Peony - The Dignity of Being Soft and Strong

Image
    Mornings sometimes begin with a heaviness that belongs not to the physical body, but to memory - that deep, concealed memory of the cells that remember every expectation imposed upon us from the outside. Light creeps through the linen curtains slowly, sparse and almost timid, as if afraid to disturb the dreams still swaying in the shadows of the room. On the wooden table, right where the first sunbeam touches the surface, stands a vase of peonies. Their bloom is opulent, heavy, saturated to the absolute limit -  like a heart that has allowed itself to be filled completely , without fear of overflowing, without guilt for taking up so much space. I gaze at them in the quiet of the early hour and think of those days when everything within us required us to be small, convenient, quiet, and unobtrusive, so as not to disturb anyone with our presence.

Have the courage to be yourself without justifying

Life is filled with situations where we are faced with the demands and expectations of others. Social acceptance and approval are incentives that often drive us to change ourselves to fit their ideals and norms. However, in this constant battle for recognition, we can easily lose ourselves. That's why it is important to have the courage to be yourself without justifying.

 
Having the courage to be oneself means accepting and valuing oneself as we are, without conforming to the expectations of others. It doesn't mean becoming irresponsible or ignoring the opinions of others. Nonetheless, it means staying true to ourselves and our values, even if it means rejecting certain standards or avoiding the need to justify our actions.
 
When we have the courage to be ourselves, we expose our true feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to the world. Instead of trying to fit in with others, we choose to be honest and open about who we are and what we want. This allows the people around us to see and understand us in a more genuine way, accepting us for who we are without requiring us to justify or change ourselves.
 
Justifying oneself is often associated with fear of rejection or judgment from others. When we try to justify ourselves, we essentially deny ourselves and our actions. Not only does it deprive us of our individuality and authenticity, but it also prevents us from forming genuine connections with others. By having the courage to be ourselves without justifying, we embrace our true selves and invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.
