human, not peg

Why do we judge ourselves so unnecessarily? Every time we examine our choices and say should, we are putting expectations on ourselves.

*****
Everything is meant to be.

*****
The doubts and the questioning of our past is the worst thing we can do to nurture our souls.

Don’t try to live your life into a perfect path because each life is unique. I don’t want to fit into a square box of what a woman should be. I am just me, oddly-shaped and the genesis of all my proud experiences.

true self

Was just reading about how a French girl has that air of “je ne sais quoi”. It’s her absolute self-possession; the way she grows into her true self without caring about what others think of her.

I was not raised French although I see the value of growing from within oneself.

The perfect example of knowing what’s right for oneself is love and marriage. Knowing who and when to take the plunge in the game of love is very personal, yet there seems to be some social pressure to be married and to be married by a certain time.

I see a few great relationships being spoiled by social pressures. If only we all are a little bit more like the French girl…
