i've been struggling with forgiveness for a long time... so much so that i paid a translator to accompany me to talk to a buddhist monk in chiang mai, on the complete opposite side of the world. i was holding onto such deep-seated anger and resentment... no matter what i did i couldn't let it go. . i asked him why i couldn't forgive and if i should, given the circumstances (i disclosed to him but i won't here). he asked me why i'm holding onto it... what purpose is it serving me? i had no answer. i still have no answer. he told me, in so many words, i needed to realize the only person i was affecting by not forgiving is myself. . he grabbed a piece of paper and drew the beautiful design you see on my upper middle back just for me. each small piece of it is unique. the center part represents me, with a safe foundation and walls (i'll keep those pieces private). i cried, not because it hurt, but because i felt such a release. i'm still struggling today, but it's better... one big step forward in a long journey. . call me crazy. disillusioned. clichéd. i don't care. . if you're also finding forgiveness difficult, you're not alone. . . . 💚 . please do not leave unkind comments. they're not welcome nor tolerated. . .

team darklipcolorsallyear! 💄💪🏻 this lip velvet is "sugar bear" by @cloveandhallow 💚 swipe to see packaging! ➡➡ i'd describe it as a super wearable deep dusty rose with a cool undertone. it's pretty creamy and applies easily, drying slightly to a lipstick feel. i wanna try a bright cool-toned berry next. have you tried these?? . #notsponsored #ipaidforthis 😂 . . . .

happy saturday friends! i'm on the hunt for a really good guided meditation... do you have any you really like?? 💚 . . . . .

i'm going to post all my favorite herbalism books so far later today in stories 💚 also if you wear high-waisted jeans can you please tell me how you sit down? unbuttoning my pants in public to sit is not socially acceptable. do we just suffer? 🤔 😂 . . . .

i loooooove being able to walk pretty much anywhere i need to go in cdmx. what do you love about where you live?? . . . 💚🇲🇽

look at these leftovers... plants can impart the most beautiful colors ❤️🍀 . . . .
