Pressure is supposed to make diamonds, but my brain just feels like a bag of rocks.. Heavy, cold, and sharp-tongued- Filled with regret and existential thoughts. But my children remind me On the hardest of days, That no matter which thoughts I have to push away- it is for THEM that I keep going, And remind myself to STAY. x J.R.

"Forget normal and ordinary, show me the way to the weirdos, the unique and bold people. The ones that show up and are always original and authentic. Those are my people, the ones I always end up calling my friends. The strange and unusual personalities that make themselves heard and show us how to be unapologetically ourselves. By shining brightly, they’re the people who help us understand that it’s more than okay to be ourselves, it’s necessary. Necessary for us to find out who we are, to appreciate the parts of ourselves that we once struggled with. Those people may make things awkward, uncomfortable and a tad uneasy, but that’s just who they are. You know who we are- maybe you’re one of them- the square peg the world tries to fit into the round hole, the bold, weird and often one of a kind spirits that you can’t tame. Truth is, you wouldn’t want to, even if you could. We’re the ones that will say what others won’t, voice the unspoken truths and always keeping it real.. Why? Maybe it’s because we don’t conform, fit into labels and people don’t know what to make of us.. And that’s the way I like it. Maybe I’m not everyone’s favorite flavor, and that’s fine by me. I march to my own beat and don’t just exist, get by or manage.. Forget the boring, drab and ordinary. Those of us who embrace our magic and individuality give the rest the chance to shine brightly, too. That bravery is the light that leads the way for the others who are trying to find their way, rediscover themselves or just be happy. Maybe the weird ones make things uncomfortable and strange, but they help us understand it’s okay for all of us to be our authentic selves. What the world calls weird, I call my friends. And we all need more people like that. Maybe you should all try a little more of that, too- Be yourself, be happy and most of all, be free.. To embrace the parts of you that you’ve hidden for far too long. Today’s a new day. Start writing a new chapter... The one where you finally show the world what it’s been missing."

Everyone is on their own path and I am definitely no one to judge. We all have shit that we carry around or things that we are working on. The best advice I've gotten, is the simplest, yet most profound thing I've heard. Learn to slow down, tune into yourself and your surroundings. Soak in the seconds and minutes of every day while you have them, and DO THE INNER WORK.🌟 Take time away if it's needed, time with friends if that's needed, a weekend out drinking, or a weekend in meditating. This spiritual journey isn't about being or ever reaching perfection. There is no "right way" to get through this journey, so the thing is to do what's best for YOU, and doing things to help better you each day. 🙏💙 Live morally, act respectfully, and enjoy the ride. 💋
