thoughts change us - plant each thought with intention- be self aware

"Tendency to avoid the discomfort that comes..."

Guilty.

Do you guys feel like there are so many ‘yous’ like parts of you that it’s hard to see yourself clearly? Sometimes I don’t know who I am 😔

[mrmonk in reply to Starrlight]

I've reached the perhaps unpopular conclusion that I am my emotional feelings -- both constant and changing, beautiful and wretched.

Emotional feeling is like the DNA of the soul.

[Starrlight in reply to mrmonk]

This really made me think.

[mrmonk in reply to Starrlight]

One important caveat is that mental illness can distort, warp, amplify, mute, and invent feeling, and, like a funhouse mirror, can make it hard to see yourself clearly and accurately.

I agree so much with your statement! I think that a person who is depressed or feels self-hatred should be wary of trying to 'see themselves as they really are'. The sickness is going to tell them lies.

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to mrmonk]

That’s why I need other people. They can be my mirrors when I can’t see through the fog.

It sounds like a bit of heaven.

I'll see if I can find a photo online of the place I used to go every summer.

I looooooove loosing myself in nature too.

I am really experiencing my bipolar part of me today. I wish to escape it but maybe I can learn to better work with it… as I talk to myself…🥹

When I was young, Dad would take me here. It used to have a kiddie amusement park with a tiny ferris wheel overlooking the waterfall.

Feed me or I'll bite. 😊

Hi sweet boy!

At your new home?

[Nothing_but_books]

That's torture. I bet it's beer batter too.

I want some now.

[Arymretep]

[Nothing_but_books]

Welcome. She's lovely. Here's her boyfriend. Hitting the road after the deed is done. 🤣

See you later babe.

[Starrlight]

ha! Let me find a good video I’ll get back to ya

[LilyAnnepuppy]

Seeing myself perfectly how I am is impossible. Perfect self awareness, for me, is unattainable. I can only do the best I can with whatever abilities I have at the moment. And I am always limited in my ability to see myself.

As long as I keep trying, I’m good. Improvement and growth comes from my spiritual journey. Not religion, but a spiritual quest. I am a spiritual being in a human body

I know that sounds a little “out there,” so please feel free to disregard. ❤️

[Starrlight in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Your spiritual quest and spiritual being in a human body I can so relate to. And to the not being able to fully see myself and needing others to help me see… Not out there at all for me. I appreciate you. ❤️

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Starrlight]

Back at ‘ya.

[Vasiliki99]
