“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.

Many of us are looking for more ways to enjoy our time at home in these stressful circumstances. Some of us have turned to books. But how can we make sure we get the most out of them?

Waking up in the morning and be productive isn’t that easy for most people, it’s just way easier and cosy to just go back in bed!
I get why you love so much staying in bed, trust me. But it’s also true that in these uncertain times where we don’t have the outside motivation of school or work, it’s very important to learn how to be productive at home.
Being productive brings you closer to achieving your goals and creating a consistent routine will help you do that quicker. Not knowing what to do all the time makes you waste so much time that could be spent actually doing things!
When you are creating your productive morning routine it’s important to know exactly what your goals are. Do you want to exercise and get fit? Do you want to get your homework done? Do you want to work on your blog?
You need to tailor your routine according to those goals, so don’t follow other people’s routines just because they look good and “aesthetic”, that won’t get you anywhere with your own goals.
The first few days of trying your new routine are just a trial. If something seems off, you don’t feel good or you just can’t follow it, don’t get discouraged! Try again the next day and if the problems persist, it’s time to make some changes to your plan!
Also, your routine doesn’t necessarily have to include big tasks such as cleaning the whole house or completing an entire project, it could be composed of many little tasks such as making your bed. Putting all those little tasks into a to-do list might be helpful at first so you can check-off all the completed things and see what you were and weren’t able to accomplish. It will also look longer but at the same time, less intimidating considering that those smaller tasks will take you less time! ☀
