Hi! You can call me Juniper :)
Iām here to keep a journal of the things Iām learning as a new practitioner of meditation and student of Buddhism. Iāve recently joined a Buddhist Fellowship in my area, and itās been an incredible experience for me. I would really like to document my personal spiritual journey and growth, and have a record of the things Iām learning!
Thanks for visiting, have a beautiful day <3

i think the funniest and realist thing iāve realized lately is how troubling idealization can be. every person is justā¦ a person. the very people you want to impress or be apart of are just people. even if they seem wildly intimidating because of the way they look or because of their reputation, every one is just a person. human. as embarrassing, as remorseful and they are going through stages of growth just like you are. we only see what we want to see and then drown ourselves further in our own depression and we donāt have to.
truly and i am learning the less i idealise others, the more willing i am to meet people where they are warts n all. and the more willing i am to show myself too and bring my whole self into things. my own embarrassment becomes a new normal and fine thing. stumbling becomes more endearing.
had a teacher once who told us āidealizing people is just as dehumanizing as demonizing themā and that stuck with me so much
i love my grandma. and my mom. and myself too because every time i see them i see myself in them and thereās just. not enough words to say how thankful i am to resemble the two most beautiful kind hearted women i know
i am here. i am not in my past nor am i in the future. i am here; i am safe and loved and at peace. there is nowhere else that i should be besides in this moment.
dont romanticize the sadness. just let it exist plainly, like it did when you were a very young child, when you werent old enough to give it baggage. you'll find it's more devastating and cleansing that way
U can grieve and still live life. U can miss loving someone and love others. You can hold onto the good moments and simultaneously the bad moments. You can take the learning from a person you let go off and use it for the better. You can love someone and they may not be the right person. You can wish someone the best and love them from a distance. You can think fondly of someone and never talk to them again.. mysteries of the worldā¦
As my theater professor said, āSmart people can hold two opposing ideas in their heads at once.ā
thinking about all the āsmallā art thatās ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didnāt survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.
this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

did the rain let up yet? did things grow in its wake? i love you. i hope you dream of someone you love but only if itās good for you. i havenāt in a while because God knows what it would do to me. iāve been looking in the mirror again but not for too long. i hope light pours into your room just right and you are blinded with the beauty of being alive and landing on an earth that has a sunrise. i love you.
i'm eternally wounded, but who isnt. i try to remember the eternity is also inside everyone else. we all carry the wounds with plenty context. plenty interconnected. and then we stop being.
there are so many people who are waiting to love you. keep going
babes like...life is beautiful and vivid, please dont be afraid of getting your hands in it just bc there might be some mud left over. You're in the body to experience good, positive, loving things. we are experiencing this universe as humans together, allow yourself the immersion experience!! be the type of person you're scared to lose.
Crazy how we are everything that has happened to us but then you meet someone and you donāt see everything that has happened to them you just see them. And you both try to explain everything that has happened to you but your words and memories are so biased and oversimplified.
Guess I just wonāt understand things for a while and Iāll have to be okay with that
Huge fan of human connection, and love, and loss, and laying in the dark at night with the fan on thinking about things other people taught me and crying grateful happy tears
