Mirage of Emotions

The last two weeks in IPM have been an intense experience for me. I experienced a range of emotions from extreme joy to annoying confusion. I guess, jumping out of my daily activities, shook me up and pushed me to face the questions I managed to avoid so far.


There are no words that can actually capture my thoughts right now. I just know that at this very moment, as I type these mirage of words, I feel that I need to love myself more. I need to acknowledge more and more the value I create in this world and the value I create for myself. I realized, I should not expect others to love me if I cannot love myself just as much.


Right now, I feel at peace that life will work itself out. I am grateful to have gone through a tough thinking process. The thinking process made me appreciate myself and my life even more. I feel at peace.

    Hey!

    It's good you had the chance to go to IPM right now. All of us need to be pulled out of our everyday activities every once in a while. It helps us see more clearly.

    Whatever you decide to do in the future, whatever you choose to make of yourself, you can trust that I will be there for you. We might not always follow the same paths, but nevertheless, I will be here. With my heart and arms wide open :)

    That's friendship, right? It's always there when you need it.

    Hi Erica
    I feel like you have been at a crossroads for quite a while now.
    Your posts shout of uncertainty and more questions than answers.

    It may sound cliche but this is very normal. Life is full of uncertainties and the most important thing is how we deal with them.

    Here's a tip. Listen to Baz Luhrman's "Sunscreen" As in REALLY listen to it. I find different simple and yet powerful messages in it everytime I do.

    Hugs and Kisses
