rose quartz- open up your heart (ALSO NO NEED TO BE SHY!!)

fun fact, i used hachi to grab your energy better. but! so, your 2022 to me doesn't feel insanely unstable, but there does seem to be some dark, looming clouds that have thunder that isn't the good thunder. you have a lot of little punctures in your energetic field and they're very sad and very heavy. majority of them feel like past events, things people have said or done that have popped a hole in your sense of being; but some of them feel like self-put downs and shame. 2023 is a good year to start opening yourself up to yourself. i think its time to nurse some of those punctures and try to essentially see them for what they are. past events that hurt, though cannot continue to hurt you. when we're young and we have someone call us stupid, we tend to carry that title on for a lot longer than we need. someone made a hurtful comment, but does a hurtful comment have the right to define us as we are to ourselves? this is a fairly hard process, i think it's something many struggle with, but it's something to think about.

when you feel like being hard on yourself, try to forgive yourself. if you were already hard on yourself, acknowledge it and try to forgive yourself then. maybe you messed up somewhere. or maybe something didn't turn out how you wanted it to. the inner perfectionist will, no doubt, leap onto the chance to remind you of hurtful things, but its up to you to refuse to indulge. 

love yourself! even if it feels weird. it's okay to tell yourself you did good.
