I love this. It reminds me of something I read recently; that being true to yourself is magnetic, and being magnetic is inherently polarising. You draw those who resonate with you to you and those who don't far away. I'd take that a million times over. Also; I miss Shi Chan!!!

Yes ! I was talking about this recently with a friend too - she said we forget that being magnetic always means you're repelling at the same level. So powerful. And I miss Shi chan every day 😭😭

What a gorgeous read and reminder!! Probably felt even more timely given I'm working quite deeply on this and reconnecting with the younger version of myself too (which I saw in parts of the qualities you shared in Shi chan), and allowing myself to be unapologetic in expression. Thank you for sharing ❤️

This was so sweet and enchanting to read 🤎 children are such wonderful mirrors and expanders, especially the little girls that are so unapologetically themselves 🌸

Right !!! I just love them so much and so want to protect them from ever losing that expression 🥹

This piece is beyond beautiful. ♡ I have been practising my own version of this throughout much of this year and it has been eye- and heart-opening to witness all the ways I'd been denying and betraying myself for most of my life. Thank goodness for little girls like Shi chan and our own inner little girls to remind us of what we love and what we want. ❀

How fitting that I'm reading this beautiful example of Shi chan as I hit publish on my latest post 😩🫦 I just found the courage to go on my first ever solo trip to Bali. I leave this Thursday. The theme of "SELF LOVE" in the studio couldn't come at a more perfect time -- I am learning to choose myself. To fling open all the doors. To run, giddy and excited, toward the future. Thank you for your example Emmie, and for being my inspiration always 🪽
