I'm lost in the forest. It's night. And foggy. I hear owls. I am alone. That is the mood here.
Welcome to Wistful Wednesdays
If you're here to see what I've found this week for my Wistful Wednesdays curation series, I'm gonna have to ask you again to go deep with me.
Can you do that? These entries are not generally light-hearted, they are drenched with deep emotions and they are not to be read quickly.
If you don't have time to grab a cup of coffee or tea or wine or a bottle of something terrible, then you might as well move on along for now and come back when you have the time to lose yourself.
If you do have to leave, I hope you come back later. And if you're staying, I do sincerely hope you enjoy the treats I'm feeding you today. And if I've featured you, I hope that you're okay with it.
Deep thinkers are my favorites. If I've listed you here, it means I think you're mysterious and deep and fascinating and I'm stalking you now.
Alright.. here we go.. I'm not going to talk about these entries, I'm just going to post quotes from them, so you'll know if you want to dive further into their thoughts. Do remember to upvote if the content moves you! They may sometimes be nearing the payout deadline, so please do upvote quickly! ♥
Hair Salon Thoughts: Physical Insecurities
by 
"I have anxiety. When I was younger, entering a salon or any unfamiliar places for the first time kills me. Sometimes I prolong the agony by thinking for hours before entering or I just cancel the plan altogether and postpone it the next time with a friend. It's one of the reasons why I cut and color my hair by myself.
When I got older though, I learned the art of not giving a fuck, so whether I am alone or with a friend and anxiety hits me, I can still confidently go inside and casually ask for their services and prices. (But I still avoid high-end stores because I look so plain for such luxury. Of course I know it's wrong to think so.)
Today, I am with my cousin in a salon to have her hair rebonded for the first time. I believe this is her first time entering a salon as well, so I suggested that I'd come with her. Surrounded by confident ladies, I can't help but remember my own insecurities. Physical ones..."

A deep breath
completely
past
the lungs
as if they
never existed
Gasping
in cycles
of nothingness
desperate
pleas
running out
of time
And space
to live
and celebrate
life or
what we
knew
Adjacent
to the pain
that always
seems to
rear its
ugly
head

Finding your north, your sense of purpose
by 
"I may have to apologize for the somber subject. I realize that to some thinking about these things does not bring joy to their lives. But, my intention as you might imagine is to invite those who would listen to think about the not so obvious things in life. Yes, this video is quite existentialist, but sometimes I can't help myself.
If this resonated with you, or if you have another point of view you would like to share, I would love to hear it. So, don't be shy and engage.
