Sweet Moments
What Happens?
What happens to us after we die?
(These are the responses I received to this discussion today)
…
“I’d like to think we disperse our energy or matter into whatever or wherever we most admired or connected with.”
“When we die there are 7 seconds of brain activity, and for reference when we dream our brain is active for a fraction of a second, so my theory is that either we re-live our life over and over, or it’s just one big dream that lasts forever essentially giving us what we want.”
“I’m a believer in God, and I believe that when we die, our souls go to Heaven to be with Him. I believe that we find ultimate peace and unending love in this afterlife.”
“I believe that we are actually all the same person, and not just people but animals and plants too, and therefore all of life is perfectly fair because every good or bad thing we do we just do to ourselves.”
“I think that we reach our paradise; How? I’m not sure. But, I just know that we will find peace.”
“I believe that mother-nature rules over us and that there is this delicate balance in the universe that can be upset. I believe in karma and that everything happens for a reason. When we die, I believe all our actions are accounted for and we will be judged on how we respected this balance and how we treated nature.”
“In my perspective, when we die, we are reborn into another being. This is where the strange feelings of familiarity and memories of things we haven’t experienced come from.”
“I’m into the idea that if we have unfinished business, we can’t pass through into the afterlife until it is resolved.”
What are your theories??
What Do You Want?
“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)

Monsters
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.
Something a little different… Thoughts??
Simple Things In Life
When you just stop and look around, just take a single second out of your busy day to really look at something, you’ll see the pure beauty in it. It could be the simplest thing that on any other given day may go unnoticed. One look around and you’ll see the light, color, and life of this world around you.
It’s easy to find yourself glazing over the things you see in everyday life; you see them so often that you become numb to their beauty. But, if you take another look, a real look, you might find yourself realizing how much more beautiful they are than you previously thought.
Another thing that can distract you from beauty is tragedy. Nevertheless, you have to always remember that in the darkest of times, there is always hope and there is always good somewhere in the world, even if it’s not in your present situation.
So.. STOP RIGHT NOW, and take a LOOK AROUND! You might be surprised… 😯😊
Smile ♥️

Just for fun 🙂
Is Your Soul Tired?
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.
Soul loss:
“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.”
