A reminder also to myself to accept my feelings, not to censor them. They have the right to be heard, acknowledged and worked with, to exist. Even if they are intense, or complex, or at first seem to contradict each other. All the feels need to be taken seriously and be adressed for what they are: real feelings, not fake ones, not insignficant ones, not ones to be ashamed of, not inferior ones that exist only in the deep sea of oneself cause you think they are not allowed to be felt, seen and heard. Yes, these real emotions scare the hell outta us. And what scares us gets more power to paralize us with fear and stands in the way of our personal inner growth. However, exactly that is what I am here to do on this planet. To grow. To promote growth: mine, his, ours. To love, to nourish and to protect. To create and build up. To water and somestimes to shed tears and feel, learn, clean up, pull the weeds and take the garbage out. And then grow new roots, extend old ones towards new earth, maybe try out a new pot, garden, city balcony, park or moutain forest, flower and flourish again, looking to find new nutrients and food for thought, while always extending and stretching towards the light...up and up and up... Trying really hard to rise up to this task. Loving and trusting myself. For so real! It‘s sooo fucking hard. But so worth it and real ☀️☺️❤️ #mama #mom #life #live #love #grow #learn #now #paper #writing #collage #drawing #sketch #art #mixedmedia #real #sonatanelles #kids #wemakeourjoy #family #health #ruleyourself #protect #nourish #respect #trust #selflove #confidence #strength #light
