How can one be surrounded by beauty and feel ugly...

@being Comparison is the quickest way to lose joy

@Silentpleasure yes exactly...

@Silentpleasure it blinds you from the real truth. We're all connected. But sometimes we become separated. We're all beautiful but sometimes we feel ugly

@being You raise a very good point. Gives me something to think about now.

@Silentpleasure I still feel lonely at times but I'm working on it
.. either accept it that that's my truth for the moment and let it be, without making it bigger than it is (eg oh I'm always and forever alone)
..by reminding myself to not be greedy.. I'm having my interactions and connections in time and doesn't have to be a constant thing
.. and to take action about it.. initiate a conversation, ask someone out that it feels easier to connect to, seek communities with common activities that makes it easier..a local choir, an exercise/dance/martial arts group, etc etc things I worked and continue working with.
But I'd say the game changer for me has been, apart from reaching out, reaching into myself. Affirmations and meditation, self care routines and journaling and most importantly, taking it easy...
I used to assign so much expectations to relationships.. now I'm trying to fully and truly enjoy what comes and what I'm given..
Sorry I wrote a lot..:)

@Silentpleasure well I don't want to accept much credits as I do have my oscillations and bad periods still where I'm finding myself in terrible darkness, but I've outgrown a cyclone at least 🌀 I can accept this 🦄
