“It’s little gestures that separate people of distinction. There’s huge value in them. They make us feel cared about and supported. And as the world gets busier and more digital they become increasingly important. The emails we don’t respond to, the texts we forget, the likes we don’t give, the comments we choose not to write. We have no idea how much these would mean for those on the receiving end. Small, thoughtful gestures help us to stay connected in a world where we long for acceptance and a sense of community.”
-Lu Mascaro
My brother has had a very rough life. He has not gotten things handed to him and he lost his way for a little while. He missed out on some precious moments and priceless time. Eventually, he found his way back to us and we are forever grateful. My brother now never takes things for granted, and we never take him for granted either.
We did something special for him this past weekend, and the small gesture brought him to tears. I love my brother dearly and he deserves so much more than he has gotten in life.
One simple gesture of love like this can show just how much you care about someone. So, never take for granted the people in your life, and take time out to show them how much you care.
“What I want out of life is happiness… to me, I don’t want fancy, I don’t want designer, I don’t need expensive. I just want the quiet nobility of leading a good life and an appreciation for the things I’ve seen and the things I’ve accomplished and a wanderlust for the places I’ve not yet been.”
-V. (MILLENNIALLIFECRISIS)

As a child, I used to think there were monsters under my bed. As I grew older, these monsters seemed to disappear. Little did I know, they were still there. These monsters were in my head, only they were real this time. Although, they weren’t the kind of monster that grabbed your feet and pulled you under the bed. They were the kind that dwelled within you and fed you poison, lies, and hate. They made you fear things, hate yourself, and hate the world. These monsters were the same monsters I once feared, but now they were real demons inside me.
Are there ever days where you wake up and just feel tired and worn out for no apparent reason? Days where you don’t want to get out of bed, where you don’t feel particularly happy, but then you don’t really have any reason to be sad? Days where you feel less motivated, or are less passionate about the things you normally care about?
I believe that a lot of people feel this way at times. They don’t know why they feel this way, but they do. Sometimes it can make them feel guilty, because they know there’s no reason why. Day after day they put on a smile even though they don’t really mean it. They pretend that everything is fine, although something isn’t quite right, they just can’t put a finger on it…
“Sleep doesn’t help, if it’s your soul that’s tired.”
-a wise soul
I found this quote and I feel that it speaks to this scenario. I believe that in these moments where you feel tired or sad for no apparent reason, it may be because of your soul rather than your physical body. Your soul has lost its energy and needs restoration. Unlike your body, damage to your soul is much more difficult to pin-point. It could be because of a number of reasons, or just one thing that you’re holding onto deep within; maybe something you are refusing to acknowledge. You could still be able to function normally, but that doesn’t mean you are fine from within.
“Whenever we suffer a physical or emotional trauma it is said that a part of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. With every cut and wound, our essence and vitality grows weaker. This process is called ‘Soul Loss’.
When we experience Soul Loss, we begin experiencing feelings of weakness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and emptiness. We just know that something is missing from our lives, but many of us struggle to discover what exactly that is.
Addictions, eating disorders, identity disorders, post traumatic stress, depression, codependency, narcissism, low self-esteem, and adjustment disorders are all common causes for Soul Loss.”
