Owner of @theinkysunshine views on self-growth
Intro from Throughout.Within:
Hey everyone! This is a special article written by Daivi, the founder and owner of @theinkylittlesunshine, an “initiative to spread happiness and radiate positivity in every corner of the world.” Running this instagram account has allowed her to not only impact other people’s lives, but also to do a lot of growing herself. In this piece she talks about her motivation behind starting @theinkysunshine and why she continues to love what she does. Enjoy!
"Be graceful and kind to your mind: it's a very special place you live; water and nurture it for it could take you places!"
It is tough finding hope and gratitude in places filled with despair and hurt. We've all been in a little dark pit at some point in our lives and it's okay; in fact, it's incredible to share or talk about your emotions and experiences because you aren't alone. Sometimes talking about things that make you feel uncomfortable is the only way to bring yourself comfort.
There have been times where I felt completely lost and could not find my way back to feeling hopeful and blessed. Now, I understand that it is completely fine to feel everything, to feel broken and hurt, and to heal again; it's only human to be and do this. I can write about my experience and what I have learned today simply because I know what its true meaning is. Going through hard times is not easy and it never will be, but when you do go through something tough, make sure you get something out of it, whether it be wisdom, experience, or hope. You grow from these things and do not merely go through them.
We all gain deep feelings of failure, hurt, hopelessness (or any of the innumerable feelings we're allowed to contain) only to grow from them. I promise you they are here for long, and will eventually heal. It is an uphill climb that will surely make you grow.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable sharing some of these things (along with my work on @theinkysunshine), I do so because I know there are humans out there that need to hear what I write. Bringing someone a little comfort, smile, or inspiration for a millisecond is why I started spreading hope and gratitude with my vulnerable words in the first place 🤍
Our world is filled with a little too much right now and what it needs the most is humanity. We must spread kindness and sunshine around because we never know what storm one might be going through, especially in times like these."Bring out the sun within to shine!"
It's what I believe in and wish to spread around as the founder of @theinkysunshine : )
It's been about eight months since I've started spreading this chain of hope, gratitude, and sunshine with others in order to connect with you on a heart to heart level. I believe I have grown a lot because of @theinkysunshine. Also because of this account, I have come up with thoughts and ideas that have contributed to my growth as a human being and have helped the growth of others. I am so incredibly grateful for having started this. I know for a fact that there is at least one of you reading what I post and smiling or gaining inspiration, and that's all that I need to know to keep going. We're here to help grow each other, let's do it, let’s bring the sun beneath to shine, despite it all ☀️
