After taking 252 selfies, trying every angle, I realised that the beauty of the soul is more important. 🙃
Humans invented mirrors to admire themselves, then started using filters, because the mirror was too honest.
A warm Hello✨️ my dear 12.2 K followers✨️.
I wonder how you stumbled upon Talk Child... whatever brought you here, thank you for staying, liking and being a part of this community.
The older I get, the more I realize that adulthood is mostly about performative politeness, buying groceries, paying bills, worrying,
pretending to know what you're doing, and hiding panic professionally.
Modern life feels like a scam. All we do is work and sleep. But we never have enough money and are always tired!
Doomscrolling social media has shown me two things - first there are some incredibly brilliant people out there... and second they are vastly outnumbered. Tough era for those attracted to 'natural' intelligence .🙄
I love it when someone calls & starts with,
“Hey, quick question…” and then ruins your day🙄 It’s usually neither quick… nor a question.
The Number one cause of stress in everybody's life is other people. And here's the thing, we can't control other people - what they say, think or do.
And the one thing that creates exhaustion in your inner world is your inability to be yourself.
Self awareness is enriching and here's some random & revealing information about me, in completely unnecessary detail :
- I watch crime shows to relax.
-Sometimes I can't tell if I'm exhausted, overhwelmed, perimenopausal, iron deficient, live in poor air quality, or its all just my husbands fault!
- I don't give my husband butterflies in his stomach anymore but I do give him a neck ache at times. His words, not mine.
- I like my cheese & quiet anyday over engaging with people. People exhaust me more than actual work.
- Peace, to me, is sitting home with snacks, bad posture, oversized clothes, deeply comfortable, and emotionally unavailable.
There's a quiet luxury and connection between looking terrible, and feeling wonderful. Have you felt this ever?
- I'm not a fan of handshakes 🤝. My preferred greeting style is a polite namaste, a small wave 👋 or a big tight hug, if its someone dear. The palm ceremony really confuses me. I mean you met someone 8 seconds ago, why extend your hand to exchange bacteria unnecessarily?
- I’ve grown into my work over the years. With age, experience, and hundreds of conversations, I think I’ve become better at understanding people - and myself.
The more people I meet, the more human I become. There’s something incredibly meaningful about clients returning after years, carrying pieces of old conversations and saying, "I remembered something you once told me.” That, and getting paid for the sessions, keeps the spirit alive.
Things that quietly exhaust me:
`````````````````````````````````````````````
•Inauthentic people.
•Fiercely competitive adults
•People trying too hard to impress
•Unnecessary handshakes.
•Loud egos and fragile character
•Show offs
•Secretive, jealous people pretending to be supportive.
• Lies
What triggers you?
Do share something about yourself in the comments.
Discover yourself- thats essentially what counselling helps you do - unpack and understand yourself.
