It’s interesting how one simple action can have phenomenal traction; how one silly little thing can affect one’s heart(s). #FromNowOn: Let’s not underestimate our power and how Well (or not so well) we fit into our surroundings: how fast the planet turns and how its moon revolution pulls and pushes the seas and all water-basedContinue reading “#FromNowOn”

#TheMessenger
“The Universe does not make any mistakes; She has been doing this ish* for a while now and it does not matter what you think you really want; I know you really, really want it, and it seems like this is IT – but you are confused; what you want is irrelevant because as theContinue reading “#TheMessenger”
#ProudWeAre
Pride is a necessary evil, which unbalanced, will make you waste time on love and might even bruise a beautiful relationship (to be) beyond repair; And yes, everyone’s goal is to protect their heart; and granted, indifference allows time for sensitive soul to heal accordingly, and yes: actions do speak louder than words, even thoughContinue reading “#ProudWeAre”
#PTSD
Although #heartbreak does not kill you, it does a number on you; the fear of another encounter is sometimes so overwhelming that it almost does not matter you survived. You just can’t help but look over your shoulder and/or second guess yourself. You keep hoping, smiling, praying, chanting… or whatever else you usually do toContinue reading “#PTSD”
#BarkingUpTheWrongTree
“La goutte d’eau qui fait déborder le vase” is a French idiomatic expression, which literally means “the drop of water that has made the vase overflown”. I guess this could be translated in English by the straw that broke the camel’s back, although the accuracy of the French saying pertains much better to my situation.Continue reading “#BarkingUpTheWrongTree”
#OnLoveAndLustAndEverythingInBetween (Part2)
I can honestly say that these past couple of weeks I fell in lust again. With myself. It is odd when you finally realize that your flaws are what make you special, that the imperfections add un je ne sais quoi to the craft: you mature into a butterfly. By discovering your Power as a womanContinue reading “#OnLoveAndLustAndEverythingInBetween (Part2)”
#ShortUpdate
For the past month I have been sleep deprived and expectedly it has clouded my judgment and nudged my inner balance; and because of all the life changing events presently occurring it has been challenging. Although I am still experiencing anxiety, and I am extremely tired, these past couple of days I felt a deepContinue reading “#ShortUpdate”
#AboutTrustingMyGut
I woke up clear headed. I think that once I’ll intentionally position myself for success and truly accept that failure is part of the growth process, I’ll be blessed with those things I’ve been longing for. Although I acknowledge the latter (failure as the best thing that can happen to me), what has prevented meContinue reading “#AboutTrustingMyGut”
Daphné 2.0
Life is complex. But does it have to be? I have a hard time to find a balance between straightforwardness, which can sound harsh (and make people feel uncomfortable), and sugarcoating my words. I really admire and look up to those who can confidently manage both qualities simultaneously, without sounding passive-aggressive. Although I grew a lotContinue reading “Daphné 2.0”
#IfGodExists
#IfGodExists She won’t mind me questioning her existence. #IfGodExists She is waiting on my next move. #IfGodExists She is unapologetically fierce and beautifully honest. #IfGodExists She loves purposely and accepts unconditionally. She forgives and understands. She accordingly provides. She never doubts and she believes. She judges not and always allows me to wonder ifContinue reading “#IfGodExists”
#ThePowerOfSymmetry
I was called beautiful twice in the space of a week. It came from two different individuals, and under two very different circumstances: The first time was sweetly whispered and unexpected in that way, definitely validating. It warmed every inches of my body. I *think* it was genuine and I greeted the compliment by aContinue reading “#ThePowerOfSymmetry”
#Catharsis
Magic occurs when you stop judging yourself, When you allow your flaws to be seen Vulnerability to exist. Shame will hinder Everything. Paralyze you to your core, Cut the grass under your feet: Don’t let it have the last word. I was born Free-Spirited But that spirit was stolen by boundaries and conventions. IContinue reading “#Catharsis”
#AboutPatience
#AboutPatience Every time I felt challenged, I got extremely overwhelmed. Although my life might appear unorthodox for some people, I have been living very comfortable and cautious existence. Here’s the problem: nobody has ever reached the sky by being safe, and the sky is all I’ve been longing for. I’ve been meaning to explore thisContinue reading “#AboutPatience”
#NeverEnough?
I never feel like I’m enough. I used to be an avid reader growing up and although I still read regularly there are so many others books to be read, so many authors I don’t even know about. I graduated last September. My studies were as challenging than rewarding and I am so grateful IContinue reading “#NeverEnough?”
#InBecomingTheWomanIWasAlwaysMeantToBe
Life is challenging. No kidding. Constantly remind myself to be thankful for all the blessings in my life does not make me not complain about what things could be if I had spent more time focusing on things I really wanted. “Make it happen” they say. But is it that easy? There is a plethoraContinue reading “#InBecomingTheWomanIWasAlwaysMeantToBe”

#tbt
My hair was too wild and my skin too brown – so they said. I wished my hair was straight and long and my eyes clear as the sea, so they’d like me. I wanted color lenses so badly so I could be pretty [too]. It was hard, not being acknowledged in so many ways.Continue reading “#tbt”
Framing principles
Good day! I was asked for one of my Philosophy class to write about 3 principles that are important to me. It pushed me to think of what my values were, how I had evolved over the years and how much more I wanted to accomplish in life. Overall that was a great exercise forContinue reading “Framing principles”
