I love it.

" None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Walk in the ocean. Say the truth you are carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There's no time for anything else" Anthony Hopkins

My mantra of December

Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Love is creative and redemptive. Love builds up and unites; hate tears down and destroys. The aftermath of the ‘fight with fire’ method which you suggest is bitterness and chaos, the aftermath of the love method is reconciliation and creation of the beloved community. Physical force can repress, restrain, coerce, destroy, but it cannot create and organize anything permanent; only love can do that. Yes, love—which means understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill, even for one’s enemies—is the solution to the race problem. —Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957
But the end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community. It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opposers into friends. The type of love that I stress here is not eros, a sort of esthetic or romantic love; not philia, a sort of reciprocal love between personal friends; but it is agape which is understanding goodwill for all men. It is an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return. It is the love of God working in the lives of men. This is the love that may well be the salvation of our civilization. from “The Role of the Church in Facing the Nation's Chief Moral Dilemma,” 1957

This is why I left the abusive people.

No amount of security is worth the suffering of a mediocre life chained to a routine that has killed your dream. - Maya Mendoza.
If you ever feel heartbroken, you know degraded, alone and invisible, regardless of how seemingly "small" the reason, you can breathe deeply into the emptiness. It will not be easy at first but you will go there because nowhere else has any significance to you now. So you will reluctantly breathe into what you fear is an abyss in your soul-a fundamental crack in your constitution, an unhealable scab. As you breathe there and keep breathing there, not because you want to but because you are desperate to know it, you will eventually find this odd nectar underneath that buried shame, fear and anger. It will be like striking gold and you'll keep breathing and breathing into a place in your own heart reserved just for moments like these. You may tell yourself you opened your heart too quickly at times (and too slowly at others) but you can't dictate the speed of your love. You can only stay with it and stay with yourself, when there's nowhere else that feels safe. The nectar you find will be healing and you will want to hang out with it. It will let you let go of the outcome of your love out there and receive the income of your love in here. - Chaya Grossberg

"One of the most attractive qualities in a person is acceptance. Acceptance of themselves and acceptance of you. If you can admit that nobody belongs here more than you (while maintaining the belief that you don't belong here any more than anyone else) you will find yourself making connections with people in powerful ways."

Thank Chatree, that is pretty awesome.
