Having a good relationship with yourself is so important and I can agree that it can only be achieved in solitude. Alone with all your thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Social media was created so innocently but turned dark so fast. It’s a trap. A trap of wanting to be someone else. Feeling bad for who we are since not all of us are picture perfect. Us feeling unaccomplished and an unjust feeling of failure. Thank you for sharing.

I agree. Social media can make you feel so much worse or if you are not doing enough in your life. I often take social media breaks they are refreshing for Me and a good way to stay grounded.

Agreed! I think people are just starting to take the impact of social media seriously, realizing that we all need a time to unplug and recharge. People often don’t want to be alone with their thoughts, but sometimes that’s what we need to learn about who we are, where we’re from, and where we want to go. But at the same time, makeup artists on…read more

I think a lot of those feelings of comparison and low self-esteem come from people just like us feeling so insecure about themselves that they try to perfect their skin, bodies, words, life ect. And it just got oversaturated in content to the point where it became “normal” to fake it online and in turn make others feel bad about themselves. I even…read more

To live in a world Thai isn’t so digital. To have organic relations and conversations. To have true connections that isn’t through a screen. Thank you so much for sharing.

Mavis, it has taken some time for me feel comfortable speaking and living out loud but I had to realize that in order for change to begin, the change has to start with me. I’m grateful to God for this gift of being able to touch and reach others with my words and if you are the one person I’ve reached, I thank God especially for you! Thank you!

What you speak of is a utopian that I hope one day we can experience. I agree that every deserves a decent place to lay their head and a simple compliment can change someone’s day.

I hate to say it but in high school I had no idea what love was. My parents never showed me how to treat the man you love. It was nothing but yelling and cursing each other out. Now as a married woman i cherish love with all my might.

The cold chills from hearing Gandhis quote is because it’s speaking to your soul. You can feel it in your bones what you need to do. The chills is the body acknowledging the truth.

I have always said it takes a tragedy to change people’s minds on what they believe. It’s always been that way. By the time they realize that they need to be the change it’s so bad that the pivot and walk the other way.

Hello Mavis,
I appreciate your patience in waiting for my reply, as I’ve been a tad bit too busy for my liking lately. At any rate, I couldn’t agree with you more. Once people realize the world needs to take a massive shift in direction, or the necessity to completely change the course of humanity. It’s nearly too late because we have been trave…read moreWrite me back Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Your poem is so inspiring. Especially for raising the next generation of men. I have 2 boys and at the age of 2 their grand parents say he’s too big to be crying. At 2! It’s so frustrating. Yes they deserve flowers too. They deserve to show emotion without judgement.

At 32 the men around Me were still crying and Im sure your Grandparents cried at 42 and 52 and so on and so forth. We have to come to grips with the reality of dropping “gender specific roles and behaviors”, we are all human and allowed to express ourselves positively as such. Keep allowing them the space to cry, to be tucked in to express…read more

I say this often but every thing will pass. I heard a quote once that said “in hard times. This too shall pass in good times. This too shall pass. Opened my eyes to not sit helplessly in a hard time but to also be so grateful for the good times. Nothing last forever. Emotions are temporary. They ebb and flow.
