21 day challenge
Do some small act of a kindness everyday without seeking anything in return.
You will be surprised what comes back when you don’t expect it.
(If you know you know)
You probably will continue the random acts of kindness pass the 21 days

The deeper we go into our shadows and find acceptance, the more light we can hold.
The more light we hold, the more we come face to face with our unconscious.

My family thinks I’m absolutely nuts. They’re constantly whispering to younger cousins “don’t copy her” and “she’ll always be the wild one, never thinking”. I was desperate to fit in but I never really did. And now I’m out here wondering why the hell I ever wanted to in the first place.
Blood is thicker than water, but water has the power to dilute the strength of blood.
True, I can be reckless and impulsive. If I want something, I have to have it. I am selfish and persistent in my pursuit. Whether or not it’s good for me is another story. I’m stubborn and sensitive, sometimes blindly optimistic.
But frankly, if we spend time waiting for the perfect moment….it’ll never come. No matter how much we plan and prepare, there are always uncertainties.
I believe we have to create opportunities for ourselves. I don’t want to wait around and wonder, I want to know. If I fail (is anything really a failure or just a redirection?), then I have more information than I started with. Something was still gained.
Some caution is a good thing. However, awareness + acceptance always > caution.
It’s not about succeeding - it’s about trying. It’s about having faith, trusting that things are always working out in your favor. Reflection and introspection, then continuing to move forward. Everything is a lesson, to teach us more about ourselves.
At the end of my life, I want to be able to say I lived a full one. That I didn’t hold back out of fear. That I didn’t succumb to being a victim of circumstance, I didn’t stay complacent within the status quo. I don’t want there to be any “what-ifs”. I want to be able to say that it all had to happen this way. That I understand the meaning of my story.
That I loved fiercely and passionately. That I didn’t allow the injustices of the world to harden me. That I used my pain for good, turned it into hope. That I continued to strive for better, that I never gave up.
That I didn’t do it perfectly, but I did it with compassion, self-respect, and grace. That I confidently pursued my dreams and I humbly acknowledged my mistakes. That my experiences shaped me, they didn’t just happen to me.
At the end, I want to say that I know who I am and what I stand for. That in my life, I made the most of it to become the truest version of myself.

I can feel myself shifting internally while the world is simultaneously trying to stop it.

I can feel myself:
• growing less attached to the opinions of others
• growing in confidence (maybe some borderline arrogance but it’s new and I’m gleeful)
• more & more able to talk myself out of ruminating
• “testing” my intrusive thoughts for evidence - turns out they’re wrong a lot!
• feeling optimistic about the future - setting goals, making plans
• less *needing* to escape; instead, making a conscious choice to if so
• follow up ^ wanting to escape less often
• more comfortable letting things/people/situations go (not needing to control)
• embracing the freedom in realizing that I don’t matter to anyone else as much as I do to myself
• acknowledging the other side of the coin - the painful loneliness of realizing I don’t matter to anyone else as much as I do to myself
• defining my reality on my own terms
• feeling happy & confident, yet feeling like I’m doing something wrong
• tested by old thought patterns and behaviors
• trying to make a home for the scared little girl/old me while shifting into a newer mature new me
• heightened awareness of others’ need to be accepted, probably because I find myself growing less so - like a living juxtaposition
• acknowledging my weaknesses while, starting to accept my whole self in her entirety
• questioning myself often, worrying if I am turning into a selfish asshole
• feeling a loss of identity - Who am I? What do I like? What do I want? ….How do I decide?
• feeling like there isn’t enough time anymore
• being a human
••• holding all of these feelings separately, together •••
not. quitting.
maybe, stumbling
but then. getting. up. again.

Oh, I was tested today on my no drinking and I prevailed. YAY me. It’s the little wins. Few and far between but they add up over time - experience > confidence > resilience
Addiction is all simple math really.
Drinks, dollars, grams, ounces, pills, dosage, days, hours - constantly counting; constantly surviving, dependent on a roulette of endless numbers.
And recovery? Getting sober is saying “fuck your math, I’m bored, let’s do some science”
Medical attention
About medical attention and being the first to believe to yourself.
Some of us form into ppl pleasers due to certain circumstances. Sometimes it is even hard to tell what do you feel if nobody believes you you feel this way. Than, if unfortunately you become ill, if nobody believes you... You might accidentally believe them instead of yourself. But our body is wise, and it gives emotional and physical signals to our brain with a reason! No one is living this life from your first day to your last day, in your shoes, in your skin - except YOU. You have the widest perspective on your life story. Only you live and feel the consequences of believing them and abandoning yourself. And it is not your fault, it is all you have known till that moment. Please forgive yourself, because... At any moment you have the choice to be the first human being on earth to believe you, to be by your side. I don't know if it would help, but I am alread believing you. Everything you have gone through, any emotion and sensation you have - it all makes perfect sense to me, it is important, it deserves to be seen and respected. So if you don't get the right medical attention, please don't stop searching for better options. Even if you need to pause for such long period of time to regain trust, to save money if possible... The moment you can, please keep moving forward, because YOU deserve to find those kind compassionate allies in life - who will care, who will listen, who will help without making you smaller than the equal human being you are. Because your essence is awsome and you deserve to get the help you need ❤️
Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
