Yeah! Cool friend indeed. :) Hmmm... I think we are if we make that conscious effort and maybe we are even if we don't, but sometimes it seems like many are devolving so I'm not sure... But, maybe there's something deeper going on spiritually.

The phoenix is a good symbol! I think similar of myself often.

Yeah! It's great to be making some progress even if I always wish it was more. I gotta learn to be happy what small increments.

Thanks for the nice sentiments in regard to me being more at peace! :)

Whoa... Pretty deep what you said about your ocd and anger and how you turned it inward like that... I think I did similar and punished myself a lot and sometimes still do, but after working on self love and forgiveness I've been being a lot more kind and compassionate to myself! And others as well as a result.

That's good to hear you've worked on healing and also your relationship with your family too. I've been doing similar. <3

Sorry to hear you've experienced so much stress, existence can be a very unforgiving place which is one reason I think it's good for us to be able to forgive ourselves and others more.
Thank you for the peace and love! And all the great emojis too. :D Love the caterpillar and butterfly ones!
Best wishes friend! :)
