#meetyourself

We often know, solidly, what our friends like, who they are, what they enjoy doing. Sometimes we know these things about people we don't particularly care for. I thought I knew a lot about myself until I got on social media and filled out those bios and "things I like" pages. I could fill them all out, but would often have more specific things to say than what was offered. So, this challenge is designed to pick your brain and help you appreciate you, and what aids in your expression of self. Start where you want, do as many as you like. Have fun, there's no pressure or time frame!

Using paint sample cards, online or in-store, find a colour palette that calls to you. Make a few if you want to! If you can't see colour for whatever reason, choose fabric textures or chords in music!

Make a playlist of songs that you relate to in some way. Name it something like "Essence of Your Name".

Find or take some selfies that make you feel attractive (or whatever else you want to feel). Put them in a collage or photo set, and give them the same filter if you want (I personally like b&w).

Have a personal sigil or seal? If not, make one! If you do, use an artistic medium of your choice to display or showcase it.

EDITED: Have you ever felt a melody strike a chord in your heart (badum tsss)? Or maybe a set of colours in a necklace or beaded windchine? Find something of this nature, something indescribable yet very tangible. So your best to form a detailed melody or artistic creation, and keep it as a signature of you!

Have some signature scents? Makeup colours? Style of clothes? Make an image collage of the visuals, include textiles if you want to, and create a scent strip with perfume or other scented things on it.

Make a box—small or large, whatever floats your boat—and put in mini versions of things you love. This doesn't necessarily have to be a coping skills toolbox, which is what I'm basing this on, but you can include things that just bring your mood up, too. Movies, images, essential oils, etc.

Have a favourite blanket, stuffed animal, or even coffee mug? Draw it. If you can't or don't want to draw it, sit and analyze it. Why do you think it's your favourite?

9. If you haven't already, you can calculate your natal chart and read through descriptions of each house and planet. If you want a project, you can attempt to draw it by hand! I used astro.com for mine! All you need is your birthdate, time of birth, and location of your birth.

Take your palm prints! This works great with roll on ink, but stamping ink works okay, and paint a little less so. Or, you can take a picture and edit them to be starkly contrasting black and white lines!

“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”

✔️ Đi thật xa, rốt cuộc ta lại tìm thấy chính mình.

✔️Mỗi chuyến đi không chỉ là hành trình địa lý, mà còn là hành trình nội tâm. Khi bước ra khỏi vùng an toàn, ta va chạm với những trải nghiệm mới, những con người mới, và cả những góc nhìn mới. Chính lúc đó, ta soi chiếu lại bản thân: hiểu rõ hơn về điểm mạnh, giới hạn và cả giá trị cốt lõi mà trước nay ta ít khi đối diện.

✔️Đi xa không để chạy trốn, mà để trở về – với một phiên bản “mình” trưởng thành, sâu sắc và hiểu rõ con đường phía trước hơn. Bởi cuối cùng, thành công không phải ở nơi ta đến, mà ở chỗ ta đã tìm thấy chính mình trên hành trình đó.

one of my favourite c-drama ♡

standing in the road

don't know where to go

in the air my memories flow

faces in a row

take a long way home

but all of this remind me to believe

no one stay or leave

and all of this remind me to receive

life we can see

la la la la la la la la

the sun will rise and fall

la la la la la la la la
