It's easy to feel uncared for when people aren't able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it's so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they're doing doesn't even cross their mind. They aren't inherently bad or uncaring-they're just busy and self-focused. And that's okay. It's not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesn't make you unloveable or invisible. It just means that those people aren't very good at looking beyond their own world. But the fact that you are that despite the darkness you feel, you have the ability to share your love and light with others-is a strength. Your work isn't to change who you are; it's to find people who are able to give you the connection you need. Because despite what you feel, you are not too much. You are not too sensitive or too needy. You are thoughtful and empathetic. You are compassionate and kind. And with or without anyone's acknowledgement or affection, you are enough. Daniell Koepke Have a blessed Sunday.

I am tired folks! I am tired of the hate, the division, the separation that has been created. Can we just try accepting and respecting each other for a while? Can we try allowing other's to make their own choice and still be supportive. Can we try not 'fixing' others and allow them to be their authentic self? Can we each try to live our own lives the best we can? Can we try disagreeing and still be friends? Can we try honoring each others strengths instead of looking for their weaknesses? Can we try showing each other kindness, compassion and love? CAN WE TRY just a little harder to understand that we are all connected? CAN WE try just a little harder to make a positive difference in each others lives and in this complicated beautiful world?!! CAN WE??!! Can we DO it?!

This quote reflects a mature and loving approach to relationships. It’s not about harboring resentment or ill feelings but about recognizing your worth and creating space for those who truly value and uplift you. Distance doesn’t mean a lack of care; it’s an act of self-love and kindness, both towards yourself and others. By setting boundaries, you foster healthier, more positive connections that nurture your well-being. This way, you remain open-hearted and compassionate, while also protecting your peace and happiness. True love and kindness start with valuing yourself and surrounding yourself with those who do the same.

Unconditional love starts with yourself. If we want others to support us and give us praise - look first inside you. Are you doing that for you? Part of living to your greatness will always start with how you treat yourself. So how are you treating yourself? So often we can be critical of others, I know that the criticism to myself or that person on the inside is 10X that of what they are pouring out. Stop criticising

🌺 "Ending a relationship is an act of kindness rather than something that is abusive, selfish, or immoral" 🌺 ********************************** 🤷 If we love someone else, 🤷 If we need to be alone, 👉 Or 🤷 If for whatever reason we can no longer live our truth within the confines of a relationship.... 💁 We must all be granted the freedom to walk away from it with dignity..... 🤷 Without being seen as abandoning our partner, 👉 Or 🔨 Breaking a sacred vow. 🙆 Selfishness is keeping an unwilling partner trapped. 💁 It is coercing someone to stay with us through threats and emotional manipulation. 💁 Leaving someone whom we once loved, 🫴 Or 💕 Even still love, 🤷 It takes a great deal of courage, 💁 And that kind of bravery is rarely recognized. 🤦 We praise those who can muster the strength to leave abusive situations, 🙆 But condemn those who part ways because we have evolved out of a relationship. 🤦 Unfortunately this judgment prevents so many individuals from moving forward emotionally and spiritually. 🙍 Because to leave would be to face judgment, to be called a bad person. 🤷 Instead of the understanding and compassion that both uncoupled partners need. 👩❤️👨 Real love is fluid and expansive. 🧬 Love evolves and shifts over time. 🌺 As someone rightly said “love never fails,” but sometimes, between two people, it moves on". 🌺 💁 We must allow this to happen freely for ourselves, 😊 Our partners, 😊 Our loved ones, 🎦 Without projecting our own expectations or judgment upon them. #toxicrelationships #shamingcouples #holdingontotoxicrelationships #societysjudgement #seperationisataboo

My Surname is “Power” Yes, my surname is “Power.” I was born with it. I’ve grown up and grown older with it. It is a blessing and a responsibility for which I am sometimes not prepared. I’m also short. Both can be a hindrance or a help to respect (self- or from others). Some people challenge just because of my name. Others are certain I changed it from something else. A few even think I am too pressed down, patted flat, and made light of. The challenge is really this: I own my personal power and Power. I’ve spent a lot of time and thought on the issue of power, what it is, how people develop or acquire it, and how it is used. The right use of power (or Power). I’ve come to believe it is, for me, to take actions that promote the greatest good and highest call for all involved. The catch is, what do I believe is the greatest good? Do I have the right or the obligation to define that for others? Is the answer to any of these arrogance or humility? If I say it’s humility, does it become arrogance? It’s delicate. How to exercise influence. How to gracefully back up when you don’t need to fight. How to identify and do the right thing, the thing that promotes Love. How to Light up a room even when the electricity is off (and the Power is still on). Names matter. Power, and how it is used, matters.

Before a man gets emotionally attached, it is usually a long and complicated route. Eventually, they fall in love and remain committed to their prospective partner. The reason is that they hardly own up to their feelings directly. Instead, they use different signs to show that they are interested in you. It is important to learn that they become emotionally linked when they notice some impressive signs in a prospective partner. For instance, if a man sees someone who acts as a support system, he could get emotionally attached because the person is there for them through thick and thin. Another factor that makes a man emotionally attached is when you become vulnerable with them. This subtly nudges the guy to become vulnerable, making him emotionally attached in the long run. Also, another answer to what makes men emotionally attached is when you show gratitude. Showing appreciation for any little thing that a man does will get him thinking about you. He will realize that you are different from the rest because of your ability to show gratitude. When it comes to how to make a man emotionally attached, not acting selfish and entitled makes a man love you for your outstanding nature.

Happy Sunday everyone.. On this most sacred of days what is the one thing that you want in your life? Each day that passes I realize I want two things in my life more than anything else: Peace and love... Well, maybe three things because I also want Mexican food, but you know... I want peace and love. I want friendships that aren’t fragile. I want relationships that aren’t volatile. I want people in my life where the connection between us isn’t delicate—where it isn’t easily broken. Where you trust me and I trust you and things are talked out. I want it all as comfortable as possible…like sweatpants that are worn in and cozy and allows room for growth and grace in the same way drawstrings work. I don’t want misunderstandings, bitterness, or anger, or awkwardness with anyone that rob us of relationships. I want peace and love.. I have learned finding peace is about confronting things head-on. It’s about asking good questions. It’s about listening. It’s about keeping my ridiculous knee-jerk reactions to myself. It’s about refusing to brush the difficult stuff under the rug and pretend it doesn’t exist until that rug becomes a mountain in-between me and my friends. It’s about talking things out and approaching every situation with kindness first. And finding love isn't all about attractiion but looking past the expectations of perfection and soaking in all the essence of chemistry that is outside our realm of understanding. So on this last weekend of July 2024 the things I want most for myself and for others is peace and love ❤️ And tacos and stuff, obviously🫠 #peaceandlove #positivity #loveoneanother #blessings #Sundaythoughts

Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest. If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us. To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do. Hermann Hesse Quotes

🌸🗣️ Kindness doesn't mean silence; set boundaries with grace. It's okay to voice discomfort, stating, 'I'm not okay with what just happened.' Understanding your limits is a powerful act of self-respect, saying, 'That crossed a boundary of mine, and I will not tolerate it.' Compassion isn't surrender; it's choosing self-preservation, expressing, 'I'm not going to allow this anymore.' Embrace the strength in kindness, understanding, and compassion—it's not about being agreeable, but about valuing your well-being. Speak your truth with love, setting boundaries that protect your peace. 🌈💪 #KindnessWithBoundaries #SelfRespect #CompassionateStand #SpeakYourTruth #SettingBoundaries #HealthyBoundaries #EmpowermentInExpression #RespectfulCommunication
