Allow yourself to leave the norm of a typical way to creation. An altered state of awareness can lead to a better way of thinking. Not only can we strike a chord with a similar crowd of consumption, that unique path to achievement can lead to a deeper truth we’re seeking. • • • • • “Frame & Canvas” Whether purposeful or on accident, the influence still stands: Leave routine, reassess, redeem, resonate, and replant. • • • • #ScottAmpersand ETSY SHOP: ScottAmpersand
Looks like one just finished the chapter on sleep habits, and the other is practicing the chapter on privacy and personal space. 😴🤐 . 📙#GrowingUpGreat Amazon preorder link in bio.

An overwhelming winner! 👏 The question this week was which topic most deserves a sneak peek from my book? You voted: "MORE THAN FRIENDS." 🥰🥰 . Here is an excerpt from "Growing Up Great!" regarding dating and crush interests for teens and pre-teens. . 🎨 @anjansarkar . “Depending on your current age, you might be interested in relationships with other people that develop into more than just a friendship. Some might never develop an attraction or a deep connection to another person, while others might try dating when the time feels right. Even though some pieces of attraction might occur without much thought, ultimately this is another choice in life that is all yours. You have the final say in what, and who, you are or are not interested in for a relationship. You should never feel pressured to enter a relationship that you don’t want. If that’s the case, have the self-respect to set up boundaries and consent. Consent is the permission for something to happen. In a relationship, consent involves both individuals agreeing upon the same thing. Consent is the basis for anything physical and emotional that might develop between you and another person. For crush interests, being brave and putting yourself ‘out there’ to a person you like can end great... or it can end in rejection. It takes guts to communicate attraction to someone, but you should know going into it that your feelings might not be reciprocated. One way to handle this is to wait for the relationship to develop naturally. In the meantime, you can learn more about that person and their own feelings for you. Holding on to a crush can also be difficult, though, so you might choose to let them know instead. It might change the friendship, or it might not. You might date and stay together, or you might not. That’s how these things work. Each attraction is unique. You can always just recommend hanging out together. If you truly like them, that’s what you want anyway—more time in activities you both enjoy. Whether or not you express your interest, if your feelings are honest and true, you’ll know the right decision when the time comes." . 📙#GrowingUpGreat Amazon preorder link in bio.
