“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well”

My only relationship goal is to be with a person who motivates me to become a great person and tells me the potential I don’t see in myself.

Everything you do closes a door somewhere ahead of you. And finally there is only one door left.

The past […] is always this argument between counterclaimants. Memories dim with age. There is no repository for our images. The loved ones who visit us in dreams are strangers. To even see aright is effort. We seek some witness but the world will not provide one. This is the third history. It is the history that each man makes alone out of what is left to him. Bits of wreckage. Some bones. The words of the dead. How make a world of this. How live in that world once made?

Cormac McCarthy, from The Crossing (Vintage, 1994)

Life is just a big game of trying to find the perfect balance between taking risks and being responsible.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

from now I’ve got to start chasing regular discomfort, because otherwise comfort isn’t comfort but stagnation. you can’t have one without the other. to be challenged is to grow and it’s the only way to actually feel at peace

[sea-mists]

you’ve gotta choose the path of resistance sometimes, read don’t scroll, create don’t consume, move don’t settle, reach out don’t wait for others to do it for you

Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous and unafraid version of you - and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing else does.

I know this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart; you’re just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful.

If you can’t do anything about it, then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change.

Cancer Full Moon (Jan. 6, 2023):

Healing is the focal point of this full moon in Cancer. We are being called to heal the wounds of our past so that we can create a new and better future. To do this, our focus needs to be on the present. When we find ourselves swirling in the pain of our past or in anxiety about the future, we need to pause and breathe deeply into this moment. 

Deeply rooted wounds related to childhood and family have been rising up from the depths to the surface of our awareness. Our wounded inner child may be crying out for our attention and loving care. Negative habits, patterns, and beliefs stemming from unconscious family conditioning may be getting too painful and destructive to ignore anymore. It’s important to be extra kind and gentle with ourselves in this healing process. 

Many of us will be feeling extra sensitive and emotional at this time. Feelings are prone to being hurt more easily right now and there is a tendency to take things personally. It’s likely we will experience some mental  resistance. It may feel like these big feelings are “getting in the way” of what we think we need to do. But we are being gifted with the opportunity to make huge strides in our journey of healing/releasing and growth – if we are brave enough to let ourselves fully feel whatever arises, instead of shoving it away. We are being pushed to get out of our heads, drop into our feelings, and to trust our heart and gut instincts. 

There is also a beautiful creative and visionary energy that we can tap into at this time. Magic is in the air; creative inspiration, epiphanies, and synchronicity may strike at any time in the days surrounding this full moon. Something solid is showing up to help us feel stronger in who we truly are and to support us in stepping into our unique self expression. 

Though there is some intensity to this full moon, it is also filled with blessings – simply remain open to receiving them ❤️

Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.
