You are either "saved" as a damsel in distress...

or you live long enough to become a warrioress.

In both cases, you win and you learn.

Walk your path with confidence;

what has to happen, will.

I love this post. The world needs more encouragement.💖

As for myself, I learned only we can save ourselves and change is an inside job through deep introspection. 🗝️

It's awesome that you used the lotus, as that's what I call my growth... Lotus Mode. You're more than welcome to post in the group I created.🪷🌿

I’ve lived long enough, but all I know is I’m battle weary.

in all honesty it feels from the outside looking in like women aren't winning at anything these days. i'm sad about it but I don't suffer the way they do.

@PDXNative1986 Then, many just people, like you, have to step in and take important positions that can actually make concrete changes to improve the justice in this world.

@Busybee333 Way ahead of you. I did my part to keep it legal here in oregon but there are limits on how much I can do. locally? yeah. it's in my court but nationally there's not a lot I can do a bout the bigger picture. I've always been a feminist I jsut turned into a hellraiser in later life who was vvery vocal about it. first I watched then I raised my voice in anger.

@PDXNative1986 Being brave enough to fight (intelligently) is admirable! Every little action counts - if more people are inspired to take little (important) actions within their communities, the world will shift so fast! Courage! Rock by rock, one day you'll look back and see the mountain you have moved! 😎

I lived a lot of my life wanting to be saved. The truth is no one is ever going to save anyone. Being saved requires internal work.

Busybee333 · 31-35, F

@Angelwarfare YES :) You can grow, shine and outshine the challenges!

This is beautiful!

@MrsBeau I agree. I love this one. Lots of <3

We all need to be saved sometimes, but it's also important to be able to fight your own battles.

How do you learn from being saved?

Busybee333 · 31-35, F

@Thevy29
You are saved by someone.. by discovering new ups and downs together, you learn lessons about you, them, life.

I pretty much just stayed a loser....

Busybee333 · 31-35, F

@originnone As long as your heart beats, you can change your life.

@Busybee333 I'd rather just end it...

@originnone
There is something in life worth fighting for, always.
End only the [u]habits that no longer serve you[/u] and your life will shift in a flash.
There is always something worth smiling for as well.
Keep your head up and your gaze forward.
You can overcome, anything.
