I want a quiet life. Calm mornings. Sipping coffee alone. Walks in nature. Working on my purpose. Chilling with 2 people. Seeking meaning. Contemplating on things that matter. Growing a little everyday. A slow peaceful quiet life. That'll do.

Break norms. The world is getting fast. Become slow. Intentional. Aware. Do things that feel right in your soul. Don't chase stimulation. Chase stillness. Chase meaning. Chase a calm mind and a calm life. Build a life that feels like your own. Depth over noise. Always.

Intentionally reconnecting to who we are & what we're all about, every day, multiple times a day, is a core discipline in realistic CPTSD recovery. Our recovery is most vulnerable when we're on autopilot, letting the day run us, or letting others determine our focus. Check in.

Schools are meant to support families, not replace them. That means parents need to actually parent, and the govt & communities need to stop treating schools as the fix for bad parenting. Educators who think otherwise might be influenced a bit too much by “teacher hero” movies.

We often avoid facing what’s important by excelling at what’s unimportant.

This is the kindness we need right now.❤️

The hardest part of growth is realizing most people around you aren’t growing. Move forward at all costs.

No matter the species, it’s still a child and watching it enjoy itself is so adorable 🥹❤️

Being an adult does not grant anyone the right to mistreat others. Maturity and growth do not equate to the permission to bully or intimidate. Bullying is neither a necessary experience of adulthood nor an acceptable behavior among grown individuals.

I like low-key chilling. No crowds. No clubs. No bars. Just 2 people having deep conversations. About life. About love. About living. About the meaning of it all. That's what I crave. Things that matters. Things that helps me grow. Things that speak to my soul.

Normalize trusting your intuition. When your body says no to a situation, person, or place – trust it and remove yourself immediately.

Building the life you want, day after day, is the only therapy you need.

Some people love the old version of you. Because the old version didn't make them feel behind.

Trauma isn't just about what happened. It's also about what didn't happen, like not being heard, supported, comforted, protected, or believed.

The best revenge is to move on, get over it, and continue to succeed. Never give someone the satisfaction of watching you suffer.

Smarter people are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression.

What toxicity can look like at work: - Exclusion and isolation - Extreme micro-management - An environment of gaslighting & backstabbing - Complete failure to recognise or reward good work, making you question yourself - Toleration of workplace bullying and mobbing

Some of the most generous people have no money. Some of the wisest people have no education. Some of the kindest people were hurt the most.

Be happy with the ordinary. If you can’t find peace in a quiet cup of coffee, no amount of fame, wealth, or status will ever feel enough. Learn to sit with yourself first. Doing nothing. No distractions. No stimulation. Just you. Let the restlessness settle. Let your mind slow
