Comforting Thought: Vibrant Relationships

“Vibrant relationships
feel like a sanctuary
where you are safe
to bring your vulnerability
and you are given ample love and care
a home
that equally supports
rest and growth
free from judgment
as you both seek to evolve
a union
void of control
but filled with
mutual understanding”

Comforting Thought: Other people’s opinion of you doesn’t matter

“it is easier to let go
of someone’s opinion of you
when you understand
that others see you through
a combination of their past conditioning
and their current emotional state
without realizing it,
they see themselves first,
and through that lens they get
an unclear picture of you”
