I was asked to show something I created that I was proud of and I stopped to think about the last time I felt proud. It had been a while. I’ve been pretty hard on myself lately and for a minute I forgot. Here’s something I’m proud of :) My eye shadow skills deserve an honourable mention while we are at it.
Understanding that some small and unpleasant adjustments now will yield satisfying and enriching benefits for years to come.
Dreaming about a driveway with jacaranda and palm trees,a garden with herbs, botanicals and indigenous flowers that attract birds & bees. And of course a very dramatic centerpiece.
Thanking my ancestors and the heavens for the things that didn’t work out according to my shortsighted and misguided plan. Someone is truly watching out for me somewhere and i’m grateful. Wagwan my G :)
Making space away from places that stunt my growth as an act of self love. Plants grow towards the light, animals migrate to favorable living conditions and a girl is moving to a new city.
Feeling a general sense of uncertainty and seeking clarity from all the murkiness but yet, and to a great extent, learning to live with the questions while practicing a patience with all that remains unresolved.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Putting my foot down, flipping it and reversing.
Handing in my resignation from bad bitch org. While I will continue to sit on the board, I will no longer be involved in the day to day operations.
Finding comfort in knowing that there is a song for every emotion. If I feel it, someone has probably sang about it. 10 points to the good people at Spotify. pls hire me, thanks.
Refusing to be told what contradicts to my truth even from people who care about me.
Going big and staying graceful while at it.
“My turn shall also come:
I sense the spreading of a wing.”
― Osip Mandelstam, The Selected Poems
