she may be little but she is fierce

The truth is, I pretend to be a cynic, but I am really a dreamer who is terrified of wanting something she may never get. Facebook: Christine Anne Mahimy Tweet: @qwirkhy IG: qwuirky

“Here’s what will make you stronger: Not making a big speech, but tolerating the state of being imperfectly seen and heard. Because when you can tolerate being misunderstood or even iced out, you don’t waste your energy trying to correct things. That leaves you more energy to focus on people who naturally understand you, appreciate you, and want to know more about you. That leaves you more energy to be present and feel relaxed and good without controlling what’s happening around you. When you’re neutral, respectful, and open, even when you hear bad things that people say about you secondhand, it feels forgivable. After all, you’ve said judgmental shit about people you don’t completely understand, haven’t you? When you’re hiding yourself and viewing yourself as someone who’s always being judged badly, you have less compassion for other people. You have to be able to set boundaries and say, “This is who I am, and this is what I expect from my friends. These are my standards. I know they’re not shared by everyone, but that’s okay. This is me.” Once you’re clear about your needs and beliefs, that makes it easier to accept when other people have different needs and beliefs from yours.”

“As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy, and focus.”

I do believe in the idea that once you feel the littlest love for someone, it never leaves, you can think of all the terrible things they’ve done, all the annoying little things they do, how they constantly steal the blankets and you can never get a goodnight sleep, how they constantly act too needy, all the little things they’ve said that didn’t sit right with you. Or you can really dig deeper, which takes a lot more patients and a lot more self discipline, to kind of dig down into those memories…those memories that just seem to be dreamy in a way. They have that beautiful glow that just radiates pure happiness, as you see yourself, and this other person, and the smiles on your faces are so extremely uncontrollable, that smile you try to hide around others, but in this moment you couldn’t even give a fuck about your insecurties, as you are just so extremely caught up in the beauty of that moment, the beauty that you both create.
