Embracing Absence: A Reflection on Self-Worth and Letting Go
It is many times said that failing to remember somebody can be pretty much as simple as a temporary second. However, I view myself longing for the capacity as forgotten simply by somebody whose lack of concern punctures further than any words could.

Random Thoughts
As I took a few minutes to breath after an emotional day, I stared up at the clouds blowing across the horizon. Earlier I had been so blissfully happy. I had joked with Mom and laughed so hard that I was almost embarrassed by my childlike joy out in public. Halfway through that trip to the store, I distanced myself from Mom and calmed myself down. Remembering how if I acted like that, no one would take me seriously and that no guy will touch me if I am overly joyous combined with how young I look. Or at least that was what /he/ said again and again...

From meditation apps to wellness retreats, the practice promises a path to inner peace amidst the chaos. But what lies beneath the surface of this practice?
