Shadow Needs the Sun
A Shadow Needs the Sun. A line from one of my favorite poems and song by original Simon Steadman and Charlton Pettus For Always. Love poem about everyone needing someone, comparing the shore needs the ocean to be called a shore, and your shadow is not visible without the sun, and a candle needs a flame. Everything is connected, it's all fitted together to make things work.

The Vehicle We Drive Around In
Fear can no longer stay buried inside like cancer. I ask myself: “Is there one cell or organ or strand or muscle or bone in the body that should be nurtured at the expense of all else in the body?” If there is, how do I choose? Every part of our body has a vital function and most of us are not even aware yet of what function each part of the body has. The general population is still learning the function of vital organs so things like neurons, sinews, and DNA are yet in relative oblivion. The past 200 years has seen a focus on personality so at least we are learning how The Operator works, and now there is a shift to learning more about The Vehicle we drive around in. For me, that Vehicle is symbolised in the world too e.g. billions of people—billions of cells; seven continents—seven main glands; major leaders—major organs; major river systems—major arteries and veins, etc.

Why I Live For Failure
I have made more mistakes than I can count since I became a mother. Shit, I have made more mistakes than I can count in just my 20s. I'm the first to admit that I am not a perfect person, let alone a perfect mother. But my failures are the greatest blessings I have ever endured. It took me entirely too long to realize what my favorite high school teacher was talking about when she told me "If you fall on your face, at least you're still moving forward." Granted, when you make a mistake as a new mother, falling on your face hurts a lot worse. It feels like every failure is ten times worse than it actually is because you suddenly have this tiny human who's relying on you to not fail. But after many long crying sessions in the shower and smoking in the backyard during nap time, I learned something pretty substantial that I think I need to share; you don't have to not fail, you just have to not stop trying when you do fail.

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #1
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Hi! My Name Is: Kyrsta (Who Am I?) My Self-discovery
Hi there! I'm Kyrsta and today I am writing this to share my journey of finding and loving myself. As long as I can remember, I have felt insecure—some reasons being genetic: not pencil thin, cowlicks in my hair, sparse eye brows, and of course bad teeth that required braces. All that is enough for most young girls, but I also got to live in my sister's shadow; my sister being a 6'2" pencil thin model with cheek bones that could cut you and the perfect candid laugh/smile combo to rock any picture at any angle, any time of the day. So I guess you could say from a young age I felt invisible. Sometimes that fact was horrible and I just wanted to be noticed, but other times it was a blessing and I didn't have to face people and they didn't need to see me.

The Journey of Self Discovery
When I first started this journey, I had no idea what I was even getting myself into, and I feel now, looking back, that I was just putting my toes in this big ocean of knowledge that resides in me. Now several months later, I realize how deep this ocean goes, and it’s mind-boggling. Its absolutely unreal who we are, and what we are capable of. I feel like a giddy school girl who has just discovered the big secret of life, and I want to tell everyone about it!

How to Beat Low Self-esteem
“I’m a loser.” “I’m not good at anything.” “How could anyone love me?” I am no stranger to inner thoughts like these. As an introverted, sensitive person with health issues that limit me physically, I have always found it difficult to fit in with the crowd and been the target of countless bullies, and so ever since my childhood I have struggled to find my self-worth.

What Is Your Soul Mission?
In our daily lives, we sometimes feel despaired; we lose hope and faith when things do not go right. We forget how to respond to our inner intuition. Realizing your nature as an eternal, infinite, and integral soul holds many gifts for you to explore and offer to the world. Your inner intuition and inner voice guide you through life and answers many of your questions, listen to it and trust yourself to follow your greatest joys. This does not mean that you have to forget your role as a parent, family member, friend, church member, etc. To find out what your inner soul purpose is, start with what you do when you wake up in the morning and aside from each activity, make a check mark as to whether or not it makes you a happier, healthier, better version of you or not. This step is all about awareness, not judgment, or even action. Be honest with yourself; don't hold back any feelings or judge yourself. Once you have completed this task, you will have a better understanding of what your soul purposes are.

The Truth About My Vitiligo
I wanted to write something a bit more personal. One thing I've grown to dislike about social media, which I have found myself doing as well, is almost creating a smoke screen between myself and the realm of the internet, because I was scared to be vulnerable. I realised that although I was putting myself out there I wasn't really connecting with anyone. I don't really like that so I want to re-define my presence on the gram and everywhere else where I reside on the internet. And I'm starting with this blog.
