Great post MindfulJourney22!
Recently I met someone who was quite unfriendly to me in the past. Initially when I saw them a feeling of anger came up but then I decided to say "Hello" what started a conversation. Although my body felt a little tense and my mind remembered the things that happened, I focused on what they told me. The story I heard, what they have been through was rough and I felt compassion for them. My head felt so much lighter after this conversation.

@amiablePeace77 well done ❤ you really are such a great living person ❤
@amiablePeace77 It sounds like you handled a tough situation with a lot of grace. By choosing to engage with kindness and compassion, you allowed yourself to release that tension and open up to a new perspective. It's not always easy, but it’s beautiful how you let your heart lead the way, even when the past was hard to forget. Well done!
@amiablePeace77. Omg your story reminds me of something that happened to me! I used to work in the hospital. There was a family who used to visit their family member who were very rough and demanding with the staff. I was in the grocery store when I saw one of the family members who said really nasty things to me. I turned to go the other direction. She ran after me and said, “I wanted to apologize to you for my behavior, we were going through a really hard time.” I felt myself filling with compassion for her. I saw her a few times after that and we had nice conversations.
@adventurousBranch3786
Nice that you had such a wonderful outcome at the end!
@MindfulJourney22 for the past month or two, I've only been able to move my right arm and head. I was so frustrated that I can't do the things I love, like drawing. But I worked really hard with myself, pushed through the frustration and worked with what I am able to do, and created painted some pictures I'm can be proud off 😁❤
@Tinywhisper11 Wow, that’s incredible! Despite such a challenging situation, you didn’t let frustration stop you, you worked with what you had, and the fact that you created something you’re proud of is truly inspiring. It shows so much strength and resilience. Keep celebrating those small victories; you’ve proven how powerful determination and creativity can be, even when things aren't easy. You're doing amazing! 🌟🎨❤️
@Tinywhisper11
Great job! Proud of you❤️
@daydreammemories thankyou ❤❤😁
@MindfulJourney22
I recently read a statement that answered a question I had. It gave me satisfaction that I had found the missing piece to my understanding. It gave me peace to discover that what I believed was true.
@Clio9876 that's great news ❤❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤
@MindfulJourney22
That is a cool initiative! Looking forward to read the stories ❤️
@MindfulJourney22 While shopping in a grocery store, a young boy approached asking for food, so I gave him a strawberry, but his disappointed reaction made me want to do more. I noticed he was with his mother, who was begging for money nearby, and I decided to take them both to the store to buy what they needed. The mother rushed to buy medicine, toiletries, and food, while the boy found a pair of sneakers he liked, which I bought for him. After purchasing everything, I realized I had spent all my extra cash, but I felt happy knowing I had helped and put a smile on their faces. As I left the store, the manager, suspicious of the situation, checked on me, but I was content, knowing that helping others is who I am, even if times can be hard. I’ve shopped for myself here many times, but in that moment, I thought, 'Why not shop for a family in need? 💛
