A couple thoughts to show it is possible to have life be more of what you want.

Turning the page. A must. I am back to being myself, it’s art today! Back to an art project about connections? Really, I had not thought of it but broken connections are a part of things too.

The skies are a beautiful blue! I love that blue! Sunshine always helps! It’s back to meditation, exercises, how to improve life for myself. It’s back to feeling good! I really do feel good about all the other things I do. I feel very good about my new friends. New friends make a difference. Getting involved with life helps. Changing things up helps! How we look at things matters. Not allowing the thoughts about “it” to fill your days helps. It’s not fair, it’s not right and it’s not loving. You can’t let this kind of thing consume you; you can’t let that happen! You can survive it. You need to believe and trust in yourself! I learned this a long time ago.

If we learn to believe and trust in who we are there is inner strength, loving the self? Yes, that too! How do you love, trust in and believe in yourself?

It’s about knowing yourself, not what others think of you. It’s about trusting in what you know about living life, and taking on the belief, you can do what it takes to be all you can be. Notice how people do respond to you. Not the people who bring negative shit into your world but the ones who respond positively, who do tell you and show you that they do love who you are, and they do appreciate you. You need to be a part of the world to find these people. With such friends you will grow and feel good about life. You can be a happy person, a funny person who is welcome. You can feel a part of things. As I move into my new life this is my new reality and I find people whom I love who they are! They are kind, the make me feel heard, they share in my interests, they have their own experiences to share. I am able to be myself. I am able to share what I know about life, about art. I can give of myself, and I don’t feel like I have to protect myself. I look forward to life.

Living is very complex. I have come to believe a just do it response to living works far better than my old approach. May this help.
