“The year of letting go
Of understanding loss, grace of the word ‘no’
And also being able to say ‘you are not kind’
The year of humanity/humility
When the whole world couldn’t get out of bed
Everyone I’ve met this year says the same thing
‘You are so easy to be around, how do you do that?’
The year I broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands
The year I learnt small talk
And how to smile at strangers
The year I understood that I am my best when I reach out and ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’
The year of sugar, everywhere
Softness. sweetness. honey honey.
The year of being alone
And learning how much I like it
The year of hugging people I don’t know because I want to know them
The year I made peace and love
right here”
Warsan Shire (via sadexistences)

“i have loved and will continue to love deeply, but never desperately. i am the center of my life. i will never forget that the sources of love are plentiful, that there is kinlove and womanlove and friendlove and sisterlove, that these loves are a source of sustenance. may we keep our centers to ourselves, hold our own hearts in our hands, cultivate and appreciate love in all of its glorious manifestations.”

P.S. This exact method works for underarms, knees and your face (no more than 15-20 min on face)! Pretty much anywhere on the body! And instead of Vaseline, try a cleaner, all-natural oil, butter or lotion of your choice.

“Whatever you vibrate, you manifest and attract to your Self. So, you work on healing your Self in order to manifest tranquility around you. You become tranquility. If there is conflict living within you, you cannot live in a world of tranquility. The world mirrors back the condition of your love and of your intent. If the world that you are living in is not a world that is at peace, then you have to discover peace within your Being. The shaman no longer searches for meaning in life, but brings meaning to every situation. The shaman stops searching for truth and brings truth to every encounter. You do not search for the ideal partner, you become the ideal partner. Then the ideal partner discovers you. This is an active practice focused on interdimensional healing.”
