Sis, I used to think I had to hold it all together. Smile. Push through. Move on. But the real healing started the day I let my hair down, exhaled, and gave myself permission to grieve slow. You don’t have to rush what broke you wide open. Take your time. 💙

Grieving can be a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience. It's essential to remember that there is no right or wrong way to grieve; everyone's journey is unique. When we rush through our feelings, we might miss critical moments of healing. Embracing vulnerability and allowing oneself to feel sorrow can lead to a more profound understanding of oneself. Many individuals struggle with societal pressures to 'move on' after loss. However, it’s crucial to honor your emotions and give yourself the space to heal. Some effective strategies include journaling your thoughts, seeking support from friends or support groups, and engaging in activities that foster a connection to your feelings. You may find solace in creative outlets such as art, music, or simply spending time in nature. Remember, it's okay to take your time. Each step you take towards healing is a testament to your strength and resilience. As you navigate this journey, surround yourself with positive influences and seek guidance if needed. Ultimately, healing is a personal journey worth taking at your own pace.

A silver Cybertruck is parked on a residential driveway, with a speech bubble saying "OMG!". The image includes the text "I WILL NEVER GET USED TO SEEING A CYBER TRUCK!".

I will NEVER get used to seeing a Cyber Truck!

I just can’t take Cyber Trucks seriously. They look like they should be props in movies or something. I don’t see how it can be more comfy than a minivan for a family. I just think it’s ugly and dumb. I’m sorry if you think otherwise, it’s just my opinion. Deff wouldn’t buy one. @Lemon8 US

and as you should. tapping into the other side is delicate. many spirits are neutral souls, though there will be dark ones that come along too. protect yourself first always! some ways to do that: • think or say, “i am protected” “my home is protected from dark energy,” “i ask my angels to shield

I used to “hate” getting my period…

A white chunky knit blanket lies on a bed with a blue and white floral duvet cover. A black backrest pillow and other pillows are visible at the head of the bed, behind the textured blanket.

How many skeins do you think I used?

Would you’d believe this blanket took me 5 months. I simply didn’t want to do it. 😭 don’t get me wrong i love a good blanket. But using a big 25mm wooden hook was not it. If i did do again I would try to use mainly my fingers instead of the hook. #fingercrochet #crochet #crochetersoflemon8

Do you really think I loved you ? 🤧

This part is why I didn’t give the book 5 stars, I honestly had a good time reading it, the vibes were giving. But my biggest pet peeves in books are when theirs a breakup and they use their insecurities against them, even if it’s to protect the other, I just can’t stand it. I understand that t
