Storytelling and reading real life stories have sustained humans since forever.

All of our emotions are divided into two basic categories: Love and Fear.

Emotions of Love expands the ❤️ and creates more coherence, while emotions of Hate contract the ❤️ and create waves of incoherence.

When the chaos out there gets to be too much,
Remember this:

“I ❤️ the part of me
that refuses
to let you destroy
my ideas of love”

“Every one of us is conditioned and caught in a system that we cannot see —
We are so use to functioning in this structure that’s it’s only when we attempt to break free that we can feel just how tightly we’ve been restrained.”

Excerpt ➡️ On Our Best Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen

To ❤️ with depth absent of fear

… embrace your wild ❤️.”

Gratitude…
“Allows us to feel full,
to register on the emotional and physical level that we have, in fact, been given enough.”

“Without practicing gratitude on a daily basis, it’s easy to over-consume” or fill lack with things.

I found this gem in my local indie bookstore, Midtown Reader.

50 stories from the rebels and misfits of ancient times. What do they mean for us in our modern day!?!?

Have you read this book?
