[Fl...] Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do. http://c300221.r21.cf1.rackcdn.com/georgia-okeeffe-pink-dish-and-green-leaves-1928-1358973903_b.jpg I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. Georgia O'Keeffe I READ THIS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AND THE FIRST THING THAT STUCK ME WAS THE STEM WITH 2 LEAVES. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THIS IS A STEM THAT HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF EVERYTHING AND LEFT WITH ONLY 2 OF WHAT I CAN IMAGINE OR CHOOSE TO IMAGINE ARE GREEN LEAVES. HMMM, AND NOW THE STEM IS IN WATER. WILL IT ROOT ITSELF IF LEFT LONG ENOUGH? I WOULD LIKE TO THINK SO. I SUPPOSE I AM LIKE THE STEM...I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH A MIND AND A BODY (2 LEAVES) I'M TRYING TO RE*ROOT MYSELF, RE*GROW WHAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED, AND I WILL; HOWEVER, LIKE EVERYTHING THAT IS NEW...IT TAKES TIME, AND WITH TIME...ONE DAY...I WILL LOOK LIKE THIS AGAIN! THE BEAUTIFUL MIGHTY OAK... IT STANDS STURDY AND STRONG... IT'S BRANCHES ARE OUTREACHING... IT CAN WITH STAND WIND, RAIN, AND STORM... YEP...ONE DAY...ONE DAY....

It is a field of the wild carrot taking thefield by force; the grass does not raise above it. Here is no question of whiteness, white as can be, with a purple mole at the center of each flower. Each flower is a hand's span of her whiteness. Wherever his hand has lain there is a tiny purple blossom under his touch to which the fibres of her being stem one by one, each to its end, until the whole field is a white desire, empty, a single stem, a cluster, flower by flower, a pious wish to whiteness gone over-- or nothing...

Guest [in...] Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying. - Morris West http://19bomm39g2pg3lok73fzq9pq8x.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bw53.jpg 'Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause, and of obstinacy in a bad one. - Laurence Sterne The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. - Henry Ward Beecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [in...] Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less me. Because I didn't want to be a burden. I didn't want to be too much or push people away. I wanted people to like me. I wanted to be cared for and valued. I wanted to be wanted. So for years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, I suffered. But I'm tired of suffering, and I'm done shrinking. It's not my job to change who I am in order to become someone else's idea of a worthwhile human being. I am worthwhile. Not because other people think I am, but because I exist, and therefore I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters. And with or without anyone's permission or approval, I will continue to be who I am and speak my truth. Even if it makes people angry. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. I refuse to shrink. I choose to take up space. I choose to honour my feelings. I choose to give myself permission to get my needs met. I choose to make self-care a priority. I choose me. ― Daniell Koepke Who can see inside the deepest recesses of your imagination and manifest those wishes into your daily experience? Who can appreciate those subtle nuances of character you've acquired by overcoming your deepest fears? Who can truly respect those things that are no longer a part of you because of all your work to release them? Who can see the strength left behind in the wake of your unique struggles and obstacles? Who will see you for who you are, appreciating everything that is there, everything that is not, everything that can be, if you do not? Who else can? ― Vironika Tugaleva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
