Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

I‘ve really noticed myself struggling with confidence and making bold decisions. Showing up and taking up space. Zooming out has helped but what REALLY works for me is remembering that death and aging is a reality we will all face. There may or may not be life again after this. What harm would I do in this moment being my authentic self? Acting out on courage? Being bold and changing often? Will I turn 80 and realize how much I missed it all? And beyond the existentialism, how can I hold gratitude in the present moment? When dreading a walk; reminding myself that one day as I’m older a simple walk can become impossible. Even tomorrow, my entire life could change and I lose that simple privilege. (knock on wood). Even when you’re struggling financially/broke; how can you still bet on yourself and chase what you want? I think maybe just going after it no matter what? Idk. I know this is simple but just a reminder!!!
OUR LIVES ARE LEAVING US EVERY DAY. WE MUST ACT NOW & FAST! THERE IS AN URGENCY IN LIVING YOUR LIFE.

somehow as i’ve grown up my disposition has only gotten more optimistic? i believe so wholeheartedly in things getting better. make plans, believe in goodness even when it feels a little delusional, look for the silver lining. i think it keeps you going.

like... seriously. what's the harm in believing that everything will work out? obviously shit happens and there's definitely a chance things won't end up going your way, but what good does believing that serve you? does believing you won't succeed make your life better in any way? just want to think with more intention this year.. being more aware of how my thought patterns seep into my actions and behavior. it's so obvious, but it really is the simplest things that take the most time and effort to really understand..
i'd rather take on my life through a more optimistic lens than constantly expecting the worst, digging myself into a hole of self-pity and misery

When I get off an 8 hour shift after waking up at 4:30 and start rethinking everything I said and feeling like everyone hates me I remember I literally don’t know what I’m talking about and am in no condition to weigh in on such things

This morning I read that some mystics believe in drinking/drugs as a vital part in the debatable union with god and others believe drinking is one step towards communing with god followed by the equally important hangover that annihilates your ego in preparation for receiving god’s message.

Zadie Smith once said you don’t have to live in New York/Brooklyn for the loft lifestyle, that there’s plenty of small cities throughout the country like in North Carolina, and being from North Carolina I was a little like girl what but I spent the night in Durham for a concert and it was actually cool as hell and everyone was super nice and there were cool bagels (seaweed everything!). Sorry North Carolina! You’re not perfect but you’re not irredeemable either!
