#youarenotalone

Rodney Ibarra

I miss you, you wonderful human!

It has been five years today and it hasn’t gotten any easier. I say this every year and every year it remains the same. This year is no different from the past.

We too often take for granted that someone close to us is fighting their own silent battles. Dealing with demons that none of us may ever be privy to. We often never realize until it is too late, the pain that someone is going through.

Someone who was such a bright star to everyone around her, to everyone she met. Someone that was such an inspiration to everyone she talked to. A kick ass superstar of the New York EDM scene. An awesome person that will be missed by more than I know she realized.

Not a day goes by without a thought of you.

We miss you Andrea. I miss you. You were more than just a great friend. You were truly loved.

For those of you out there struggling with your own demons. Please don’t let the fight get the best of you. If you feel that suicide is your only option, please just stop and reach out for help. I know it is probably the hardest thing to do. But please!

Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you.

This is the #reality of #breastfeeding for me. You can probably see how happy and peaceful I feel when I get to actually nurse my #baby. But during the day, I have a hard time taking enough time for #pumping at #work and end up with #PumpAndDrive. Being hooked up to a machine while fighting traffic was not what I imagined #motherhood to look like but we do whatever to get through the day lol. Just wanted to share and tell other ladies on the same boat that #YouAreNotAlone! I bet we all look back and even this would become a good memory one day…..

Thoughts about the past have stolen thousands of hours of sleep from me over the years
✨
After waking up to the spiritual truth about my thinking I have slowly started to get reparations of my sleep hours
✨
What did you get from reading this thread?
✨
Loving you always 3P7F,LGTFM

Seeing the world through the smudged lenses of thought isn’t seeing the world - it’s seeing what you think the world is
✨
Cleaning the lenses through which you’re seeing the world means seeing the nature of thinking for what it actually is and allowing it to pass - this is what allows us to see the real world rather than the situations we create in our heads
✨
It’s easy to get swept up in thought and let it carry us to all kinds of crazy destinations where our worst fears exist and where our wildest fantasies tempt us and there’s nothing wrong with that
✨
But when our thinking gets the better of us that’s when it’s time to really slow down and clean our lenses to see the world clearly before we make permanent decisions✅

There’s no such thing as perfect it only exists when you want to use it as an excuse to avoid doing it now
✨
People refer to themselves as perfectionists but all I hear is insecurity born from the idea of putting themselves out there for the world to see
✨
We avoid change as though it’s gonna work - change is inevitable and the only thing that we’re avoiding with perfectionism is changing the way we see ourselves through the feedback we receive from the outside world
✨
There’s a big difference between being proud of the work we do and wanting it to be an accurate reflection of our skill level and putting it off to make it perfect
✨
We’re constantly evolving and so is our skill level so the work we publish now is exactly that - it’s what we’re doing right now - it doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re capable of with more practice✅
✨
Are you hiding behind the excuse of perfectionism?
✨

More often than not when I catch myself overthinking it’s because I am treating thought as though it isn’t thought
✨
But here’s the key - I don’t see it as a thought in the moment I see it as a real thing that needs to be worked on or changed
✨
It then takes on a life of its own and dominates my mind until I have to force myself into distraction and this is when I start looking for something to do with my thoughts to change the way I’m feeling but it’s all based on the misunderstanding that my thought is something other than thought
✨
When I can see thought for what it actually is then it loses all power over me and I can actually drop it but until then I will treat it as something that needs to be worked on and find myself lost in the movement of my thoughts forever distracted from the present
✨
There’s nothing to be done when we see thought for what it is, slow down and it will become clear
✨

Linger for longer is one of my favourite sayings now
✨
If you know your feelings come from your thoughts then you can choose to set the mind down instead of use it to analyse thought
✨
Of course it’s easier said than done and of course it’s gonna take time but letting go is the key to freeing yourself from the prison of the mind
✨
Thoughts aren’t real, they’re just passing through - doesn’t matter where they come from or where they’re going just let them be and they won’t disturb you
✨
I’m not talking about this from a place of mastery, I’m still on the journey and I still get caught out regularly chasing my thoughts and analysing them but I’m getting better at distancing myself from thought and it’s bringing me so much peace
✨
Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to, let it be
✨

People have a right not to like you!
✨
If you know you’re not for everyone and you actually embody it you’ll be ok with people not liking you
✨
When we try and avoid conflict we’re dimming our shine in the hopes that people will like us but why would we treat ourselves like that?
✨
The relationship we have with ourselves determines the relationship we will have with everything and everyone else in our lives - having a strong relationship with ourselves is what stops us from compromising our personal beliefs for the validation we may receive from others
✨
When you show up in the world fully expressed you will polarise people because you’re not here to be liked - some people will only like you if you do things that benefit them and if you don’t mind being a doormat then be my guest
✨
When you love the real you - you won’t need permission to be your real self
✨
Much love
✨

There’s a difference between seeing and thinking
✨
When you see something you get it on a DNA level, when you think something you’re looking at it on a superficial level
✨
The intellect is great for analysis and solving problems but sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing because nothing requires dropping the intellect and letting go of the desire to change how we’re feeling by “figuring it out”
✨
There’s nothing to figure out most of the time because we know what’s right for us and when someone’s time to leave is upon us attempting to figure it out is exactly what keeps us trapped in discomfort for longer
✨
When you’re holding a hammer everything looks like a nail - it’s the same with the intellect, when we’re constantly using it to figure stuff out everything looks like it can and should be figured out
✨
There’s no need to do so much
✨

You’re allowed to get it wrong sometimes
✨
You’re allowed to be a work in progress, you’re allowed to make mistakes and you’re allowed to be proud of your mistakes
✨
We weren’t born to be robots and the only way to create what we want is to try - getting it wrong is evidence of trying✅
✨
Look back at your mistakes and be proud of the effort you’re making - get some help, course correct and try again
✨
Time is the only asset we have - invest it in your growth and the mistakes will be worth it
✨

When you try to do something with your thoughts you’re getting further away from the solution to the problem
✨
There’s nothing to be done, it’s actually the opposite - if you do nothing with them then they’ll pass but when we’re trying to figure them out we get lost in them and can’t see past them
✨
Give yourself permission to drop your thoughts and see how the world looks different
✨

We are all messy. But that doesn’t mean we’re undeserving of love and understanding. Dear lovelies, you are enough. You are necessary. You are lovely just as you are. You are bright places, and I’m so proud and honored to know you. During this unsettling time and in honor of #mentalhealthmonth let’s let others know we love them exactly as they are. Let’s be there for one another. Let’s make it lovely. Please let me know how you’re doing and feeling. And remember that you are not alone.
