i gotta start believing in myself the way i believe in other people.

i gotta start seeing the best in me and doing the best i can the way i see the best in other people.

i gotta start being more supportive and encouraging on myself, the way i support and encourage other people.

i gotta start giving myself more credit the way i credit other people.

being an only child and all,

who lost her father - one of the people closest to her at such a young age.

...

i used to feel so bad for being very clingy, dramatic, fragile, and somewhat overly sensitive

...

but now i accept that it's a part of who i am

i value the people who are close to me. i probably try so hard to keep even those who don't deserve to be kept.

but yes, it is part of who i am - my personality and what makes me, me.

so if i cherish you, then you're someone special.

Nein, ich bin weder Franzose, noch kann ich die Sprache und ja, es ist wieder einer dieser scheinbar langweiligen Blogs, in denen die Verfasser nur sinnlose Beiträge über ihre Erlebnisse und Gefühle posten und der festen Überzeugung sind, diese würden auch nur ansatzweise irgendjemanden interessieren.

Ich bin ja wirklich überrascht, wie viele doch hier aktiv sind, obwohl wohl die meisten meiner Bekannten sagen würden: "Mädl, du bist erwachsen und kein Teenager mehr." oder "Mit 16 war das ja noch IN."

《IN》.. sagt man das heutzutage überhaupt noch?

Nunja, jedenfalls bin ich zwar mittlerweile keine 16 mehr, aber trotzdem mit 23 noch eher zur jungen Generation zählend.. oder?

Ich schreibe schon immer mit Leidenschaft gern, rede viel und bin der Meinung, dass es oftmals niemanden so richtig interessiert. Deshalb habe ich beschlossen, diesen Blog als eine Art "Tagebuch" zu nutzen, um mir einfach Gedanken, Gefühle und oft auch meine Meinung zu verschiedenen Themen von der Seele zu schreiben. Dies soll keine Depri-Nummer werden und ich komme auch nicht mit einer schlechten Kindheit oder anderen psychischen Störungen um die Ecke, die die Welt erschüttert.

What does it mean, “We are All One”? 

When it comes to people, practice imagining ourselves as a reflection of one another, where different versions of ourselves are being expressed. It is not to say we are not our own individuals, with our own thoughts, wants and needs... But when you start to think of others as a reflection of your being, and practice love and acceptance, your perspective will evolve. If we were to put ourselves in each other’s shoes, we may realize there isn’t much separating us other than perhaps our circumstances. Our perspective is related to the vibration in which we function, and this vibration will affect how you live your life. (Law of attraction is what happens in your life, law of vibration is how.) Our perspective is also how we view the quality of our life. If you imagine our interactions as “receptors” and “binders”, there needs to be an element of relativity between two or more people for energy to be expressed and conducted between. Everything that happens during a interaction has a purpose. Energy is self preserving; it is never wasted. 

A great way to practice love and acceptance is finding common ground. Listing positive aspects of other people, lifting each other up, understanding one another, lending a hand... help reinforce your own positive attributes of the self.

The notion that we are all different versions of ourselves being expressed can also be applied to the animate and inanimate. With nature, we both “grow”. We need the proper nourishment and circumstance(s) to flourish. If neglected, we perish. Our commonality of cells, processing, multiplying... transforming. That is why connecting with nature is a great way to “replenish” ourselves and, even, remember of our capabilities. Also of our limitations but unlike a tree, if we don’t like something, we can move. For the inanimate, well, we can remember everything is mostly composed of carbon. A piece of paper, our phones... alone can’t do much but has its purpose. These things we must also respect and be grateful for. Fire, water and other elements are by definition considered inanimate but can also appear to have a life of their own.

For the metaphysical and esoteric, I’ll be honest, I’m still learning. And a part of me believes it’s something we all know about already but maybe become aware of more precisely throughout our lives. I think this is where most of our connections take place, like a laboratory full of experiments. I believe this is where the spark of life carries.

So, in general, the Law of Divine Oneness commends everything and everyone as carrying a soul or Soul. When we create - music, food, art, technology, life! - it carries soul. When we are created, by other forces, we posses soul.

This city bustles around me,

I feel like I'm frozen here,

surrounded by endless crowds
