😳✋🏻hear me out🤚🏻😳 sometimes our dreams are no longer a source of motivation or inspiration and sometimes we cling so hard to them that we cause ourselves a lot of mental anguish and disappointment. We attach our identity to things like getting our dream job and when we don’t get the job our sense of self collapses.
Lately I‘ve been thinking a lot about the Jenny Holzer phrase, “Protect me from what I want,” and how it can be so freeing to let desire drop away to remember the things you already have. Such as innate worthiness as a human being regardless of the dream you couldn’t obtain 🫶🏻

sometimes an impending sense of doom fills my core when i get yelled at by customers at work. not because their unplaced anger hurts my feelings, but because of the absurdity of the job i’m currently doing.
like if i stopped trying, i could just get stuck doing this for the rest of my life. i know i won't do that, but it's still a very jarring notion and it forces me to remind myself that though this job is necessary right now, it’s ultimately temporary. i'm working hard to make my dreams come true and this is just a step in that journey.
almost nothing is permanent. this too shall pass :)

inspired by a convo I had today + Sabrina Carpenter’s speech at a variety event last year (?)
I hope this reminder finds anyone who needs it because I know I needed to hear it today (yes I was tweaking out ok) — I know this sounds awfully annoying when you’re in the midst of it all but I hope we find it in ourselves to genuinely fall in love with the process, whatever that means for us as individuals — whether that’s with a craft, goal, or vision etc etc.
for me personally i am learning to appreciate the version of myself rn. to expand, the version who is still trying to figure out how showing up authentically looks like for me, feeling v awkward while doing so, but also trying to remember that i will never have her again. i saw this quote also the other day and it really moved me

This was going to be an anti-rec about not making out to Beach House with someone you’ve only known three weeks bc you’ll think of them every time you hear Beach House but then I realized that actually life is too short to not make out to Beach House
