Sometimes, the stuff we actually feel doesn’t look pretty on paper — or in the therapist’s chair. Jealousy. Petty thoughts. The urge to scroll mindlessly instead of doing the “right” thing. Laziness that makes you feel like a failure.

But all of it is human. And yes, it’s okay to admit it. You don’t have to spin it into a life lesson, a growth moment, or a feel-good Instagram post. Sometimes honesty is enough.

"I know it sounds awful, but sometimes I get jealous, or annoyed, or secretly hope someone stumbles a little — and then I hate myself for even thinking it."

Petty feelings have a bad reputation. We’re taught they’re “immature,” “toxic,” or proof that we haven’t done enough inner work. But the truth is, everyone has them. You might notice they usually show up when we’re tired, overextended, or carrying old hurts.

Petty thoughts are inevitable. They’re not a sign you’re cruel, unkind, or failing at growth — they’re just flashes of being human. Most of the time, they pass as quickly as they arrive.

You don’t have to dissect them, justify them, or turn them into a moral lesson. Not every passing thought reflects your character. Sometimes it’s just static in the background of a tired brain.

Having the thought doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you a person, period.

This Week: Permission to Be Petty

We like to imagine ourselves as evolved, gracious, endlessly patient humans. But then the real world happens. Someone gets the praise you wanted. A friend cancels. A stranger cuts in line. Suddenly, you’re annoyed, jealous, or wishing karma would move a little faster.

So this week, give yourself permission to notice the small, unpretty feelings without rushing to sanitize them. Instead of scolding yourself — “I shouldn’t be this jealous” — say, “Yep, that’s what’s here.” No explanation, no moral spin.

When you let yourself acknowledge pettiness without shame, it loses its grip. What feels like a messy flaw becomes what it actually is: just another passing wave in the wide ocean of your emotional life..

Above and within, a gentle rhythm

The Waning Crescent at just 5% is an energy dip — you might feel a little more inward, a little less “on.” That’s not a flaw, it’s the Moon inviting you to wind down before the next cycle.

With Venus cozying up to Mercury in Cancer, feelings have a way of sneaking into conversations. That doesn’t mean you need to swallow them down. It just means you have an opening to choose how to voice them — or whether to simply notice them and let them pass.

A good day to notice the little storms inside, and then decide which ones are worth speaking into existence. Let your thoughts be messy, but let your choices be intentional.

Nicknamed the Tempest Stone, Pietersite looks like a storm trapped in crystal — swirling flashes of gold, blue, and brown that seem to move when the light shifts. First discovered in 1964 by Sid Pieters in Namibia (and named for his father), Pietersite is incredibly rare, with only two known localities in the world.

Energetically, Pietersite is a wake-up call. It stirs the Solar Plexus and Third Eye chakras at once, linking your willpower with your vision. The result? A feeling that the path forward — whatever dream you’ve been circling — suddenly becomes clearer. Many people describe it as a stone that reignites drive when you’ve felt stagnant, restless, or uncertain.

Pietersite helps cut through mental noise, aligning personal desire with higher perspective. It’s the stone of inner storms that clear the air, leaving behind clarity, focus, and courage to take the next step.

Reach for this stone when:

Meditate with Pietersite over your Third Eye and let the “tempest” imagery guide you. It won’t hand you easy answers — but it can spark the inner fire that makes your next chapter feel possible.

3-8 minutes to untangle tension

Quick & Dirty (3 min): Write down the “ugliest” thought you’ve had this week. No censoring. No justifying. Just get it out of your head and onto paper.

Go Deeper (5-8 min): Reframe it. Instead of turning the spotlight on the other person, gently pivot it back to your own want. Almost like saying: “That thought just showed me what I actually desire.”

For example:

Let it land, let it go, trust it’ll return when it matters.

Notice the dozens of tiny things that quietly didn’t go wrong today.

The coffee machine worked. Your phone turned on. The elevator showed up. Someone answered your text.

It’s so easy to fixate on the one thing that threw you off — but underneath it, life handed you a whole stack of small, steady wins.

Be grateful for yourself today — for the part of you that knows the difference between a passing ugly thought and who you actually are. Notice how quickly your compass tilts back toward kindness, even when you get pulled into pettiness for a moment. 

That flicker of awareness is proof that you’re paying attention, that you care, that you don’t let the thought steer the whole ship. Gratitude isn’t just about sunsets and coffee cups — it’s also about the quiet strength it takes to self-correct, again and again.

What’s a “good habit” you secretly hate doing?

We all have them. The ones we tell ourselves we should love because they’re “productive” or “healthy.” But sometimes they feel like chores, like nagging little obligations, or like invisible strings tugging at our energy.

Maybe it’s drinking enough water, journaling, doing morning stretches, meditating, or replying to emails on time. Maybe it’s flossing, or taking vitamins, or exercising when your body just wants to flop on the couch.

We do them anyway — or at least we try — because we’ve bought into the idea that skipping them makes us lazy, irresponsible, or failing.

So, spill it: what’s the “good habit” you do because you know you should, but actually secretly resent? And bonus points if you admit why you hate it too. Hating them doesn’t make you lazy or broken. It might just mean that that habit isn’t serving you in the way you thought.

Instead of forcing it, notice what the habit is trying to give you — focus, calm, movement, connection — and find a version that actually works for your life. Maybe that means doing it differently, less often, or swapping it for something that hits the same need without the resentment.

Even when you’re shining in your own way, it’s human to glance sideways and feel a twinge of envy, a spark of comparison, or a whisper of “why not me?” 

Notice the feeling without judgment. Name it. Let it pass like clouds across your sky. Your glow doesn’t dim just because someone else is dazzling. And sometimes, recognizing the green-eyed flicker can even show you what you truly want for yourself.

Go gentle on yourself today. You’re allowed to feel these “unpretty” emotions — and still be luminous, still be whole, still be the moon.

P.S. We made this because most spiritual content made us feel like there was something wrong with us for being tired, messy, or not “high-vibe” enough. If this made you feel a little more human today, that's all we wanted.
