i recently discovered the japanese concept of ikigai. it basically means “a reason for being” or “a reason to live.” it’s about finding a balance between what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you are good at. i think it’s important that we all find our ikigai ♡
the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts. they were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in the poetry, lyric songs, and myths that were related orally for centuries in these ancient cultures.
