i love the sentiment (if we direct it to the right place)

i adore the idea of love building up to one big day of loving and appreciation. i too am against the hyper-consumerist event it’s become, but i try my best to reclaim it every year. i’ve never really had a true romantic valentine (it’s fine! i don’t mean that in a sympathy-fishing way) so i never felt a longing for someone else on valentine’s day. i use it as an excuse to wear a cute pink outfit and remind my friends that i appreciate them and they’re all my valentines. the world is my oyster of love. but, on the romantic end, i really like when i see couples put effort towards homemade gifts for each other or special valentines surprises that exist outside of the consumerist conventions that we tend to default to. i think we should all take efforts to move towards a ethical-thanksgiving-style type of day, focusing on the celebration of being grateful for all sorts of love that may have found you. romantic or platonic.

A think piece on why we need to stop asking “what do you do for work?”

“self-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievement” … “Focusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they do” what are your thoughts? i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well. most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebody’s job can provide a lot of insight into a person’s interests and general character - i think it’s fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity. i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently.. i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

just asking for the shit you want

been doing this more in my everyday life. respectfully ofc. some things i’ve received/am receiving recently from simply asking for it 🤭: - free cocktail! - free ride (i don’t drive) - awesome music reccs - pretty styling pieces for a potential future shoot :) - the beginnings of a fun and crafty project - beautiful bloomers - new friends to hang with grateful for the people who are so giving. makes me want to pay the deed forward. and i do.

letting go

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)
