Efforts in a slower, holistic and intentional life,

Hi! Welcome to my channel where a life rooted in intentional, holistic and slow living - anything from travels, soul talks, plant-based tips, conscious consumption, creativity, and whatever else calls for visual journaling. Many things in the realm of decolonial holistic well-being and existence.

Hope you find something here to connect to too.

With love, M.

Thank you so much for sharing this. As a “first born” of a similar background, a lot of what you mentioned resonated, and so too did some of how you lived as a young person with premature responsibilities. I am on the side of the coin that perhaps went too quickly, but intentionally, into parenthood and now relearning on this side of the experience. I’m thankful, though, that we come back to ourselves and relearn and explore, identify and move toward healing. However late one thinks they are, I do believe we really are on time. It takes us however long it takes but let’s have grace that we make it to self-realisation at all. Thank you again for sharing and may we all remember our true selves ❤.

as an african woman in the us i def relate to this but can we talk for a sec about how our moms were giving “i don’t want to be a mom” vibes?? bc i, too, asked my mom if she always wanted to have kids and when i tell you i was shocked when she responded w an enthusiastic “yes”?? as a kid i knew my mom loved me, and she worked so hard to provide my family w a stable life (dad tried but mom was always more stable) but she was always so stressed and anxious and tired. so as a kid i felt like a burden. my mom was either at work on her feet all day or at home tired. and w capitalism the way it is, i really empathize w her. that work grind, that persistent immigrant anxiety… the pressure to be a useful, productive african woman… it really got in the way of everyone’s wellbeing. i love and respect our work ethic but now i’m finally learning how essential rest and relationship-building is. thank you for sharing, as always ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - and I do feel you on the pressure our parents were under as well in these contexts and societies we live in. I also think that perhaps many of our parents never even considered the option of full lives without children, so it was perhaps for some, unthinkable because "of course you want to have kids". It is a privilege for us to be able to even question if being a parent is for us and to understand what it could cost us and if we feel we could manage that kind of responsibility.... I have empathy for my parent's generation in that regard; to live in a time of fulfilling expectations rather than knowing you could question and choose what feels right for you. I also try to remember that perhaps different generations judge what makes a good parent and what is needed to be a good parent differently - feeding, clothing, housing and giving us an opportunity for a safer, better life - things that are important but that also could have felt like basic needs to meet for a child, might have been their highest aspirations as parents... In a weird way, it is also thanks to those basic needs being met that we could perhaps have space to aspire for more than just that finally🌿💕

Girl! I can totally relate. I am the oldest girl from an African country and born in Europe and I grew up in a very difficult environment and the best word to describe it was/is: fear that is all I knew and went through the same abuse you mentionned.. I was constantly put down, humiliated by my parents publicly or not (especially my mother who loves to see me suffer) to the point that my all of my 6 siblings would do the same needless to say that I am the scapegoat yet, they copy what I do till this day. I am the sensitive one, an empath who was parentified for a long time to the point that it felt normal. I grew up feeling like an orphan and that's the reason why I would help even as a adult so that I was not feeling alone given that all these traumas made me have anxiety attacks to the point that I was scared to go out alone. As a child, I would daydream a lot! I wanted to travel and meet different people and despite my anxiety and depression I travelled, learned several languages and loved it. Weirdly enough I feel more safe abroad by myself than with my family of origin, I hate going to my hometown. I also feel behind but I have to remind myself that I am doing the best with what I have. My foundation was made out of chaos and hate. I had to uproot myself and planted myself to a healthier environment . It takes time to grow in this different environment but little by little, I am adapting to a ground of LOVE❤ Thank you😊

I truly believe that a childhood is a sacred and precious phase of life - and that we would all be better adults and have better societies if our childhoods/innocence were seen as precious and worthy of protecting by any means. If we were raised by adults who too had respected and protected childhoods....If you never got the childhood you deserved, I hope you find the courage, compassion and patience to give your inner-child one as an adult - I hope it heals you and finally allows you to bloom into the thriving adult you were meant to be🌻🌵

Hi! I stumbled upon your channel today and I just want to express how much I appreciate this video! I turned 30 at the end of last year and have really started to feel the pressure of certain milestones or societal expectations, both professional and personal, and it's been an ongoing journey of trying to pin down/remember my personal goals and path. I've always known I didn't want a traditional career path and I resonate with sooo much of what you touched on from wanting to find stability in your own way to being first gen and the eldest daughter of an immigrant family, to your views on religion/spirituality, this video made me feel very seen. Thank you for sharing ☀

Hey again, I am not sure if you are still in the same situation you mentioned on my recent video - but I can imagine it is hard and tiring to find creative energy when feeling a little overwhelmed by life- taking an intentional break to care for yourself, if that is what is needed, would not mean that your book will never be accomplished - I often find that a rested/cared for mind can bring much more new inspiration and energy for the things I love❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing, I resonate so much with what you said. Im 30 years old and recently one of my friend ask if i wanted to have kids why havent I started. Like you said I dont want to have kids and im not establish in myself. But then I have been thinking lately, what if nothing change drastically years from now, am I just going to keep hoping and letting the time pass me by. I want to buy myself a van and travel the world, create content, im a writer and an Artist. I want to live the life I want to and not be settled for what is thrown at me. I dont want to be force to live the life everyone settle with. Of course I want to get married, I want a home, a garden, kids, a steady income, but I want to accomplish that doing the things I love and not be unhappy and restricted in someone else vision of a 9/5. Usually I work 14hr a day every day for 8 months contract sailing and im miserable for that period of my existence. I figure i wasted too much time living for the world and just want now to be happy
@mayiinbloom
@mayiinbloom 2 месяца назад
Thank you for sharing your hopes, dreams and journey so far❤️ I can imagine how hard it is to find what you are doing to sustain yourself is making you miserable - I hope you never forget that with just little goals and choices you can find and create your own path to making a living with more harmony and alignment - As long as you are learning, nothing is wasted and since you are a writer, even more - because everything you experience good or bad has the potential to add more depth to your stories and emotions shared. You deserve to be happy and I continue to root for you😊🌱

This is so beautiful and needed! Literally every single thing you've mentioned are things I can relate to and that I'm going through right now. As you've said, one of the greatest discoveries we can make is that none of us undergo isolated experiences. We can always be sure that there are people around the world feeling the same things you're feeling, all of us in our own particular contexts. That's a beautiful realization to draw strength and connectivity from. That we're part of the human experience. Thank you so much for sharing. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
