Lil' poem today to remind us to have the courage to keep living with an open heart ❤️

'When a man truly loves a woman, she becomes his weakness. When a woman truly loves a man he becomes her strength. This is called exchange of power.'

You don’t teach your children not to hit people by hitting them.

You don’t teach your children not to scream by screaming at them.

You don’t teach your children to be respectful by disrespecting them.

You don’t teach your children how to do anything by subjecting them to physical, emotional, or verbal abuse as a form of discipline.

The type of parents you have makes all the difference and when someone has good and secure parents and comes from a loving and safe home it eliminates them having to suffer from trauma built up in a place that’s meant to be safe for them and inflicting that same pain on others. I hope that this generation grows up to be better parents and heals from the things our parents have done to them.

I tried putting some feelings into words and it turned into this rambling. Sometimes, it seems that what gets me anxious is an undercurrent craving for more. There’s so much conditioning for us to always be moving forward and achieving. It feels like there will never be enough time to just be present.

I guess that’s how it feels to be a human sometimes and it’s okay. But I do believe that some things can be revealed with these kinds of emotions. Personally, I’ve been trying to redefine my ideas about success and growth. We've been seeing lately how so much of what’s considered progress is actually killing the earth and I think that might be a good hint about the way we need to change.

Anyway, that’s enough for today. Thanks for reading.

“Flowers teach us that nothing is permanent: not their beauty, not even the fact that they will inevitably wilt, because they will still give new seeds. Remember this when you feel joy, pain, or sadness. Everything passes, grows old, dies, and is reborn.”

— Paulo Coelho, The Spy

Do you ever just wonder about where life is taking you? I’m sitting outside on my deck, it’s a beautiful sunny day, 50 degrees and I’m pondering everything. I’m in college and I have been for awhile. I’m 21 and I don’t know what I want to do with my life. It’s scary when you realize your not a kid anymore.. I don’t want to grow up.

I want a cottage with a stream behind it and a forest that goes for miles on and deer are seen peeking out from the branches. Tea is brewing and my garden’s flowers are blooming. I am at peace with the world and full of kindness.
