As New Year’s Eve 2021 approaches I find myself remembering this post and wondering…

Just checked, apparently you only unlock the shiny skin once you reach level 3 in chancellorship, cause Merkel was also looking rather boring at her first two new year’s addresses.

Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.

There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.

“You volunteeringly create a war against your self-esteem when you choose to seek validation from anything outside of yourself. Your worth doesn’t depend on the approval of others. Mental freedom will arrive shortly after you develop a deeper understanding of yourself.”

“Reclaim your power. Something in the past made you believe that the weight of life would be easier to carry if you reduced your light and faded away. Remember who you were and Remember who you were excited to grow into.”
