So true- standing in and owning your truth is the most powerfully thing you can do. You can ever only learn about yourself from the acceptance of your truth.
Don't worry about who you want to be. You are you. You've been you from the very start and you'll ALWAYS be you. You can't change that. You can only become more you. Shake of the BS parts you think you are. Who you think you are is just an illusion. It doesn't exist. You are you. And you don't ever get to know who that is. A flame can't burn itself. A light can't light itself. And you can't actually look inside. It's like what you see when you close your eyes. Those surreal fireworks exploding on the inside of your eyelids? It's like that. A complete act of your imagination. A fabrication of who you think you are. In real life, there's nothing there. Trust me, I know. I spent five years in solitude trying to figure out who I was, who I wanted to be. What a waste of time. Just do. Make things. Look out from yourself and live.
It depends on what you mean by self love. Self love isn't feeling good about yourself. It's not saying positive affirmations or letting yourself have that extra dessert or buying yourself that extra trinket. Most things people think of as self love aren't really self love, but self pleasure. To truly love yourself you must first love others. Love even the people you despise. The bigots. The narcissists. The strangers. The difference between you and them is just an illusion. They are all you. They are projections of something that comes from and lives within you. Only when you learn to love others can you learn how to love yourself. The difference between self love and loving others is the difference between masterbation and making love.
I want to become as absurd as one can be. And i say a lot of things about myself, sometimes as true as i can and sometimes the most opposite things to the truth i understand. I and i think i am doing good because no matter what I say, i truly am what i want to be. Absurd.
Oh so true, especially saying you are gentle but talking to yourself like you're the enemy! I think I will always be a work in progress. Beautifully written.
This reminds me of my favorite question, How long have you been you?
I love that
Thank you
I’m taking this. Thank you, Franklin.🌸
“There is no shame in being in progress” thank you, yes!
Now is the time to see yourself in all your Glory
Know that the Fears are a part of you.
They were created for Transmutation and in the Transmutation of your Fears you will see your Glory...
The Fear is the Gift
The Fear is the Gift in Hiding, and when it is brought to the Light, and Fused with the Light, it is the True Self in physical form...

Did you love yourself for five years straight? because I honestly can't see how that would be a waste of time. 💙🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽

I believe you have to love and accept yourself first before you can love any one else. Whatever works for you.💙🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽
This is so important. Thank you for the medicine.
Well said. I'm an imperfect person, a late bloomer, and still evolving.
So, so good
“No shame in being in progress.” I loved that.
“Becoming” is crazy work. I’m coming back to this piece over and over again.
Thank you for this beam of light you’ve literally handed me. My path feels brighter.🫂
I am glad to hear that 🥺❤️🩹
Who is ever fully who they say they are? Do we need to say who we are or can we just be and let others take that in?

This hit me hard, thank you! Especially - you say you are changed but you just may have not been tested. Absolutely!

After all... yours is the only truth you can ever be sure of. 🫶🏻
