Where am I going?

Posted on October 12, 2023 by kyra333

Pay attention to the places that make you feel calm, places that let your mind wander over big and little questions. Places that set you right in your skin and lighten your step. Make sure you put yourself in those spaces regularly like you brush your teeth, get dressed in the morning. Prioritize building these things into your schedule as you would any obligation to others, but this obligation is to yo Continue reading →

Good Shit

Posted on September 14, 2023 by kyra333

What I didn’t understand until much later in life is all the shit is ultimately good shit.

Good Beginnings

Posted on February 15, 2023 by kyra333

Heroes and Homework

Posted on January 18, 2023 by kyra333

Nobody’s coming to save us, fix this or that, none of that is going to happen, it is wholly up to us. We are the heroes of our own lives. We are the ones making mistakes, maybe falling from grace… we are also the ones to rise from the ashes. Continue reading →

What do you see?

Posted on July 12, 2022 by kyra333

We all are in the same world, with very different knowledge and experiences all of which shape how we move through it. Asking about someone’s view and how they came to it is a tool of curiosity, of being interested in their intent. Listening to understand and not just respond is the first step here.
