Past, present, future

 Heal the past, live the present, dream the future. 

 - Mary Engelbreit 

I've been hearing a lot lately: "do not let your past define you". To some extent, your past defines you but it does not have to stop you from being happy.

I am all about healing. It can be quite an addicting process and a pitfall too at times. As multi layered as pain can be, we must be careful not to be continually disastisfied and constantly finding flaws with us instead of embracing the progress. Still I enjoy improving  myself and making my diurnal life as painfree as possible. 

When considering the present, why not enjoy gratitude and mindfulness?  When trying to overcome my anxiety, there is an exercise where you have to either state things you are grateful for instead of spiraling or identifying things with your senses. Not to forget breathing and havening practices. Yeah, when you alchemize the past, the present becomes more enjoyable for sure. 

The future is some sort of blank canva. It is a plain layout for our dreams, aspirations and projects. Being suicidal I did not foresee the future and did not really have aspirations. Yet deep down part of me wanted to live.  There was a shame of wanting to live and  a shame for wanting to die. Now I do not take my future for granted.

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!
