knowing what you know now..

what would you tell yourself??

2025/1/26 Edited to

... Read moreAs we reflect on our experiences, a powerful practice is to ask ourselves: "Knowing what you know now, what would you tell yourself at this time last year?" This exercise not only promotes self-awareness but also helps in understanding the lessons learned from past decisions. Life is filled with moments of uncertainty and choices that shape our journey. By recognizing the growth and knowledge gained, we can better prepare for the future. Consider what advice you might give about relationships, career decisions, or personal challenges faced. This reflective process can enhance emotional intelligence and lead to more informed decisions moving forward. It's important to document these reflections, perhaps in a journal or through discussions with friends, as they can serve as a roadmap for personal development. Embrace the growth that comes from recognizing past mistakes and celebrate the progress made. Ultimately, the exercise of contemplating what we would tell our past selves can provide clarity and motivation as we face new experiences.

Knowing that you belong together. 🥰
Sometimes you know that that person is your person that you belong with. I know some people don’t believe in soulmates but sometimes you feel that you can’t live without that person. Losing track of time. The minutes can pass into hours. You just want to find out more about them, feel closer

Could it be lupus? What to know BEFORE you see a doctor
You’ve been tired for way too long. Your joints hurt. You feel off. You’ve gone to the doctor… and left with no real answers. Here’s the thing: Lupus can be sneaky. It mimics other conditions and hides behind vague symptoms. And many people (especially women) go years without a diagnosis.

About knowing ourselves and others
We’re only ever as honest as we want to be, or so we’d like to think. There comes a point in knowing someone- a partner, a friend, family- that you learn their subtleties. And it’s in knowing these subtleties, that you come to know their truth. #poetry #mentalhealth #poetrycommunity #lgbt

Knowing your worth changes how you move…
“Knowing your worth changes how you move, what you tolerate, and who gets access to you.” I thought knowing my worth meant proving it to everyone else. Explaining myself. Overgiving. Staying longer than I should. Now I know! Knowing your worth isn’t loud. It’s quiet. It’s boundaries.
