The Positivity Plaza

[-Soul-]

After a heartwarming chat with @Warmandfuzzy, .คℓ𝐞ﾋเᏰααα .ᐟ (sorry I can’t tag you as my keyboard doesn’t recognise your name) and the radiant @MissAnna , I felt inspired to carve out a cozy little corner of the forum just for us!! a place to pour out positivity, share affirmations, and sprinkle a bit of joy around for anyone who might need it.

Maybe you’re here to give? drop an uplifting thought, a kind word, or just good vibes. Fantastic!

Maybe you’re here to receive? seeking a little boost, some warmth, or a smile to carry with you. Beautiful!

Whatever brought you here, you belong. The world can be a heavy place sometimes, and we all deserve a pause, a breath, and a reminder that we are not alone.

I'm so glad you're part of this community. I'm honored to call you friends.
You are seen, you are loved, and you are wanted.

Let’s keep this plaza glowing.

[-Soul-]

This is your friendly reminder that you are enough as you are. You are enough in your whole entirety and that the person you are now is all the person you need. You don’t need to be someone else! You don’t need to be doing something different! You are you! And the people around you love you for who you are. I think it’s so easy for us to get caught up in for what we think we should be or how we should be living and the perceived perception by the people around us. But I think it’s a good opportunity to come back in, come back internal and notice the work that we embody, notice the worth that you embody. You are perfectly imperfect and that is just the way it is. Just don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of thinking that you should be doing more because you are you and people count their lucky stars because you are in their life. Remember this, Big love ❤️

You don’t have to change who you are to please anyone but yourself. If you WANT to change aspects of yourself, do it! But don’t do it to fit yourself in anyone else’s box. Boxes are made of cardboard and when the rains come, those boxes cease to hold shape. That’s like life…we weren’t made to contain all that we are in a human-made construct. Be authentically and unapologetically YOU. And just remember, the you of today doesn’t have to be the you of tomorrow. Fluidity is a beautiful thing. 💜

[.คℓ𝐞ﾒเᏰααα .ᐟ]

I've said all of this before, but I'm wanting to say it again.

 

You are valid just the way you are. You are little, with or without a romantic partner or platonic caregiver.

You are uniquely you. No one can ever take your place. It might not always feel like it, but love surrounds you. In the direction you're looking in, and within yourself. You deserve to feel it.

You deserve to overcome childhood trauma, if you have it. You deserve happiness. You deserve to dream, wildly. You deserve to feel better.

You deserve having peace of mind in a safe space. You deserve to make littlespace, yourspace. You are allowed to speak up and say no. Your safety is important.

You are a beautiful soul, so don't let anyone- including yourself, tell you otherwise~

You are not alone.

You can over come your trauma. Just take baby steps day by day. Babble incoherently while hugging a stuffie, if you need to.

You'll get there.

In the meantime; feel the kindness, spread the kindness, be the kindness.

Love yourself and everyone around you. Take the negativity that surrounds you and kill it with kindness, not fire. Because you're worth it.

You got this. I believe in you.

One of my favorite quotes and perfect to use as my first post here:

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It ia a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

[-Soul-]

Affirmation: “I am worthy of my own approval and acceptance.”
 

You are worthy. You may not always feel like you are succeeding or productive. You may even feel like you are falling short to the expectations and approval of others. The important thing to remember is to accept yourself, approve of yourself. We are flawed and imperfect, and in that there is beauty. We learn from imperfection, we find those flaws and shape our strengths. You are beautiful and worthy, even when the outside world tries to tell you that you aren’t.

[Warmandfuzzy]

All of us are inherently worthy. No matter where we are currently or where we have been, we are all here now in this community today. And I am so grateful you are here and reading these words 😊 This community is a place where we can make the world brighter and a little better. This community is built around a dynamic of taking care of others, which is such a beautiful thing when it is pursued with honest and true intentions. Taking care of and loving others is humanities highest calling. Altruism is the greatest part of our better nature. So let us stop for a moment in this fast paced world, take a deep breath and check in with ourselves and say "I am worthy and I am loved." Then, let us reach out to someone else that we cross paths with today. Maybe it is a loved one or maybe it is a stranger on the street that we may never see again. Either way, now, in this moment, we have a golden opportunity to smile, share a greeting and say kind words to make someone else's life brighter and a little better. So much is happening in this world. But we each can make it better! We don't know what the impacts of one simple act of kindness can have upon the person we bestow our efforts on. Our positivity and kindness can echo through the lives we touch and ripple out into eternity!!!

I will end this post with the story of the star thrower, adapted by Loren Eiseley:

An old man had a habit of early morning walks on the beach. One day, after a storm, he saw a human figure in the distance moving like a dancer. As he came closer he saw that it was a young woman and she was not dancing but was reaching down to the sand, picking up a starfish and very gently throwing them into the ocean.

"Young lady," he asked, "Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" 

"The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if I do not throw them in they will die." 

"But young lady, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You cannot possibly make a difference." 

The young woman listened politely, paused and then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves, 

saying: "It made a difference for that one!"

The old man looked at the young woman inquisitively and thought about what she had done. Inspired, he joined her in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and starfish were saved.

This little bit of advice helped someone I talked to earlier, so maybe it will help you too!

Whatever journey you're on... whether it's work/school, learning a new skill, fighting your depression, struggling with drug/alcohol abuse, working on your diet/exercise...WHATEVER it may be...

It's ok to fail. It's ok to be weak and stumble time to time. It's not the end of the world.

Pick yourself up and tell yourself to do better next time.

And when you fail again, pick yourself back up and tell yourself you'll do better next time. And when you fail again, do it again.

There's a lot of numbers between 0% and 100%.

If you make 1% of progress each day, you'll be at 100% in 100 days, won't you? So even if you make a fraction of a % each day... you'll get there pretty damn soon.

You can do it! I believe in you. It's GOING to be difficult, so don't make it harder by beating yourself up. As long as you're trying, then you're NOT a failure.

Love you all ❤️

Staying positive is undoubtedly a better mindset than defeat, but sometimes it’s okay to be in your feels. Sometimes crying can be cathartic and rejuvenating. If you feel like crying, cry. Laughing, laugh. Dancing, dance. Shouting, shout. Release whatever you’re clinging to that’s bogging you down. We are taught that negative emotions are inherently bad, but we feel all feelings for a reason. Give yourself grace on days when you can’t quite get it together and celebrate the days you have success. Both are just as important to the story of you. 💜

 @-Soul- such a beautiful inspirational post you have made.

 I'm so happy to see so many uplifting others and posting such beautiful positivity 💞

No matter where you remember you past doesn't control your future, your scars do not define who you are, and you're so much stronger than you realize!

I'm so proud of each and everyone of you! Never forget your worth and how much you are needed 💖

Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved ❤️

[-Soul-]

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is:

It is okay. It’s okay for me to be kind to myself. It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay to get mad. It’s okay to be flawed. It’s okay to be happy. It’s okay to move on.

If you feel like you're losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.

[MissAnna]

Never forget how far you have come in life. All the times you pushed on when you felt you couldn't. All the mornings you got out of bed no matter how hard it was. All the times you wanted to give up but you kept moving forward. You are so brave and so strong, I'm so proud of all of you all ❤️

[MissAnna]

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL 

YOU ARE KIND

YOU ARE AMAZING 

YOU ARE BRAVE

YOU ARE SMART 

YOU ARE STRONG 

AND MOST OF ALL

YOU ARE LOVED 💞

I was feeling low, and I came here. Now I want to share some positivity! 
 

When it’s raining hold someones hand so they don’t slip

Give up a meal so they aren’t hungry

Share a kind word

Listen to someone who is struggling 

Give a hug

Play a game with someone who is lonely

Remember important dates like birthdays

Share something you learned 

Help someone grow and be a better person

Be a better you! You can! You matter it’s enough! ❤️

 

[-Soul-]

“You can’t control the wind!, you can however adjust your sails!”

 

something else I’m learning with time 

 

 

[LittleBiscut]

You’re right and that’s okay, learning comes with time. You can learn at your own pace as long as you’re giving yourself credit for change. 💕 

[-Soul-]

I just want to see everyone winning in life. So if you're reading this, I'm rooting for you. May all your soons turn into finally. 🙏

[-Soul-]

Be good to yourself first, then to others. You can’t take care of others until you take care of yourself first.

[MissAnna]

YOU'RE ENOUGH.

 

YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH.

 

YOU ARE STRONG. YOU ARE UNIQUE.

 

YOU ARE NEEDED.

 

YOU BRING TO THIS WORLD THINGS NO ONE ELSE CAN, YOU ARE PERFECT EXACTLY AS YOU ARE.

 

YOU DESERVE THE BEST.

 

YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE.

 

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, INSIDE AND OUT.

 

YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."-Nelson Mandela

I always smile and know that within this community, there are others who share of themselves and encourage one another. it always brightens my day. I have read many posts about those who are struggling or facing a challenge. And I have always seen others reaching their hands down to pull the person up who is down. This community is so full of kindness and courage. Courage to help, to heal, and to embrace who we are. In a world that tells us to conform, to submit, to be crushed under its weight, here I see individuals defiantly letting the world know who this is who I am. We have all come from struggles and faced adversity, walked in the darkness and for some of us we bear the scars of trauma. But what defines you, what defines me, is that we triumph and become better people for that adversity! Let our lives be defined not by what has been, but by what we are and what we will be!!! Courage, hope, kindness and love. Let us cherish the best of ourselves and each other and know that here in this place, we are given the opportunity to grow and sprout our roots and reach for the stars. May we humbly embrace what this experience is that is called life, and flourish here with our friends!
