“In front of my mother and my sister, I pretend love is cheap and vulgar. I act like it’s a sin–I pretend that love is for women on a dark path. But at night I dream of a love so heavy it makes my spine throb. I dream up a lover who makes love like he is separating salt from water.”

― Salma Deera

Me: I love being exhausted at the end of each day, trying to be normal.

Narrator: She in fact did not love killing herself to be normal but had to because neurotypicals think silence and no eye contact is shady, spineless, or "antisocial". This has, historically, cost neurodivergent people jobs and relationships from people who do no try to understand them but expect understanding for their own failures.

painted by me, based on art I saw on Google (below), don't know the artists, if anyone does, please let me know so I can credit them

It's silly of me to always wish for people I'm NEVER going to meet

My new first-time ever therapist attacked me today 🙄 You don't need to peg my entire lift down in one chart ma'am. Even if it is all somewhat VERY true.

Aside from the the beautiful colors, animation and skin tones

Watching Abuela talk in this movie was like watching every toxic trait my Cuban family has come to life. The toxic traits that cause you to hide/question career choices, lifestyle choices, your sexuality just so you can remain in ✨la familia✨. Never truly being yourself because you want to appeal to an old woman with dusty ass traditions that mean NOTHING in the modern world. Because you don't want to end up like Bruno right? I am SICK of the intergenerational trauma Latinos put on their kids, especially their girls. To all my fellow, proud Latinas, please break free. Nobody and nothing is worth sacrificing yourself over. Kiss that boy/girl, take that job in another country, live alone, do everything they say you "can't" do because they are too afraid to do it themselves.

Why Asking for Help from My Higher Self Worked Better Than Common Spiritual Methods

In my experience, commonly known methods, including Bashar's method, are not as effective as you might think. For example, if you try to follow excitement, the excitement disappears and only tension remains, or if you focus on breathing slowly to relieve tension, the tension becomes stronger, or if you meditate to relieve anxiety and become peaceful, the anxiety becomes stronger. In some cases, I was told to just do nothing, so I spent a few weeks doing nothing, but nothing really got better.

In fact, all the methods I tried seemed to have some effect, but they actually made the problem worse. For example, when there was a fire, it felt like covering the fire with flammable materials. Then, it seemed to work at first, but later the problem got worse. I practiced all the methods consistently for at least a few weeks, and if they were effective, they really caused big problems. They caused anxiety, tension, fear, etc.

The most effective thing was to ask my higher self for help. One day I tried most of the methods that were supposed to work, and I felt that if I continued on, I would be in big trouble. But I didn’t want to give up. At that time, the idea of ​​asking for help from my Higher Self came to me. From then on, I continued to ask for help from my Higher Self. Sometimes I simply asked for “comfort,” “peace,” “joy,” “physical relaxation,” “material abundance and freedom.” Sometimes I asked for “knowledge,” “understanding,” and sometimes I asked for “a certain state of spiritual awakening.” In fact, this help was so subtle that it was hard to recognize. However, when you ask for help, even if it doesn’t happen right away, it will happen a few days later when the opportunity to help you comes.

For example, when you ask for “a state of embodied awakening (a state of heightened awareness, a state where your body is connected to your Higher Self, etc.), you feel a pleasant sensation of subtle electricity and energy flowing through your body. In some cases, the next afternoon, I would suddenly experience strong energy, currents, and pleasant sensations flowing through my body for dozens of minutes.

When I requested astral projection, I spent about an hour or two lying in bed, lost in thought, and then experienced a vibration and a departure from my body. I requested this 3-4 times without any preparation or practice, and it actually worked. (However, it was not as interesting an experience as I thought. I was fully conscious every time, but everything was almost black and white. So I lost interest and stopped.)

When I requested relaxation, I waited for dozens of minutes, and when I briefly lost consciousness of my body or surroundings and fell into a fantasy, I experienced immediate physical relaxation. However, when I was surprised that I had relaxed and turned my attention back to my body, I started to feel physical discomfort again.

When I asked for immediate knowledge and understanding, I experienced that within a few minutes, an idea would come to me as if it were my own, or a few hours later, I would suddenly become interested in a topic and look it up, and the understanding I wanted would just come to me.

When I suddenly felt anxious or uncomfortable, I would ask my Higher Self to make me feel better. And I felt as if the wind was turning against me. It was turning the direction of the wind of anxiety against me and weakening it. And after a few dozen minutes, I could barely feel it.

One day, I became interested in the topic of Reiki and asked my Higher Self to do a sleep attunement. I did it for a few weeks and stopped because I didn’t feel much difference. However, one day, I heard that one of my friends felt strangely relaxed and happy when he was around me.

From these experiences, I learned that the help of my Higher Self definitely exists. Even if you ask once and forget about it, my Higher Self will definitely help you with what you ask for. And it doesn’t have to be for a lofty purpose. Even if you just want to be more comfortable and happy, or just ask for interest, it was enough. The help of the higher self can be very subtle at first. I have often stopped because it actually worked, but the effect was much weaker than I expected, or because the help was not given immediately or very naturally, and I didn't even know that I was receiving help. However, the help is definitely there, and even a little help or knowledge can greatly improve the situation. According to other people's experiences, asking for help from the higher self can seem ineffective at first, but if you ask consistently and repeatedly, you can feel very specific and distinct effects later. I am not at that level yet. However, I have been able to receive considerable help even if it is not to that extent. The higher self has actually allowed me to experience results that are difficult to achieve in the beginning with any spiritual practice, without any effort.

Anti anxiety.
