Whether it’s a song, a book, a smell, a meal, a walk, a time to wake up, a view, i just find it so exciting and beautiful to have something new come into, or sometimes re-enter, my life that I can tell is going to shift everything just a little bit.
i love the feeling of new beginnings... the almost unlimited nature of them... no judgment just exploration... potential of discovery... oh yea that's my jam.. i wish i could approach everything in life like this..
Aromatic tea brewing in the morning; dropping freshly cut tomatoes in your eggs; that new lavender shampoo in your hair; good music in your ear. It's the little things that make day-to-day living more enjoyable.
The controllable variables must be. So many aspects of our existence are held hostage by the fists of fate. But I'll be damned if I can't romanticize my life by sprinkling some joy in it. If it's a Françoise Hardy song here or a new playlist there, you must bring excitement into your life.
the idea that there is something better, something new just around the corner is exactly what leaves us in a cycle of dissatisfaction and always wanting more than what we currently have. if you have a body that moves and breathes and a heart that loves deeply you don't need a change in routine, you just need to give your life your devoted attention. there's magic hidden in ordinary moments if you're really there to see it. the more you pay attention the more there is to see!
I often don’t want to tell people about ‘new’ things I’m doing because I am fearful that I’ll fail, or I won’t follow through, and that I won’t meet my own or others expectations.
But I hate living with that fear or that guilt. it isn’t productive, and it means I don’t get to share the new things that are bringing me joy, so I’ve started telling people about the new stuff I’m doing, because I’d rather people know that I’m taking the leap and that I sometimes fail, than hide that from everyone, including myself.

Absolute back row nosebleed. The Fame was the first CD I ever owned, I got given it for my birthday in 2008 and played it so much it completely wore out. Gaga gave me a lot of my firsts, and helped me to come to terms with my queerness in a surprisingly healthy way for someone who grew up in the 2000s.
