THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE HUMAN

My hair is short.

👱

I don’t shampoo it.

I don’t always wear a bra.

I usually keep my nails cut short.

I like wearing black eyeliner.

👁

I will spend a lot of money on good shoes and jackets.

I get Botox sometimes.

I’ve thought about getting some form of plastic surgery but haven’t.

🤷

I don’t eat sugar.

🚫

I like Indian food and Mexican food.

🍛
🌮

I used to overeat and have an unhealthy relationship with food.

Now I’m noticing old patterns in this area returning.

🤔

I love driving my motorbike and singing to my headphones very loud.

🎶

I drive fast.

I like to go out dancing to house music, and

💃

I will drink soda water instead of alcohol.

I meditate most mornings.

🧘‍♀️

I am a Reiki Master Teacher.

I love Jesus and Buddha both.

✝️
☸️

I help others in many ways, mainly as a life coach and as an AA member.

🤝

Helping others is the biggest and best thing in my life.

😍

I wish I had discovered the power of service earlier, but I wasn’t ready.

I have a lot of flaws.

💩

I can be people-pleasing, lazy, judgmental, pessimistic, resentful, self-pitying, and get overwhelmed.

😬

Although I haven’t drank alcohol or used mind or mood-altering substances for a long time,

💪

most of my life has been colored with some form of addiction, obsession, compulsion.

I’ve had a lot of relationship issues.

💔

I’ve used people as drugs.

🙎‍♂️

I’ve used myself.

I want a healthy romantic relationship where me and my partner have mutual respect, admiration, and trust.

💖

I have never had that before.

I am practicing self-respect, self-trust, and acknowledging the good things about me.

🤗

And cultivating self-compassion.

I’m saying all this to paint a picture of me, 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲.

I am not all good or all bad. I have strengths and flaws.

I have things that will annoy some people, and

these same things others will love.

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

The right person for me will accept it all.

🙏

I’m open to that person entering my life.

🤩

In the meantime, I want to remember myself.

👸

I don’t need to change to try and please others.

🙅‍♀️

The right person for me will love all of the things, or at least accept me despite them.

I can’t please everyone.

I can’t do enough to please the wrong person.

I will never be enough for them.

😩

I get to love and accept myself and make choices that support self-love.

❣️
❣️

Others will follow.

Some will not, and that’s ok too.

✌️
☮️

Nothing is personal.

Everyone only sees their own projections of others.

🪞

I have never truly seen anyone.

I am your projection. You are mine.

So what do I choose to see today?

👀

Will I take everyone’s views on as personal, or can I be like Teflon and let others’ opinions of me slide right off?

🍳

It depends on the day.

🤷‍♀️

And that’s ok.

I’m ok today.

🥰️

How about you?

🧐

Always here for you

😘
