so raw, so eloquent, so beautiful. thank you for the reminder that any sort of success isn't a place where we "arrive" and that's it. your success is always. your success is now. your success is your pure heart and honesty and authenticity and continuous evolution of self. to witness you is a blessing. nothing to prove indeed.
thank you so much for this, it’s truly a blessing and has talked about the exact things I am experiencing and felt alone in (most notably lashing out at loved ones similar to when I was little), thank you so much for making feel less alone and for reminding me that life is to be lived messily and thats what makes it great 💖
thank you for this mimi! i really resonated with this- the concept of having nothing to prove sounds so simple, but it is so ingrained in us to constantly be perfect and to achieve. so excited for what 2023 has in store!
"i fell in romantic love with a dear friend of mine, and i was challenged to look at myself with a mirror that i had left in the dust for many years. i had to confront some of the toxicities that still flow through generations of my bloodline; the very specific habits that only come up when i am intertwined in romance and am triggered by jealousy or a need to control my circumstances to not get hurt.” Thank you. So well said, so exactly-what-I-need-mirrored-back-at-me right now.
So powerful, thank you for sharing this. Growing up in an immigrant family, I measured my self-worth solely by my achievements. It took many years of healing and expansion to realise that the love and approval we seek is actually within us.
thank you so much for sharing this, and thank you for everything you’ve created this year. i love your art so much it’s done a lot for my creativity and my healing.
"i thought that the release of my book would mean the release of a lot of my shadows. i thought my self-esteem would exist at a constant high, and that my anxieties about stability and safety would be settled. i thought that i had written a book about love, so suddenly i had to be the expert on it. i held myself to an impossble standard, just because of something i had accomplished." I had to quote this part because I loved it so freaking much. I can relate on so many levels. I felt every word. Thank you. For generously sharing what is on your mind. It takes courage. You encouraged me to write today. So, thank you.
