchanting, sweet. picky. they are so afraid of offending someone that they have to know someone really likes them before they’ll be honest with them. so many layers. funny and diligent. treats everyone like their best friend, but when you are their best friend, there is just something so slightly different about how they treat you, something that makes you feel amazing. good at everything. completely unable to make decisions. gossipers. they want to like everyone, but they just don’t. absolutely hates saying no, but will do it if it’s 100% necessary. sleepy and goofy around people they love. works hard to look good, trendy. smart, fair. nervous around authority figures. fearful of loss and of growing up. secret control freaks. they are at once youthful and wise. crazy patient on the outside, just crazy on the inside. always somewhere on my mind, the one who i was always meant to know. my very best friend, my soul’s sister.

sagittarius: the most supportive and dependable person on the planet. an amazing friend, the best person to have in your corner. honest and disorganized, friendly and capable. very quick to anger and has a hard time admitting they’re wrong. devotes themselves wholly and completely to their partner and puts them on a pedestal, but once they’ve moved on, they’ve really moved on. tends to succeed, lucky. has a hard time seeing the truth of a situation and often must be told what’s really going on. charismatic and caring, overly generous. can spread themselves thin. guided chiefly by morals which they never abandon. has a strong sense of right and wrong (specifically, they’re right, you’re wrong). my backbone, my other mother.
capricorn: pensive and stoic. has a brain that never stops going. they wake up every morning in the climax of a novel they’ve written in their sleep. loyal, just, intimidating. cold and private. mean to people who are mean to them. shuts down entirely for seemingly no reason. the wisest of all. mature. silently romantic. victim of their thoughts. intense, original. they want someone to fall really deeply in love with them, but they close themselves off to everyone. admires the beauty of the world, moved by small details that many people miss. always thinking of the future, no matter how good the present is. judgmental. wants to be better than everyone else. exceptionally smart. often falling apart on the inside. can think themselves into sickness, into joy, into anything. loves to be alone, hates more than anything to be lonely. soft on the inside. the best leaders but they don’t like to lead. kind-hearted and always doubting it. immensely fatalistic. the dreamy head behind my eyes. myself.

pisces: kind-hearted, funny. to really know them, you kind of have to know them forever. so easy to love. hates to think about the difficulties of the world and prefers to just have fun. very much in the present and tries not to think about the future. as such, they sometimes behave without thinking and wind up messing things up for themselves. they tend to be kind of lazy in regards to some things and extremely passionate in regards to others; there isn’t a lot of balance. can be very mean and very angry. won’t apologize first when you’ve made them mad. must express themselves in some way. no matter how much they say that they love you, they always love you more than that. quite sensitive, hates few things more than being called annoying. super generous, always wants to be there for you but hates not being able to make you happier. truly the sweetest. my favorite person, my brother.
Big sisters are the most powerful people in our lives. From a young age we look up to them. We want to be like them, But we can never beat them. We want to impress them, But they are never interested in us like we are in them. They can cripple us with a single sentence, But they can also build us up like no one else.
