La beauté est une experience personelle

"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder". Beauty is created by the eyes of those who observe her. She does not exist all by  herself. We give her life with our appreciation. *²

Societal standards try to ferociously convince us that beauty is unified and standardised. The same skin colour, the same hair texture and the same body type. We must all crave for one ideal. Like many of us, I strongly disagree. 

I would go as far, as saying that there is even beauty in death and decay. The fact that leaves fall and create food for the tree itself is a beautiful cycle for me to observe. Even the wilthered flower is beautiful to my eyes.

Beauty can be found in imperfection too. Life is like a school and each aspect of our lives, a classroom. While embracing the process and apprenticeship and mastery, we are bound to make mistakes.*¹ After all " l'erreur est humaine", they say. Each mistake is a step towards self accomplishment. It speaks of perseverance and resilience. 

 Even the truth is beautiful. Freedom is beautiful because for many, truth is freedom and freedom is truth. If freedom is beautiful, I am free and beautiful.

And so are you.

*¹When I say mistake, I by no means talk about harming others and not taking responsibility. I refer to simpler things.

*² Whether we observe it or nor, a flower stays beautiful but we are the ones, in the present moment calling her beautiful. We are the observers.

Are we free to choose?

Dreams versus responsibilities. Obligations or illusions? Are we really free to choose our preferred destinations? Are we really free to make our own decisions? Or do we all inherit our ancestors' despair and our parents' faux pas? All around me I see patterns, generational sequences endlessly reoccuring.  After empathically paying attention  to my ancestors' regrets, I realised that I had had the displeasure of experiencing similar situations despite of the different era I live in.  That is why these are called generational trauma and curses. Till the root of the problem is not addressed, the sequence repeats itself, irrespective of how careful one is.  For some it is the evil seed of phallocracy, for others the cancerous mole that is poverty.  The wretched misery and its companion, the overwhelming confusion, never stops visiting us, thus cultivating bitterness and hopelessness in our lives.  For me the ultimate answer was finding my life purpose. Finding...

Self assurance versus arrogance

In this day and age, many tend to not differenciate between the concepts of confidence and arrogance. Unfortunately, I have met many who had the whole world against them, continuously brainwashing them to see themselves as worthless pieces of shit, and when they showed a well earned success in  life, they were consequently labelled arrogant. The world was adamant about how these individuals should be kept humbled at all times.  Who were the ones really arrogant? Who were the ones really feeling worthless deep down to their cores? Why do you need to drag someone in the mud to feel worthy? When adults adopt these behaviours towards children, it makes my stomach churn! How pathetic!  Whenever someone tries to humble you because you need it(according their twisted and rotten minds), please, remember how lowly they think of themselves. This is a testament of their own value to their own eyes. They are trying to bring you down to their level.  Dear Divine Soul, remember yo...

Free and happy!

Be happy and be free! Finding contentment in the smallest things in life can bring tremendous happiness. Being grateful about being alive and breathing fresh air. Being grateful for the gift of sight and the colorful and astonishing palette of nature. To be able to be content with simplicity in itself is exhilarating to the heart. After having contemplated the prospect of a personalised expedited departure for so long, even being alive and able to feel joy in my heart is a miracle. To be absolutely sincere, dearest reader, I was so accustomed to experiencing sorrow that being serene and joyous feels deeply uncomfortable to me. I am constantly questioning meself:  "Is there something wrong with me? Oh no! I am just happy!"  My wish for you is contentment and happiness! Enjoy life with a zest!
