been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame.
being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

It really only matters that you are radically honest with yourself. It’s actually for your own benefit that you are not radically honest with everyone else.
Being radically honest with yourself means you go deep and deeper until you get to the core in truth of why you are feeling the way that you are feeling. It’s really easy to get stuck in confusion and unsureness if we are keeping things surface level. A lot of the time the things that are true to how I’m feeling I feel silly about, so they are buried a little deeper. I love the feeling of speaking the truth to myself and feeling it all unlock and make sense. Everything becomes clear. It all calms. Now, I can take action in a grounded and thoughtful way. Dare I say, in the most loving way possible for myself and others…

Sit with every version of yourself. Find the lessons you need. The “good” and “bad” work as one! Be okay with those icky feelings and thoughts! They make you…you!

this may be a lifelong project of reorienting and letting go

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
