If you’re a Montessori teacher, trying to live by Maria’s teachings, who actually believe that children are the hope of the world and it’s our job to help them thrive, well… message me :)

If you’re not a Montessori teacher but this post resonates with you, it works too.

You don't have to have kids to love them. I hope to become a mother someday but whatever shall happen will happen. What I want first and foremost is a loving, meaningful and supportive relationship.

So why am I aiming for a Montessori teacher?I get frustrated in all areas of my life because I can’t find people who actually live according to their values. Most of them simply because they never really thought about their values, others because they think you have to be a saint to actually walk the talk, so they stopped trying.

I happen to have thought quite a lot about what matters to me, and I’ve learned to prioritize and be mindful about things that hinder me in trying to grow in that direction.I have a hard time doing it, and I fail in the smallest things, but at least I’m trying.I firmly believe that you need a relationship to grow. I know I need someone to lovingly call me on my BS and hold me accountable, helping me stay in the direction I’m going when I stumble.

Everybody loves Montessori, but not a lot of people understand the depth of her teachings and the implications it has on your life when you’re really trying to live according to them.

Same goes with Jesus actually. Many people love the idea of him, like atheists who tell me he was probably a super cool guy and a great teacher, or muslims who tell me he’s a great prophet, but none of them have actually really pondered the teachings and tried to apply them in their life.If they had they would be christians or they wouldn’t think Jesus is such a cool guy and a great prophet anymore. Once you know Jesus, you love him or hate him, but there’s no middle ground anymore (« Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. »)

I've been deeply disappointed coming back to the church after finding my faith again. Everybody loves the golden rule « Do unto others as you would have them do unto you » but very few live by it, because it’s pretty darn hard.Again, I’m not saying I’m acing it, far from it. Trying is all I’m doing, and all I’m asking for.

So yeah, if kindness, forgiveness and generosity are a big deal to you, and you don’t live pretending they’re easy things to do, let’s talk :)

( I’m looking for someone to live life with, but I’m also looking for someone to start a Montessori project with, and for that a friend would be enough so here is my post on r/Montessori .. just putting it out there :)
