I remember that a wise someone once pointed out that the world needs me to be myself:




This turned out to be truth.
Now I can say that I'm doing a kazillion things for everybody, every day!

The quietude.

The feedback, the energy...the things that make me really understand that saying "Give, and you shall receive".

And with my gang, I especially love the shared joy of friendship, the crazy celebration of our youth, the unconditional acceptance, the sheer recognition that we are all the same!

The Pen tool in Photoshop, of course!

I believe that when I love, I am love. It is the most natural state of being AND doing.

I believe that love is like "recognizing" each other. No matter how many people are involved, a family, a love pair, a group...when you love, you recognise the other to be the same as you. And it makes you happy, because deep down you know you were never alone. ever.

I believe love is the best club around. When you love people, they are always good, nice to you, happy...even the music sounds better. There are no conditions to get into the club, and there's no membership fee but to love!

I believe love is the safest "thing" around. And by around, I mean on ALL spheres. It is like an invisible shield for all the anger, fear, sadness, boredom...anything that is out of alignment with your true self.

I believe love is a great self-confidence boost, and that is without any side-effect ego-trips. You love and you are sure of it because you are being loved. You love yourself, but you don't think you are "better" than anyone. As I said, you recognize the other. By doing this, you ARE love, and that is very self-confident.

I believe love is luminous. When you throw its light on something, it reflects back onto you. You cannot love unconditionally without being loved. That is also why one cannot love, who doesn't have love for himself. He cannot throw light because he first has to light it in himself.

I believe love is the ultimate anti-aging creme. When you love, you frown less, smile more, enjoy yourself, hopefully have sex often, and your whole being glows.

I believe love is our highest purpose. After all our earthly possessions and achievements are gone, what is left to do is to love. Love won't dematerialize or go to waste. That is why we are all trying to find love, one way or another. We all want to be "recognized".

I believe love is a great motivational speaker, a true spiritual teacher and the best life coach out there. It can be found anytime, it IS found first in yourself, it can be uploaded to another person, downloaded for a higher quality, and adapted to match your own terminology. It knows all the languages and is completely free!

I believe love is powerful. You just have to play with it. Since it's a shield from all the doubts, then it's a shield from all the negativity. I don't know if it is an energy, or  a force, or a thought that has a frequency... All I know is that when I'm completely emerged in unconditional love, nothing is impossible. And I really mean NOTHING.

Love has made me healthy, joyous, radiant, conscious, safe...all I thought was impossible to have at the same time. It has brought me peace.
It is what has brought me here and I'm grateful for it.
It has filled my heart and fixed my car once (really, it did!).
It makes me love life in its all forms and therefore makes me loved!

Lennon, you are so right: All we need is Love!
(p.s. Happy B-day!)

My honey's arms. I just fit in there perfectly. And his face. Oooo, I love to press my face into his. I feel more than myself when I'm close to him. Now words needed. No thoughts, but only being. Belonging.

Well, it's been 5 months since this answer, and I would answer it pretty much the same. I wouldn't add nothing. Only correct my typing mistakes. But I'm not going to. Hihihi.

BTW, great question!

Since I've always been honest with Zaadsters, I'll share this answer with you.
It's a sad realization, and I'm glad you asked.
Lately, my winter blues combined with my bottled-up grief, and all I think about is "not good enough".

When I imagine what kind of paintings I'm going to create, I hear myself: "You can't be both a designer, a web developer AND  a painter! Make up your mind! You're waisting time and money! You don't have enough time for all of it!"
When take a break from my work, I think "C'mon, who are you to play designer? You're not good enough. You should have never left your college".
When I daydream about my future studies, and the kind of college I'd like to go to, I'm soon stopped by a voice "Who are you kidding? You'll never earn enough money to go study abroad. Your father died and no one can pay for your education anymore. And why should anyone? You dropped out even you were doing fine, only to follow your bliss. You never finish anything!"

Oh, the tyranny of mind infected with worry and doubt!
