Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

Why can't I run away from self-love?

            Why can't I run away from self-love?

Hello, my dearest Story Time readers from around the world. How have you guys been? Today I am back with another self-love topic.  Ever since I started my self-love journey my life has changed for the better. The road wasn't always easy, but Self-love help me find the courage and strength that I needed to find wisdom in myself, and it also helped me to apply that wisdom into the real world. Because sometimes listening to what the voice inside of you has to say isn't enough! You need to take action, and when you take action it shows that you are honoring that voice that is guiding you on the inside.  We are going to talk about the reason why you can't run away from self-love.   I decided to write this story because I also answered this question for myself.  It was a question that I needed to answer if I wanted to reach the next level of my self-love journey. I always like to talk about how much of an adventure my life is. It seems that no matter how much I can spell it out in words,  I still can't draw you a complete painting of my adventures.   It is these adventures that feed my soul, and as you noticed it has also impacted my content creation journey. Yes, we now call it content creation! And it all started from writing poems, and daily blogs about my projects and the things that I would come across.  I have gone through an entire metamorphosis multiple times in my life, and at this stage, it only feels relieved. Because every time I become stronger in my self-love game and every time I become more aware of my value I know I am growing. When you grow as an individual you contribute to a better environment and a better society.  I figured if there are two things every living organism has in common it is the gift of life, and experiencing pain. Those go hand in hand with each other. Now just like everyone else I have had moments where I would fall into my own self-sabotaging patterns. In my case that is mostly hiding from the world, haha.  If I'd go back in time and tell 15-year-old me about how much I have embraced the self-love journey that out-of-place weirdo would give me a disbelieving snobby attitude about me.  I am going to share with you, why it was impossible for me to run away from self-love! Maybe just reading this can spark something in you, to make you realize how valuable each one of us can be in this world


Now I have a question for you, and I need you to write down an honest answer in your self-love diary. How many of you have had moments when you felt empty? How many of you had moments when you felt like something was missing? How many of you have at least once in your life felt like they weren't enough? How many of you have felt like your needs didn't deserve to be met? I know I am asking a lot of questions here but bear with me a little bit longer.  When you are on Story Time, you are also here for the exercise! I just want you to know that you aren't alone in your suffering.  How many of you have felt that the choices that you made in life were more a sacrifice for others? How many of you have frequently been underappreciated or misunderstood? If there is one thing I like to remind people of it is that life is short. Some love it, some hate it! But I do know that this is my life and I get to decide what kind of vibes I take along with me. If there is one thing that I have noticed when I interact with other people, it is that they tolerate a lot of things due to low self-worth.  I get it, I understand it, I have been there myself. But when I look back on that person, she died many years ago. She died on the day that I decided that I would stay authentic to myself. It was by being authentic with who I am, that I discovered my strength. You don't know what you are capable of if you keep living your entire life to please others. How would you know that you aren't the next big thing?  How do you know, that there isn't someone out there that understands you and is capable of loving you? How do you know how good you can be at your talents if you chose a career that others picked out for you?  There are a lot of scenarios where this could be applicable, but it all starts with yourself. It was only after I experienced it, did I find out why it was impossible to run away from self-love. You could run away from people, scenarios, drama, and even lovers but if there is one person you can't run away from it is yourself. When you face yourself you can either choose between love or hate. For the people who are facing depression, even if you chose hate for 28 days a month, please at least pickup love for the remaining days. The more you pick it up, the more you get used to it. Facing yourself means being honest with yourself about your desires and needs.  This makes it easier for your needs to be fulfilled, especially when you learn to voice your needs. Don't be afraid to speak up for who you are and what you stand for. Take pride in your identity, even if the rest of the world doesn't know you. I know that the only person that can be with me from the end till the beginning and beyond is myself, so why don't you deserve to choose for yourself? Take a deep breath as you think about this, and write down what your needs are and how you want them to be fulfilled. You can't expect anyone else to love you the same way that you do! Nourish yourself and you will grow in ways that you have never imagined. It is your life, so the sooner you embrace the self-love journey, the easier it becomes to start the healing process. If you want to stay updated on more self-love articles don't forget to jump onto the Story Time U.F.O.!  Keep shining your light and pour love into your own cup before you pour it into others. It helps to improve the quality, trust me on that one!  Make a note in your self-love diary and remind yourself of all the reasons why it's worth choosing for your own happiness!  You are valuable, you are strong,, you are a survivor, and you are going to rise above the obstacles!  All these beautiful reasons that you have written down, are also the reasons why you can't run away from self-love. Welcome aboard, and I can't wait to write to you again!
