please, DNI: racists, misogynists, zionists, queerphobics, eating disorder and nsfw blogs!

Honestly, I haven't had much energy for new ideas lately, so this will be a challenge until June 1, and I hope that I will motivate you with my progress!! (daily posts included)

After a long pause due to burnout, I'm finally returning to this space. Stepping back was necessary for my well-being, and it allowed me to recharge and find fresh inspiration.

A huge thank you to every single person who stayed. Your patience, support, and quiet understanding during this absence means the world to me. You kept the community alive with your presence.

‘Romanticize the season, romanticize yourself.’

Wouldn't it be great if making friends as an adult was as easy as when we were children? "I like your light-up shoes, let's be friends." While making friends as a teen/adult might seem impossible, it's not impossible. Here are a few tips to make new friends and strengthen relationships.

• Remember that you are in a very low-stakes situation: The #1 thing I hear from my friends who have asked me for advice about meeting people is that they're afraid to talk to strangers.It makes sense why humans would be anxious to talk to new people - in ancient times, incorrectly identifying another being as a friend could result in you being attacked or even killed. But our brains don't understand that the world has progressed - so you still feel that same fight or flight instinct when talking to someone new.

• The antidote to this anxiety is logic and perspective. Before you proceed, remember that you are in a very low-stakes situation. No one is going to hurt you because you told them you liked their bag. At the absolute worst case scenario, they might say "okayyyy" and look at you like you're weird. But that doesn't matter!It's so liberating to know that no one person's opinion is actually that important.

• Go outside + yap a little: The key to making new friends is a simple equation - being outside and not being afraid to show your personality and that you're open to meeting new people.

• First, find an excuse to go outside. If you're in college, look up clubs and choose one to go to.If you aren't look up volunteer opportunities near you or go to a bar, bookstore, or cafe. You need to go outside to meet people in your local community - apps like Bumble BFF are nice in theory but have the same problems as dating apps - they're too disposable.

Why an Alter Ego?

Adopting an alter ego offers you a creative pathway for personal growth, allowing you to explore and embody qualities you admire but have not yet dared to live out, effectively overcoming fears and expanding your sense of self. it serves as both a mental strategy for confronting your personal limitations and a practical tool for enhancing resilience, fostering a deeper connection with your potential, and encouraging the realization of an empowered identity.

Discovering Your Alter Ego

Reflect on Your Aspirations: Begin by deeply contemplating the qualities you find admirable in others-those traits you see and think, "I wish that were me." Ask yourself which of these qualities, if adopted, could significantly propel you toward your goals. Imagine the kind of person you would become if you embodied these traits.

Identify Your Challenges: Consider the obstacles that often stand in your way.An alter ego can be designed to navigate these with ease and confidence.

Crafting Her Identity

Name Her: Choose a name that resonates with the energy and essence of this new persona.

Define Her Traits: Is she bold? Creative? Unapologetically ambitious? Outline the characteristics that define her.

Visualize Her Style: How does she dress? How does she carry herself?Visualizing her can help solidify her presence in your mind.

Bringing Her to Life

Choose Her Moments: Identify specific situations where invoking your alter ego could be beneficial. Start small if it feels overwhelming

Act 'As If': Step into her shoes in these moments. Act 'as if you already possess her confidence and capabilities.

Reflect on Your Experiences: Afterward, take time to journal about the experience.What did you learn? How did it feel to see the world through her eyes?

Integrating Her Qualities into Your Life

Gradual Integration: The aim is not to constantly embody your alter ego, but to seamlessly incorporate its strengths into your daily life. It's about slowly blending the qualities of your alter ego with your own, enhancing your personality and capabilities over time.

Celebrate Growth: Recognize and celebrate each instance when you exhibit qualities of your alter ego. These moments mark significant progress in your journey, showing you're moving beyond your comfort zone and embracing personal development.
