How should I navigate talking with my godchild if they need help or support?
You should approach the conversation with openness and empathy. Don't start your questions with "why" as it could make them feel defensive, like they need to justify themselves. Try questions like, “What’s been going on?” or “How are you feeling about this?” Doing this allows them to share openly without feeling judged. You can also ask directly how they’d like to be supported. Make sure they feel heard and understood, and reassure them that you’re not there to judge and only to listen and offer your support.
How can I accept myself as a punk?
Explore and challenge the things that you think are holding you back from fully embracing this part of yourself. Ask yourself what makes you hesitate. Maybe you have a thought that people won't take you seriously because of your love for punk? These beliefs often come from outside pressure rather than your true self. Break free from this by recognizing that your love for punk music and culture is simply a part of who you are and that it doesn’t need to be explained or justified. As you accept this part of yourself, you may also find that people who connect with the real you are drawn to your authenticity.
How do I accept myself as a hippie?
Accepting who you are starts with you connecting to your core values and letting those beliefs guide you. Acknowledging your imperfections is a huge part of this journey. Knowing that you’re real, relatable, human, and that you don't have to live by others' expectations or feel the need to hide some aspects of yourself to fit in. Being both mentally strong and emotionally open is also important. When you allow yourself to feel, express, and be vulnerable, you’re not showing weakness; you’re showing courage. Vulnerability is strength, and it takes genuine confidence to be emotionally aware, to understand what’s going on inside, and to let go of what doesn’t serve you.
