Beautiful, just beautiful... Such wisdom... ? This whole thread is just wonderful, Gianna, thanks so much for sharing

That is so freaking weird, I was thinking earlier today that I'd call my daughter Grace if I ever had one! Always loved the idea of having a son called Michael too, always liked the way it sounded for some reason! I've just googled the meaning of the name Michael (I'm weird like that) and apparently it means, 'Who is like God?' or 'Gift from God', and Michael appears most prominently in the Bible in the Book of Daniel, which seems appropriate for me

I remember when I was going through a really hard time a few years back, I'd ask myself when I was really struggling: 'What do I need in this moment?' Because I came to realise that I'd gotten into the habit of neglecting my own needs, though it took for me to be in a really bad way before I understood that. Just asking yourself the question can help you to become more aware of your needs.

@Gianna Stop it, you're killing me! ???

Preach, sister

?????

@Charlotte It really is ??? Almost feels overwhelming at times, it makes me think of a line out of 'American Beauty': I guess the key is to know that we are this beauty, that it's not something that's apart from us

This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing ?

Deep contemplations, Charlotte, I love that I especially love what you said here: So beautiful ???

?????

Damn straight, bro, damn straight! ???

@Marcel 'Je suis un table' - I mean, do you really need any more French than that? ?

@Preety_India Nein! I learnt French at school! (I don't really know French either ?)

@Preety_India Oh but Preety, you haven't lived until you've eaten a Chilli Heatwave Dorito, they're da bomb!

@Flowerfaeiry Thanks for sharing, I love Emma McAdams' 'Therapy In A Nutshell' channel, she's amazing!!

@Gianna ???

Fuck, not the point I know but I've a sudden craving for Doritos.. ... yep, I'm suddenly feeling ravenous ?

I'm so, so sorry to hear that, my love ? I love you so much, my darling, take really good care of yourself - there's no rush to do anything at times like this if you don't feel like it, be really kind to yourself ?

@Gianna Wowwww... I don't think I'd have ever interpreted the song as a message from my inner child, but that makes so much sense to me, I love that! It's devastatingly beautiful when you put it like that... Sounds like the universe is speaking to you loud and clear at the moment, darl, and the nice thing is that you're available to hear it

@Gianna

Yes! I think so too, that's such a lovely moment ? And such a lovely song, too! Reminds me of when I was having a really hard time, I was walking down the street one day and this guy's blasting music out of his car, and I hear this one line: 'These wounds are all self-imposed, life's no disaster' (from a song called 'Waltzing Along', by the band James who I absolutely love). It was like the universe was giving me a sorely-needed reminder
