It's about going back

i find that it's about knowing yourself and who you've always been, then taking that into the world, having new experiences and doing things, and eventually finding little bits of yourself out there in the world. it's easy to forget but hold onto what you love and you'll keep yourself, and if you keep yourself you'll know without question.

Self Rediscovery is a gift

Went through a period like this recently, it helps to think of it as an opportunity to learn about yourself and discover new things that you enjoy. I think part of this is recognition that maybe you’ve grown and you no longer get the same enjoyment out of things that you used to really like. That’s ok! take some time to try new activities or hobbies. Pick up new ones and drop old ones as much as needed. As you try new things, try and reflect on what you like about them or whether it’s giving you what you hope to get out of it. As you’re trying these new things, go back to the old and see if it sparks joy like it once did. Try to approach it from the perspective of learning more about yourself rather than trying to fit yourself into a mold that you may have outgrown.

Open an art gallery

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

Believe that someone is thinking about you when you think about them

I got an IG follow and message last night from a girl I knew in MIDDLE school (12+ yrs ago). I haven’t talked to or seen her since then, but she’d often pop up in my mind, the last time being just a few days ago. All I remember is that I used to enjoy talking to her. the first thing she said in her message was that for some reason, she’d think about me often, and also, for no particular reason… we barely knew each other back then So, we decided we’re gonna hang out soon - don’t know why, but it just feels right. 🔮
