everythings a lesson

have so much to say about this; for brevity-sake, ill say that every challenge and pleasure you experience is meant to be observed, sometimes examined, to check-in about how you’re evolving in the process of being your best self. success is ambiguous and subjective, it’s whatever it means to you, but for me it’s to be fully myself, take care and have a nice time. when a shit thing happens or i don’t get my way i’ve come to see it as a blessing and purposeful, and i ask myself what i could possibly learn from it. there’s always a thing to learn, even if it’s mere acceptance. it’s saved my mental life, i tell ya that sometimes you think you’ve ‘passed a test’ but the situation is a ‘pop quiz’ in a different format: how you perform on that assessment is not meant to trick you but to check in on your progress and maybe illuminate areas that still need your attention, something else to learn because the timing and scenario is different. it’s beautiful.

Being of one’s word

I think I’ve always wanted to be a woman of my word. Oftentimes, though, I’d find myself committing to things that I knew I couldn’t handle. I guess I had a sort of optimism (or foolishness) that I could do it all, and, by committing, I could do all the things I set my mind to. Fulfill every empty promise if i could just muster up the grit required. I’ve realized recently, though, that to be of your word means also having the strength to say no. And, perhaps more importantly, the strength to mean it. How strong one must be to be of their word. Not because they always come through for people when they said they would but because they had the foresight and humility to be honest when their plate was too full or when their best wouldn’t make the cut. Being of your word is standing firm in your no’s as well as your yes’s. I’m young, though. I’m certain I’ll make countless promises I cannot keep. I’ll fall silent when I should speak up for myself. But I’m learning, and I’m hopeful I’ll keep doing that.

MAYBE YOU’RE THE TORTOISE NOT THE HARE

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

DANCING YOURSELF CLEAN

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
