Oftentimes, I'll overly curate myself based on what I think is or isn't acceptable to those around me because I'm scared of being judged by them. I feel like I have a full and vibrant life, but people only skim the surface of it because I'm scared of letting them in. There's so much joy in being accepted and sharing in each other's joys and sadnesses, and I want more of that in my life in the coming year.

i feel like so many people are so insecure or afraid of what others think of them that they’re afraid to be genuine. it’s easier to be nonchalant because then no one can really judge who you ARE. but like. what’s the point of cultivating relationships if they’re only wanting to spend time with your self crafted persona. if we’re true to ourselves the right people will be attracted to that light :)

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

Looping the same song for hours can become a religious experience, like being immersed in a Gregorian chant in an old cathedral. You pick up little instrumental flairs that you would have missed otherwise, and the lyrics become second nature. You appreciate the song the more you hear it, and beat drops and vocals become more satisfying in your expectation of them. You get into a natural groove.

makes me feel like i'm sitting legs crossed at the kitchen table in the morning with a crinkly newspaper in hand, reading the latest calvin and hobbes as i casually sip my coffee, right before i go to the job that i got by looking someone straight in the eye and (firmly) shaking their hand
