Contribution. My greatest understanding this year is what my contribution is to others. I've prided myself on my logic but the reality is it is an external measure of value. What I've found myself to actually be is an open heart with incredible consideration and space for others to be themselves with me and do what they want. However, as a consequence, I oftentimes leave myself out and end up feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and manipulated at times. It's understandable, my heart beats strongly, it wants to express its gratitude by giving more than what it can at times because it feels those who have touched it and healed it from dark experiences that left it cold. But given that awareness, my current dogma is to make sure I am always occupying my heart first and remembering that doing what I want is still positively impacting others and is NOT selfish to do. I can't always please everyone and I'm also not immune to hurting others, but I can control how I feel, so I should do what makes me happy and stop apologizing for doing what I want anymore. #becauseitsannoying #contribution #learnyourvalue #soyoucanapplyitbetter #keepyourcupfull #itsokaytotalk (at Black Rock City)
