No flashy cuts and edits of people with dreamy eyes looking outside a window. No over the top vocal fluctuations in speech. No big claims. No testimonials. No sales pitches embedded in message. Just plain and simple truth told with such compassion. Arts slideshow is a bonus. Thank you for making such a beautiful and genuine channel.

I dont trust modern therapy for this reason. They don't teach you this stuff. I've been in and out of therapy my whole life, mostly due to peer pressure, and my social environment making me think there was something wrong with me, and I always knew that something was wrong with the mental Healthcare system. They teach you at best to suppress your emotions. At least, in my experience. I've not once had a therapist that uses these talking points. Giving me information I can process and understand rather than try to tell me to control my breathing and suppress my symptoms by means of medication and such

OCD, trauma and a family of broken, mentally ill people (narcissistic, bipolar, autistic, depressed) is a collective bitch. I've found some ways to deal with it, but in most ways, it's too little too late. I've sabotaged my life and my family's, as they have me. The collective failure is a staggering black comedy when you look at the whole portrait. I love and pity my parents, but neither were mentally equipped to raise a boy, let alone three. Fairly certain I'm devolving into the histrionic self-made martyr my father has always been... I'm wholly dependent on them.

I lied because I was trying to remove myself make it simple just saying I'm not around. So what I did instead was I ordered a pie for her and my sister and had my mom go pick it up so they could enjoy that. By ordering and paying for the pie for them it was my way of not entirely disconnecting but being kind at the same time.

Chekhov reminds me of my man. His mother gave him for adoption when he’s a child. And when he was adopted, he was just physically beaten. When he’s 16, he ran away. He made some big sacrifices, failed from to time to time, hit the lowest point of his life. But he persisted, worked more than everyone else and is committed with his goals despite of anything. Now at 29, he’s successful and has his own company. That’s why, he has my biggest respect because he has every reason to be bitter, to be selfish and to be angry but he’s none of those things. Instead, his experiences made him a strong, forgiving and gentle human being. And he said he’s lucky to find me. But I always rebut saying, I’ll always be the luckiest woman to find a beautiful human like him.

Wish you all the best! As a little advice from me: consider starting a business also. Learning about business consulting and starting a business in this direction is a good and relatively fast way to get the cash going. 1. Learn everything about copywriting, business building, marketing psychology you can. 2. After months of learning, start to offer your services for free to businesses wich you think you can help. 3. Collect reviews and ratings from this businesses about your work to have prove of your professionalism. 4. Start to offer your services for money. Trough this system you can learn and offer every service you want. I took business consulting as an example because it's one of the most profitable. Plus you must invest no money. Maybe get a suit and some papers to look professional and that's all. All the knowledge you can find online

To heal the future family lines. heal our dna and change the timelines to separate from the cursed generational trama that most of us have endured. .our children deserve better than that, everyone's child deserves better than that. I look at the few generations past and cant imagine how long people have been carbon cut outs of their perceived environment. Like a cookie cutter. Man. I always think about.... if they realized that being that cruel, rotten or vengeful was wrong? I loved the quote about I actually to a screen shot of it...when people can control thier emotions so that attack yours. ..so freaking true. people dont deserve to be treated in such ways. I see more people now acknowledging their moment to step into this role. This is why I believe we are here. It's our mission to heal the children. To put an end to the cycles of recurring family tramas. To mend the pain of our ancesters where they failed. Theres not a day that goes by where I'm not dumbfounded by those around me.

@@Anna-xg6lv That's a nice irrelevant deflection comment. It doesn't address the desired communication relationship between best friends (platonic, relative, dating, or spouse). It's universal for people to desire these certain types of close relationships to have depth and expression of knowing the other. That's part of the joy of a close relationship - being understood and known. So there's an expectation of use of things like subtlety, nuance, and inside 'jokes' or comments. I don't expect this from all relationships, just my intimate (close) ones. Not everyone 'gets' us. And it's pretty brutal of you to say it's because I'm not adequately communicating. Say that to any cryptic poet or unique musician. Look up the topic of why poetry is often difficult to understand. In fact, a good, deep, meaningful, thought-provoking poem is worth reading three or four times or a dozen. Are THEY bad communicators? No. And I can choose friends who 'get me' on the first go around. That makes the bond special.

Even the greatest of communicators will be misunderstood, or downright disregarded by those who (on a conscious or subconscious level) reject the message, or lack the objective rational to 'connect the dots' in regards to higher concepts than they are used to.

There are a ton of people who struggle with 'comprehension' due to overblown ego (a lack of humility gets in the way of understanding), mental laziness (many people don't like to participate in the exercise of 'thinking'), or lack of interest when something is outside of their immediate sphere understanding (as in, they don't see how the information applies to them). No amount of careful diction can requisite a meaningful understanding/response with these people, they either are ready for the message or they are not. Some require time and experience before the value of such information becomes apparent, others have chosen to reject wisdom due to their own inflated sense of self, the latter of the two absolutely cannot be helped by others unless they help themselves first.

We often pursue things for the wrong reasons and then when we cannot obtain it, we find ourselves wandering and lost because nothing seems to be what we want to pursue. It is only that way because we are looking at things at a angle outward instead of inward. Good luck.❤

Now I'm starting to realize that no amount of superiority (either monetary status or education) can change the utter core of human nature of being insecure/jealous/envious etc. unless the person has a strong character or is willing to make conscious efforts to build up good character to guide others or become a role model for followers.

I've noticed recently that certain kind of people tend to use shame to bring us down. If you succeed in something, it might create feelings of envy, disappointment and shame in another, especially if they themselves wish to succeed in the same endeavor. One way to deal with these negative emotions and neutralize the situation is then to shame and disparage the successful. This realization has helped me to frame the potential shaming as praise and appreciation in disguise. Probably wise to limit contact to such people altogether.

The video waxes poetically on the subject of seeing people as phenomena, to learn from and not to judge them. And the images of classic paintings also serves to enhance that poetic context. The key for me that I have found in this process is to focus on accepting myself as I am now as well as who I was in the past when I often struggled in some way or another. It is only by accepting myself that I can really accept others. To turn this around if I look at someone else and notice that I judge them in some way I can turn that back on myself and say what is it about myself that leads me to judge them?? Because when I am judging others I am projecting something on others that I am not accepting in myself.

I finally managed to break free of these relationships and am now learning to live my life in a more positive manner.

WOW! Great video. Thanks The quote about interacting with others is most relevant. I can relate to this since I live in "Hooterville" where the conversations are mostly about cows, corn, sex and pickup trucks. And I can't forget SPORTS. Shakespeare (Francis Bacon?) said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances. And one man in his time, plays many parts." I've concluded that those around us are just "playing their parts" for our spiritual advancement. Part of my daily affirmation, says, "I accept the people in my life as they are, not as I would prefer, since they are on their own journeys to enlightenment, and are playing their assigned parts, from which they learn, and from which I learn from them. . I offer them the opportunities to learn, to rise above ignorance, to rise above those around them, to grow in spirituality, and to strive for excellence." Learning acceptance and tolerance of others is one of the most important lessons in the quest for greater spirituality. I find that I must "fake it" by appearing to be interested in what these yahoos are saying. What is irritating, though, are their attempts to change me.

Good on you for pushing through, I bet it made you a stronger person. Do you have an art blog? I'd like to see what kind of stuff you make. To be honest I think I kinda did let it get to me. I had to drop out and go back home for a year to recharge. Luckily I'm still working on stuff at home. But I'm scared that I'm not going to get the full creative momentum going, and that my older work from the portfolio I applied with is actually better. It's hard because as an artist you have to be extremely open, in order to reach the highest heights and see beyond dualities, reconcile opposites etc, but the disadvantage of that is that people take advantage of you. And then you can possibly end up developing an ego/persecution complex which makes you shut off completely. Part of the reason that I developed quite a mature style quite early is because I rubbed shoulders and dated an older, B-list artist as a youngster. I was only 16 but I had to compete with grown men for her affection, who to my dismay, she used to kiss in front of me while we were dating. I was really looking for someone to look up to and respect, but because she had been molested as a child it meant that the power dynamics were reversed, so even though she was twice my age it was very much me taking control in the relationship. Anyway the whole experience was extremely upsetting and I left her, my heart completely broken, swearing to myself that I would never let myself be humiliated like that again. The next day I went to an art gallery and looked at an epic painting of the Colossus of Rhodes by Antonio Muñoz Degraín and thought to myself what if I worked on one piece of art for my whole life? I felt as though I had to take on something epic, something that would be indestructible. It was a very hurtful experience yet it seemed to set in motion some strange, mystical transmutation. A year later I went to a kibbutz in Israel where they had various art studios, and I remember walking through there, in this preternatural glow and it felt as though I could feel the spirit of everything that had lived in there, baby, child, woman seemed to meld into one. It's difficult do describe in words (hence why we have art) but it was definitely akin to something of a shamanistic initiation. Although I haven't literally done that, the idea of working on one piece of art for your whole life, the principle of mentalism, hermeticism, etc. has definitely informed my practice...anyway that's a whole lot of me, now tell me more about your story and maybe give me some links to your work?

( yea school adds some values too but if you don't have it inside it doesn't matter which school you're in) Noooooo! Why'd you give up :( But it doesn't matter, taking tactical breaks can be good on the long run, and you can reflect back and come to a greater enlightment. One thing I learned is there is no backwards in evolution, maybe these events you're going through is preparing you for something bigger in life and don't fear to get the full momentum going, there are a few simple techniques to apply, so and I can share them if you'd like ( for example one of them is Kaizen > doing it 1 minute every day to disable your fight/flight response in amigdala therefore not seeing the tasks as big and just starting). For the women you loved, I deeply feel your pain, hate and darkness because I went through a similar ( if not worse) scenario where my crush in high school made a move on me and I loved her too but since I was a muslim back then I couldn't approach her due to my beliefs. The year later when I had the courage I bought some flowers, memorised some pickup lines and went to her class but she wasn't there. She had changed schools. / skipping all the chaos, trying to kill myself and depression / And just as I was about to jump from 5. floor I said "huh africans are pretty happy being poor, they're dancing, so if I dance I can be happy and get her back!" / The same transformation you had with art was with dance for me, I also play guitar and soufi flute and started drawing a few months ago, so I can precisely picture your enlightment process. Then I started dancing got out of depression, changed my fields from maths/science to social studies, 1 month before turkish university exam and became 9th / 700.000 in Turkey. now I'm in an art school, just got rid of bs mentality of structured brainwashing for the past 6 months. As I said I'm on the fundamentals as psychology, sociology, Jordan peterson, philosophies etc. and I will finish it this month and move to art with %800 speed. But I can post 2-3 works if you insist :) You have no idea how instinctively close I feel to your mentality, thank you for sharing your story. I messaged your instagram is it parmesan_chic ? And what is google talks I've never used it before, we can communicate (if you want) in a platform you feel comfortable, I'm open to suggestions. Cheers.

What they don't tell you though, is that the more you rise, the more alone you will be --by necessity. As you cease to compromise yourself, you will have to walk away from those who demand compromise from you. As you seek excellence, you will have to walk away from those who revel in mediocrity. And so, every step of personal success, puts one more step between you and the world. I could never go back. I would hate myself for giving up. But it's lonely. There are no throngs of well wishers, cheering your integrity. There is no unconditional love or acceptance from anyone else. You will have to learn to reward yourself, and that will be your only reward. If I could go back, and truly return to ignorance and banality, I think I might do it.
