“Feelings don’t have to make sense to be valid.”

Chasing unavailable people is self abandonment.

When we heal ourselves, we heal our families. When we heal our families, we heal the world.

It’s not your job to awaken your family.

If you have to abandon yourself to make the relationship work, that’s not love.

You can love someone and still make the choice to let them go.

Chasing unavailable people is a sneak way for the ego to avoid intimacy.

Heartbreak can trigger childhood wounds.

Be the kind of person you want to date.

Ultra-independence is a trauma response.

Endings are also beginnings with a destination unknown.

Maturity is willing to acknowledge what you are willing to shift, learn or give to create the kind of relationship you want.

Life isn’t trying to break you down. It’s trying to break you open.

You don’t hold place for everyone’s shit.

You don’t have to be “finished” your healing work before entering into your relationship.

Imagine what you could be doing with all the energy you give away to people who don’t want what you want.

Choose the path that feels lighter.

Feelings are your guide. Trust your feelings and learn to express them, and do not blame anyone for how you feel. Be yourself, observe yourself. Look to understand any crisis you have been in or will be in.

When I use electronic beats and program things, there’s something quite brain about that – you’re feeling it in your body but it’s like a puzzle you wanna solve, and it gets very detailed. I really enjoy that side of music.

The benefits of positive emotions don’t stop after a few minutes of good feelings subside. In fact, the biggest benefit that positive emotions provide is an enhanced ability to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.

Stories are not about ideas, gimmicks, or places. Stories are about people. People are about feelings!

I love feeling the rhythm of other people’s lives. It’s like traveling.

I’ve about decided that’s the main thing that separates happy people from the other people: the feeling that you’re a practical item, with a use, like a sweater or a socket wrench.

I think what I’m trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

Mindfulness is developing an awareness of the thoughts and feelings that we move through without getting drawn into the meanings or taking action or getting sucked into the story.
