I know, how great is that?

@Charlotte You're so welcome

And you know that for a fact, do you? I mean sure, that's a possibility, but don't state it as a fact when it's just your belief.

I haven't experienced this specifically, but I have noticed weird phenomena at times - like dark blips or vortices in my peripheral vision, one time I remember seeing numerous tadpole-like shapes. Never quite sure what to make of it, wondering if it signifies some sort of spiritual phenomenon or if I'm just having a stroke. I was thinking about this just the other day, wasn't this when you said to hands, 'Why are you scaring the shit out of me?', and they replied something like, 'It's because we love you'? Don't know what made me think about it but it made me laugh

A point I heard in a Teal Swan video recently (this one, for reference) is that we can very easily take for granted the things we do well, because they come so easily and naturally to us - I think there's so much truth in that. Sometimes it's easier for other people to see our strengths

Fuck, I think that might just be the hottest thing I've seen all year

That's the cutest thing ever

@Gianna The universe has a lovely sense of timing sometimes, doesn't it? Enjoy the rest of your weekend too, lovely

@Gianna And that, my darling soul sister, is why I love you

As soon as you accept that you can't, you can

I'm so, so sorry you had to go through this ordeal, Charlotte, that must have been so horribly frightening and upsetting for you I love you, my darling.

It's not something you can really force, either you do or you don't feel love for everyone and everything. And if you can't, that's all right too - I mean, fuck, that's you and practically everyone else on the planet. But if you can't, can you accept that you can't? Can you accept whatever you happen to be feeling right now, in this moment, even if it's irritation, or anger, or hatred, or anything else other than love?

@Marcel Well, you certainly sound wise to me, my friend

You might find this thread of use :

@Marcel Interesting, thank you!

Ah man, I told myself I'd limit myself to one song a day, but this one's just come on and I have to share it - David Gilmour's guitar-playing speaks to my soul like no other, and I just love his voice, too:

@Marcel You're wise beyond your years, my friend - I love you, bro

Very interesting, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the subject! The colour yellow makes me think of the solar plexus chakra, though I'm weird like that

I'd love to know who dreamt up that video, and what exactly they were smoking at the time

@Preety_India Thanks! I'm listening to so much music at the moment that it's hard to pick just one, but this is the one I'm feeling at the moment, bit of a change of pace from the last one:

Ain't that just the truth

Fuck, I love this quote! I'm so glad that things are starting to turn around for you, Marcel, I know how hard things have been for you. I understand you feeling humiliated by your vulnerability, I spilled my guts on another forum a few years back and then cringed at myself for revealing too much (or at least, so I believed), but other people often have much more compassion for us than we have for ourselves. It seems paradoxical, but expressing our vulnerability can take so much strength - and the funny thing is, when you allow yourself to be completely vulnerable, you realise that you're actually invulnerable. Life's fucked up like that, but it's fucked up in such a beautiful way

When I read your threads, Gianna, it makes me think that love wields a sword - and it'll eviscerate you, but it does it so lovingly Because love's lover is the naked truth
