Analyzing Carl Rogers and writing a paper about the use of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness. Super unmotivated but pushing through in a study room on campus!

Love isn’t a refusal to see flaws or mistakes; that’s Pollyannaism and it’s a form of anxiety-driven denial destined to end in disaster. Love is a sober embrace of harsh truths, a commitment to care and understand in the face of struggle. “Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person,” wrote Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. “Understanding is love’s other name.” This holds true for loving ourselves just as much as it does for loving others. Yes, things are too often messy and scary and hard. Even still, we must face those realities if we want to love ourselves and others. Understanding and acceptance are essential to the art of love. As the psychologist Carl Rogers put it, “People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds. Surround yourself with people that can adore your hues. #bpeppersart • • #carlrogers art #artwork #igdc #creative #acreativedc #anacostia #anacostiariver #cutouts #cutoutart #blackart #afroart #sunset #nature #dopeart #blackgirlmagic #illustration #drawing #draw #igart #instagood #artist #instaart #illustrator #sketch #dc #photography #naturalhair #blackcreativesmatter (at Anacostia Park)
