Important notes:
Posts are being uploaded from newest to oldest so oldest is on the top. Which is opposite of what it is normally on social media.
Posts without tags are essentially just thoughts about myself or personal diaryesque posts.
Hope this helps you to understand yourself or the world better. At the end of the day, we all have our own path and what is good for one might not be for another. Take what rings true to you, and leave the rest.

You can't learn if there is still tension. Emotional or psychological. Like a muscle, the stretch needs to be released before it gets better. So if there is no release of psychological or emotional tension there is no way to improve. Exposure is like learning to stretch the experience you feel uncomfortable with. Not to the point of pain but as far as you feel comfortable then release. If you are still in the trauma or tension it is difficult to get the release but you will learn how to cope with the tension. Even if you can't remove it.

Awareness isn't always recovery even if it feels so at first.
You can be completely aware of your thoughts and feelings and not react to them. Cutting the connections from thought to action can be an effective tool in managing our reactions and work from a place of trying to observe what's happening without the extreme reactions that can cause serious harm to oneself are less likely if you are able to react based on intention. Instead of being controlled by your emotions and random thoughts. Neither of which are actually you or controlled by you. Not to say there is not active thought, but that a fair amount of them are automatic and uncontrolled.
The universe inside of me is so grand and so accessible that it is hard for me to recognize that there are other equally beautiful and vastly different universes around. Recently I have been seeing it, and for the most part I am encountering awesome, kind and caring universes that make me happy. Sure there are some confused ones, sometimes harmful and destructive, but I think being kind and caring with those around you is the best choice. It is also the most strategic one, and the only choice we have.
It is ok to be suspicious in a world trained to take from others to live.
I trust you with my strength and joy but I don't quite trust you with my weakness.
I need to know you are ok with me being serious and know that you know I am able to take care of myself. I also need to feel comfortable with being raw without it greatly impacting you.
I need to know you are comfortable enough with yourself and your emotions for me to be direct. I need to know you are strong enough in yourself that the things I say won't unduly affect you if they are not helpful to you, but that you will listen and take it to heart if it does.
I need to know you are aware of how you feel and why you feel that way or at the very least open to understanding and searching for the truth to your thoughts and feelings. I need to know you are able discern societal and familial programming from your own thoughts and feelings. That you are able to challenge what you know and grow to become a more healthy you.
I need to know you are trying to be kind and respect others, especially those unlike you with differing opinions. That you are willing to try to understand before seeing another through your own biased lens. I need to know that you recognize you are biased and likely lack perspective on a great deal of situations, as we all do. That you are seeking to grow from these experiences of conflict and not just win.
Feeling connection when you haven't in a while is like a warm blanket when you're freezing or a perfect calm after a loud storm. But the opposite is also true. Feeling disconnected or feeling as if these connections have been cut can feel like being thrown out in the rain. It feels alienating and isolating. It makes you feel alone even if you're not.
There can be great sadness when an individual who once felt they had beautiful warm loving connections to people suddenly feels cut off without words or understanding. Sometimes if you sit in that disconnection and look for signs of connection you can find your way out. Unfortunately not everyone has easy access to meaningful connection. So when they get disconnected, they get lost in the cold empty darkness. And sometimes for so long they lose empathy for everyone. Including themselves.
This darkness becomes part of them eventually and pushes them into pushing destruction either on themselves or someone else in order to feel any connection even if it is a bad one. Even if it involves drugs or harming another. Sometimes we need to feel security in these sources so we obsess and hold tightly any source of connection to feeling more. To feeling those brief moments of warmth and connection again. But our need to feel secure in the small amount we are getting we don't often get a real constant stable connection or recognize it when we do.
Sometimes though, a connection so meaningful and personal can rewarm and relight the fires of warmth inside someone. This comes in many different forms for many different people. But for those who have been through it it doesn't always offer a permanent solution. From the cold we must build a foundation of self love, acceptance, awareness and accountability. We must be the ones to be the light to ourselves and our communities. We each have our own path, but we can still use each other's tools and learn from each other. Even at times uplift each other on the path or lend a hand. Our life and our path is ours to make though. We must realize we are not individuals in a community. We are a community of individuals. Whether we like it or not, those we interact with every day are just as complex and multifaceted as you are. So we have to learn to work for the benefit of all involved. Even if they don't like you. This should be done through understanding the individuals in the community with the help of data and a framework of understanding. Using data and measurement as a tool for understanding the truth, and understanding that the results are not truth itself.

Sometimes I am scared who I am is too much. I am scared that I am being manipulative. I am scared that my presence obscures another's light. I am scared that instead of shining a spotlight on them I am just drowning them out. Preventing them from being truly themselves. I don't want to be the center of attention. I don't want to steal another's happiness or joy. I just want to shine my light upon the world. But I am so very scared of the effects.

Honestly not sure how I feel about it generally but it made me challenge myself some. Cause in a way it is right. I sometimes wish I was normal, but I don't really like or appreciate normal things. I don't want this world to stay the same. I think it can be better. It does not diminish the pain or suffering caused from difference, but I like to think the pain is more from childhood trauma than my tendencies. Maybe the act of seeing the universe as a just and kind being that just wants you to grow can allow you to heal through the trauma. Which is why religiosity is tied to happiness and well-being. If you think you are still in danger. Still in that situation. That the world is bad or evil. Then you can't truly heal and move on.
Don't gatekeep being a good person, it only serves in defeating the point of being a good person. To make more good people and help others.
The only time that thoughts or feelings affect your life is if you behave in a certain way because of them. They can however affect you. And sometimes that effect makes it seem impossible not to behave a certain way. That is a lie though. If you can observe the feeling, experience the feeling, and not react or judge the feeling, then you can often move past it without greatly impacting your life. This can also often allow for healing to start. You are not your body, you are not your mind, you are the consciousness observing and experiencing your body and your mind. So continue to find more ways to enjoy and love life, as that is how we survive. Through our love, and with acceptance of our pain.
Nervousness and excitement or feelings of anxiety all stem from a preparatory experience that helps to adjust mindset when going into an important task. If feelings are viewed negatively you feel anxious if they are viewed positively it is excitement

If you receive something beyond your own efforts, such as gifts, good looks, intelligence, that is a privilege you have been provided that others do not.
If people need to cheat the system repeatedly to get a task done, then the system needs examined and changes made to.
Being seen as a threat is never a good thing, but it can be used to one's advantage.
What If this reality is simply a training school for higher intelligence beings to identify consciousness ready for ascension into their reality.
If you have good boundaries being vulnerable does not make you weak or easy to sway.

I find myself coming from the perspective of knowing instead of seeking to understand too often. Knowing is good but too much self-assuredness can be a bad thing. I want to keep open about things and grow. I want to find new ways to be. New thoughts and feelings are invigorating and eye opening. They help me see me as more than I am. Or maybe just let me see all of me more truly. We all grow and succeed in our own way. I want to be someone who can be a catalyst for others. To help them achieve their truth. I find it a beautiful experience to watch. To see someone come into their own is a gift. I wish to do all I can to do that. Sadly I often fall short. Its hard to be that in a personal way while having to deal with all that I ask of myself. Cause as much as I give, I have to fill back into myself. And while I am happy and love myself a hug from yourself is really not as good as a hug from someone who cares for and validates you. As an individual who touch is one of the most important needs, a life where the loving touch of another human is not present is overwhelming.
Yet I keep most connections at arms reach. Because while the need for touch is great, the pain of a bad touch is much worse. The fear and bad that still resides deep in myself. The fear and pain I nurture and heal daily in my meditation practice, and the guardian who protects me from further injury both contribute to this hesitation to let others close. Much like a wounded animal who fights their rescuer due to their fear of being hurt again, I must allow myself the space to experience good touch again. To experience genuine kindness and respect and take it in and love it. With this, I can restore and solidify my foundation and allow myself a better base on which to create a new work of art. And release the essence of my soul unto the world.
One reason I self monitor is so that I am not a detriment to another's growth. I just want to lift up those around me.
