To the woman I’ll be this year, may she be happy, healed, and whole. May she glow and grow into her highest self. 🥂

Can we normalize tumblr and pinterest being our only social media?

Start actually believing you’re deserving. Move like it. Watch what happens.

actually tumblr should pay ME for sticking around this long

Universe, please keep me soft, but hard to fool. Surround me with energy that pours back into me. Expose what’s not real. Elevate what is. And when I forget who I am, bring me home.

do things you “grew out of”. jump in puddles, bake cookies with your mom, build something from legos, have a disney movie marathon, draw without any final product in mind, read a cringe-worthy YA novel, finger paint, sword fight and cast spells with sticks, chase after fireflies and butterflies, write dramatic diary entries, build pillow forts, sample multiple flavors of ice cream on the little spoons, roll down hills on sunny days, go sledding when there’s snow, never stop dreaming big.

seeing yourself outgrow the old u is a blessing

It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary. 

What’s your fantasy?

I wake up, my debt is all paid off, my bank account is full, my relationships with my family are healthy, and I’m able to travel anywhere in the world.
