QUESTIONS WE SHOULD PERIODICALLY ASK:
How have I dis/honored myself as of late?
How am I giving away my power? To who/what?
Am I living according to my own integrity?
What do I dislike in others? How does that show up within me?
What does self-neglect look like in my life?
Which attitudes do I hold about myself? how do the people I attract help perpetuate them?

seaoflove:

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
