To acknowledge the potential for great pain or sadness if you lower your guard in the face of disappointment, and then still choose love over fear, is one of the most courageous things that people can do. And it’s the only way to truly let go and live fully.—KM

Hey Nostr, Ollie here!

I just landed in Primal and, apparently, introducing yourself is part of the local customs—so here we go!

Even though I’m originally from Barcelona (yes, the Mediterranean, that place famous for not having waves), I somehow defied the odds and became a surf photographer. Now, I’ve upgraded my life and settled in the lovely surf town of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica 🇨🇷.

If you want to check out my work—or just confirm I’m not making all of this up—head to my website and get to know me a bit better.

Catch you around!

Nostr about to level up with all this new feminine energy I'm seeing on my feed.

I love cooking at home.

Many people have no idea of the mental, economic and physical benefits such a beautiful habit can bring.

No need to do anything fancy, but to take time to reflect on the day past, the day to come, and relax the mind.

Do you cook?

I’m glad you liked the piece. I agree with ch 11 on specifics like carnal desires as something natural and sexual fulfillment as a therapeutic agency. Intimacy can be powerful when fulfilled both sexually and emotionally.

But the challenge I have with his book (as well as absolute meditation without reality check) is blurring the lines between confidence vs ego, manipulation, obsession etc - which can position one as “I know more”, “I am right”, “I’m telling you what you need (not what I need)” - and all these can make a person overly dominating and encroach on someone else’s space and peace of mind, that hinders their growth. I find the book to be heavy on the “I” instead of “We”

When it comes to strengthening emotional anchoring, I find emotional detachment incredibly powerful especially concepts from stoicism and general attachment theories. If you like to explore this further, there’s a really powerful book by Dr Amir Levine called “Attached” identifying if you an anxious, avoidant or secure partner and how to move towards a secured space emotionally. And if you pair that with metta loving kindness, I think it’s a powerful emotional anchoring trait without the ego.

It’s the ability to love and respect someone else and being love and respected back to the fullest, by first loving and respecting yourself. I think once the base is solid, pair that with an intelligent, independent, resilient trait and it makes a woman, a force to be reckon with ❤️
