    What you crave isn't attention.
    -It's the connection that builds over time
    -the intimacy of being seen and committed to
    Learn the difference between consistent connection and scraps that will momentarily fill you.

    This was comforting.
    What I truly desire
    1. I desire a long living connection with anyone I meet
    2. I desire finding out who I am and how I am special and what is my purpose
    3. I desire freedom, the freedom to travel, the freedom to express myself, the freedom to not worry about opinions or money. I desire the freedom to live and explore the earth
    4. I desire to be seen by people and loved, I desire attention and vulnerability

    From the very start I remember something I was taught through Islam that God (ALLAH) does not want us to be tired, and this has to do with provision (Glory Be to God), I.e having piety makes you attract it all.

  • @yancheess
    @yancheess Před měsícem

    Thank you so much.
    I needed to hear this now. I was really looking for attention and was getting it from a lot of people. But I didn't understand why I wasn't getting better. It's because they were interactions that filled me up for a moment and I didn't feel good afterward. Now I think about who I really want to be close to, open up and be vulnerable with, it's really few people.
    The three things I really desire are to be loved, to build true intimacy and connection with people I want to be friends with, to have inner confidence and a sense of self-worth.

  • @tessklein
    @tessklein Před 8 měsíci +4

    first, thank you for being so vulnerable and real. my three things I truly desire are safety, intimacy, and confidence from within. three things I can do to remind myself of my worth are taking care of my body by eating healthy foods and exercising, spending time with people I love, and sharing my art. I really appreciated the way you described attention seeking behaviors and what they can look like because the whole time you were talking I was like nope that’s not me I don’t do that and then you started giving examples of your behavior with the person from your past and I was like oooooo ok yep I do that lol. thank you for your words and your wisdom 🩷

    You are the first person in a good while who I truly felt your encouraging words and analogies came from a reverence of God and not "the universe." I love your analogy of the roots needing to be there, causing the fruit to grow, not just the fruit itself. For that, I'm subbed. You remind me of one of my cousins too! Thank you 😊

  • @beanasebastiao
    @beanasebastiao Před 8 měsíci

    Amen! I’ve been vulnerable with people who’ve used my weaknesses against me.. It’s important to learn about others FIRST before sharing your personal struggles with life. Regardless if that person themselves is willing to be vulnerable with you or not. I think the space I’m in right now forces me to not open up with people (I live in a small conservative city in Texas) I think once I graduate from college and move to a better city with values that I believe in (Houston). I think only then will I be more free and happier than I am now..

    Thank you for this video and demonstrating such a pure form of vulnerability Abi. May God continue to bless, protect and encourage you, in Jesus’ mighty name. Three things I desire in life are: 1. Deeply rooted peace accompanied by joy
    2. Deeply rooted gratitude intertwined with grace and understanding
    3. Deeply rooted relationships solidified in love, faithfulness, and humility

    00:00 🤔 The speaker expresses dissatisfaction with giving attention to things that don't fill or pour into them, emphasizing the transient nature of attention.
    00:28 🌱 True fulfillment comes from connection and intimacy developed over time, not just momentary attention.
    01:47 📱 Reflects on the desire for attention but realizes it doesn't fulfill the deeper need for connection and intimacy.
    03:35 🛡 Engaging in meaningful activities (like Skillshare classes) is more fulfilling than shallow distractions for attention.
    05:02 💼 The importance of building relationships with roots instead of settling for attention "fruits."
    06:13 🏞 Environment matters; being in a space where one is valued is crucial for recognizing self-worth.
    08:38 🔄 Reminding oneself of intrinsic value is crucial, even if others don't recognize it; switching environments may be necessary.
    10:05 🤝 Vulnerability and openness lead to real connection; attention alone is like fast food, momentarily satisfying but lacking substance.
    11:00 🍔 Reflects on the analogy of settling for attention being like settling for fast food, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness.
    13:31 📝 Encourages viewers to explore their true desires, be honest with themselves, and implement practices to remind them of their worth.

    Jesus Christ is a prophet of God whom we love and honor just as much as we do all the prophets, he is not God
    God is one, and has so much mercy and protection that's offered to us every day, and as we follow his path for us and seek his guidance, we become in true alliance with ourselves, our journeys and our fullest potential.
