My most affordable healing therapy. These are Mary earrings. Mary has been helping me tremendously on my journey. Even my doctors are blessed by her. I wanted to honor that.
Although there is so much evil in this world, I am focusing on good things and good people who saved my life. There is a choice you can make between resentment and gratitude. I want to stick to what makes me happy not sad. I am practicing art of living in the divine will. I, too, belong to the flower family just like roses and lilies. I just bloom late and in the most unlikely place. I am a mystic plant so may not fit into your IKEA vase. But I still want you to look at me and tell me I am beautiful That’s the flower in me… “Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water's surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly.” -Sarah Jio but beautiful…
In my dream, I was one of the Goonies and on our way to set out on an adventure, I was asked to tell each Goonies members what good qualities he had and I really enjoyed doing it because it was my specialty. All this time, somebody was staring at me with a smile. He was their uncle or something but it didn’t feel creepy. He said that he liked me because I was very positive. I fell in love with him as still a young girl. I liked how matured he sounded. I woke up and looked up “The Goonies.” It was quite a long ago when I watched it so I completely forgot what it was all about. Basically, it was about “rejects”…rejected by museums and popular kids. It all makes sense now.
“I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived.”- Ursula K. Le Guin "The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality." Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Life consists of events that don't necessarily make a whole lotta sense. It's because they are not supposed to mean much on their own. The only thing that matters is how you're soul is transformed and expanded through them. So whether good or bad, do not give them too much power. Do not get carried away. They shall all pass. What you gotta do is not to lose your soul while this strange dream lasts. “I like to dive into a dream world that I’ve made, a world I chose and that I have complete control over.” David Lynch
The other day, I asked my 8year old nephew Sean "Why do you like Bobo so much? I am just Azooma (an old woman)" He replied "Because you are super FUNNY!" I loved the fact that my whole complicated existence was summed up in such a simple adjective. He obviously has no idea what I am going through now but does it really matter? I am the funny one and I will be forever rememered that way.
God constantly asks “Who are you?” and if you manage to answer it, he teaches you one or two more new things about you. Not everyone is open to this conversation. A person with PhD degree doesn’t necessarily know (or scared to find out) who he really is because once you acquire that knowledge, you just can’t live against it and it may not be coherent with your ego…your desire to fit in. Believe me. It’s not very pleasant to feel “unfit”. Actually, it’s mortifying. I am not proud. I am not bragging about it. I’d rather want you to treat me like everyone else. I want what everyone else has. I want a comfortable life even if it’s false and fake. But then, next time God throws me the exact same question, I will have to hide my ass. I will have to create lies after lies. It will be too much work too. So…I don’t know. In the meantime, I really like myself. I agree my life is shit but me as a human being is out-fucking-standing. My vision is soooo great that sometimes I see gold where there’s shit. I might be a misfit but I am perfectly fit for my own mission…very specific and unique. Nobody else can do it but me. Therefore, I want to keep living as me…following my own values, timeline and north star…the loneliest yet the brightest. “No I don’t want you to grieve for me & my misery because that’s my fuckin’ privilege.
I wish to go into my cave and quietly indulge while watching Youtube.” -INFP proverb- I am walking on this muddy road silently…with grace, dignity and faith. I pick up the pieces and move on to the next destination. I am both weaker and stronger than ever. I love the woman I am becoming…an untroubled goddess amidst the worst avalanche. The devil didn’t see it coming. “The pilgrim is humble and devout, and human, and charitable, and ready to smile and admire; therefore, he should comprehend the whole of his way, the people in it, and the hills and the clouds, and the habits of the various cities.” Hilaire Belloc Between doctors' appointments, I went to the Everest, a Nepalese restaurant in Seoul. I was supposed to be in the arms of Mother Annapurna by now. I guess I desperately needed Dal Bhat power but I choked on tears at the first bite.
“The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven Do not resist. Simply learn to be resilient. “The all-pervading energy source of existence or Shakti manifests itself as creation. Shakti is the divine mother who gives birth to and nurtures the newborn-whether it is a newborn babies, a brand new relationship, a fresh idea, or a magical manifestation. Although Shakti is beyond the boundaries of gender, form or color, we call It Mother because of its mothering and creative qualities.” -Deepak Chopra-
“Following your own star means isolation, not knowing where to go, having to find out a completely new way for yourself instead of just going on the trodden path everybody else runs along. That's why there's always been a tendency in humans to project the uniqueness and the greatness of their own inner self onto outer personalities and become the servants, the devoted servants, admirers, and imitators of outer personalities. It is much easier to admire a great personality and become a pupil or follower of a guru or a religious prophet, or an admirer of a big, official personality - a President of the United States - or live your life for some military general whom you admire. That is much easier than following your own star.”
Marie-Louise von Franz, The Way of the Dream
“No matter what you do in life, just don’t be a SIMP. No bitch is worth SIMPing over.” -Boimian proverb-
“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.”
