I have to say…this whole writing down of your thoughts as a means for self…care or you can say, a purging of the thought process, is really beneficial. It is definitely a change for me to switch up that pace and take the time to write down the word vomit that runs in my head. And boy…there’s been a back up of word vomit so best believe there’s some cleaning up to do. All joking aside, I have to attribute my revitalized motivation to write in this to my best friend. Definitely a good thing to listen to your best every now and then 
. Lol.
Here I go…
This past month has a been a really big learning experience for me. I think this whole idea of empowerment speaks volumes of how much it can really lift your spirit and change whatever outlook you have on a certain topic/concern. I’m constantly reminded about the importance of listening, not only to others but yourself. This neglect of self can truly create something ugly within and I think we don’t take the opportunity to really nurture the source that is you. You can’t really love others, if you can’t have that love for yourself, right? I’m learning to process more nowadays…and I mean it in the big whole process of processing. I hope I’m making sense. Haha.
But yeah…what I speak of the ugly…I’m talking about that negative nancy or debbie downer that just creeps in your head. The one that loves to come out when he/she knows you’re at your all time low. Vulnerability and self consciousness is its fuel for survival. BLAH! Not the best thing to have in your head when you’re alone with your thoughts. That’s when your self validation needs to kick in. Gotta get that positive polly (haha..just made that up) to be in full force. I know that my need for validation and reassurance is at its all time high when these dark thoughts are looming. And when it is in reference to other people, I have to remind myself that I should have faith in other people.
All in all I think I’ll just wrap it up with some the four key phrases in life that will go a long way (thank you prof. begonia):
1. I love you
2. I’m sorry
3. I forgive you
4. Thank you
