“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
-Maya Angelou

There is, indeed, no greater agony than that (at least none that I am aware of). When I started writing on Medium, I did it purely to get rid of pent-up emotions that I’ve been holding within for too long.

Their unity is sacred, representing the order of the Universe — they are inseparable, their qualities beautifully blending in a harmonious cosmic dance: She is a nurturing, generous Goddess, while Liza is harsh and fierce.

Her story says much about greed, scarcity mentality and other destructive human behaviors that lead to harmful actions towards each other, Earth and, inevitably, its resources. …

What does it mean to live intentionally?

In short, it means knowing our worth, beauty, value and strength, while making a conscious decision every day to live life how we want. To do everything with a clear purpose and dismiss any mindless activities. To say “bye bye” to autopilot and “hello” to mindful us.

We are imperfect humans and living intentionally doesn’t come easy. We seek perfection because it somewhat protects us from the pain of failure, but in truth, this search actually cuts us off from the possibility of embracing the full spectrum of our humanness. …
