Hi guys, tell me something whatever comes from you

I was saved last year when I wanted to take my life. Since then, I’ve been trying to learn more about myself as to why I am the way I am. That’s when I became obsessed with MBTI. Even though people say it’s pseudo science, being an INFJ describes me 99.9% perfectly. I’m also an HSP and neurodivergent. Now my friends told me to check if I have autism because of how I am. Me having autism has never crossed my mind in all of my 42 years. I said…hey, why not? Might as well get the doubt off my mind. I was thinking maybe mild traits. When I saw the results, my jaw dropped, I stared at the wall for for a few minutes in shock with tears in my eyes. Not because it’s bad being autistic, but I was just speechless. Now I want to go to a professional for confirmation. For anyone who has gone through this, how is the process?

What a year

If you see a person preaching hate & another person complaining about the person preaching hate & your instinct is to complain about the person who is complaining instead of the person who is preaching hate, what does that say about your values?

I started finding little things make u much more happier than a spontaneous burst of happiness, just like we are made up of our past

Little things

Say NO to druhgs! Although they might be cheap but eventually they can make your hospital bills real expensive!

No to Dr*gs

Life

I give them warmth with hands that bleed,
But they never ask why my palms are cold.
I speak in silences, scream through smiles,
Yet my echoes die in rooms too full to hear.

I carry their burdens like sacred bones,
But no one sees the weight on my spine.
I build worlds for those I love to rest in—
While I sleep in ruins, alone with my mind.

They sip my light like wine at dusk,
But never notice the shadows it leaves behind.
And when I reach to be understood,
The void just stares… with familiar eyes.

Whispers of Autumn on a Summer Morning

Love bombing is a manipulation tactic where someone overwhelms another person with excessive affection, attention, flattery, gifts, and promises very early in a relationship, often to gain control or create a sense of dependency.

At first, it can feel like intense romance:
	•	Constant texting or calling
	•	Lavish compliments or grand gestures
	•	Talking about the future very soon (e.g. marriage, kids)
	•	Saying “I love you” unusually early

But the goal is often to disarm you emotionally, so you lower your boundaries and attach quickly. Once the person feels they have control, their behavior can suddenly shift, becoming distant, critical, or even abusive. This pattern is especially common in narcissistic relationships or toxic dynamics.

In short:
It looks like love, but it’s about control, not care. Real love builds gradually. Love bombing rushes and floods.

Love Bombing

Everybody is seeking deep connection while keeping their heart locked 🔒 that's when healing is needed

The real reason someone is empathetic depends on a combination of nature, upbringing, and experience. There is no single cause, empathy is shaped by biology, psychology, and life events.

Here’s a breakdown of the main contributing factors:

1. Biological Foundations (Nature)

	•	Genes: Some people are naturally more sensitive and emotionally attuned due to inherited traits.
	•	Brain structures: Areas like the anterior insula and the mirror neuron system are more active in people with high empathy.
	•	Hormones: Oxytocin (often called the bonding hormone) plays a role in empathy, especially in attachment and social connection.

2. Childhood Environment (Nurture)

	•	Secure attachment: A child who felt seen, comforted, and safe often develops healthy empathy.
	•	Modeling behavior: Children learn empathy by observing how their caregivers treat others with compassion and respect.
	•	Emotionally open homes: Environments where emotions were named, accepted, and processed encourage the development of empathy.

3. Adaptation to Trauma

	•	Some people become highly empathetic because they had to:
	•	Predict a caregiver’s moods (a survival mechanism),
	•	Maintain safety or a sense of control in chaotic environments,
	•	Win love or approval by attuning to others’ needs.

This is often referred to as “hyper-empathy”, it may appear as kindness on the outside but can actually stem from fear and come at the cost of one’s own boundaries and well-being.

4. Conscious Choice and Growth

	•	Some people cultivate empathy through personal pain, spiritual practices, therapy, or intentional inner work.
	•	This kind of empathy is not reactive,  it is grounded, boundaried, and combines compassion with clarity.

So what is the real reason for empathy?

Empathy is not just one thing. For some, it’s:

	•	A gift of temperament
	•	A wound turned into wisdom
	•	A skill shaped by experience
	•	A survival strategy
	•	Or a blend of all these factors

The healthiest and most lasting form of empathy is not driven by fear or guilt, but by authentic connection, awareness, and respect for one’s own boundaries.

Empathy: Gift, Wound, or Survival Strategy?

Quote of the day

Would you rather be with someone who always has your back, no questions asked—or someone who pushes you to think differently, even if it means calling you out sometimes? Why?

I know almost everything about self control 😏

Curious to see your perspectives, why is it harder for people to admit they're wrong or to admit they don't know something.

Disclaimer: Kindly avoid debating someones answer or arguing ffs 😭

Admitting

A little real talk for my beautiful ladies on here,
Come closer, baby girl, and let me break it down for you, straight no chaser.🥃
Here’s how it really works, and trust me, there’s no shortcut, no workaround.

If a man is emotionally ready for love, he knows in 3 to 4 dates if you’re her, the one.
You won’t need to decode him like a puzzle.
Men are not that deep when it comes to what they want.
They tell you.
But you gotta listen, not to what you hope he’s saying, but to what he’s actually telling you.
No, he’s not “sending mixed signals”, you’re just ignoring the clear ones.
Believe a man the first time he shows you who he is. Every. Single. Time.

Stop overanalyzing.
He’s not a cryptic poem, you don’t need a thesis to understand him.
Men hate complications. They’ll ghost confusion real quick.
So don’t twist yourself up trying to “figure him out.”
He’s already shown you the map, if it’s not leading where you want to go, reroute, babe.

And let’s kill the fantasy, once and for all.
Stop falling for potential.
Who he is when you meet him? That’s your man. Not the future version you created in your mind.
No, you can’t fix him. No, he won’t change just because you loved him enough.
Take him as he is, or let him go. Full stop.

Now raise your glass, gorgeous. 🥂
It’s really not that complicated.
You’re the prize, act like it.

Love, to me, is not just an emotion. It’s a language. A memory. A pull toward wholeness. I’m endlessly fascinated by the reasons we reach for one another, how some connections feel like recognition, like remembering, like home. And how, even in heartbreak, there’s beauty in what gets revealed.

Why we love says so much about who we are beneath the surface… our wounds, our hopes, our patterns, our poetry. I find myself drawn to the subtle moments: the way someone softens when they feel safe, the courage it takes to be truly seen, the ache behind the walls we build. Love exposes us, not to weaken us but to invite us deeper into ourselves.

Being deeply intrigued by human nature, especially why we love, is like holding a mirror up to the soul and gently asking,
           “What are you longing for?”
What do you believe your love patterns are trying to teach you about yourself?

👇👇👇

On my way to the gas station, a thought hit me.

This question goes out to all the people who had to move on from a heavy past or trauma.

1. How'd you do it?
2. What pushed you to move past it?
3. How are you doing now?
Lastly, if there is one tip you can share to people who might be going through the same thing right now. What would that tip or advice be?

Disclaimer: You do not need to explicitly state or share private details about your past, as this is for your protection. If you need someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to dm me.

Some people don’t just enter your life, they arrive with a quiet purpose.

They don’t come to stay forever, but to awaken something inside you.
They show up with love in their words, clarity in their presence, and wisdom born from pain.
They’ve walked through their own fires, carried the weight of their own wounds, and learned to turn their scars into maps for others.

These are the people who come to heal.
To remind you who you are.
To reflect back your strength when you’ve forgotten it.
To help you unlearn patterns rooted in survival, and guide you gently toward connection, wholeness, and truth.

They teach by being.
They lead by embodying.
They share what they’ve lived, because healing isn’t just personal, it’s collective.

In a world still recovering from generations of trauma and disconnection, we need more of these souls.
Those who choose love over ego. Truth over image. Depth over performance.

They come not to save us, but to remind us that we were never broken, only buried.

Together, with people like this, we begin to shift. We create healthier relationships. More conscious connections.
We stop repeating inherited pain, and start building something rooted in honesty, accountability, and care.

If you’ve met someone like this, hold space for them.
If you are someone like this, thank you. We need you more than ever.

I myself write with intention, to heal, to guide, to let you know that I see you. To nourish the parts of your soul that have been forgotten, fractured, or left unfed.

With Love, 

Sylvie

I came to heal you

I'm just so exhausted
and the truth is 
I exhaust others. ❤️‍🩹
