On this journey of striving and building for more meaning in life- I often have to remind myself of what I already have: breathe in my lungs, the opportunity of another day, employment with 2 employers in a grueling job market when not too long ago I struggled to have 1, a positive mindset and outlook on life as it pertains to the past, future, and the present (which I had to work at since that did not always come natural to me) and a seriousness with my goals and dreams that has stretched me into a more determined, goal-driven human being with good morals and values.
The heaviness I feel sometimes for not being exactly where I’d like to be (really financially or artistically) and the feelings of inadequacy aren’t my truth. How could I let my everchanging emotions make me feel poorly about a life I know I am intentionally building? It gets so easy to blur the lines of your truth when you are surrounded by people who do not believe in your vision, or in you and your capabilities, but most of all: don’t see you. And instead of being encouraged or pushed to believe in yourself- you experience the opposite and are made to second guess yourself or feel small.. A huge part of the reason I made this blog is to continue having a strong sense of self, and feel as though I am healing and growing out loud. It is a testament to my being my own best friend.
Reminder: there is an entire world full of people who could support, care, and show people (and me) love just as I have for strangers/ others on the internet time and time again. I yearn for the days I can be fully removed from people who are not like-minded, or unkind to my spirit and to be fully aligned with my purpose. I recently watched a podcast where the speaker said to always speak out loud the desires for your life. Mines are.. I want to be rich. I want to be successful. I want to be self-actualized. I want to encourage anyone reading this to be vocal with yourself about your desires and to be very secure in yourself because this world may someday make you feel that your dreams are not within reach and that is by far farthest from the truth.
Love,
a girl who believes in herself and you ♡
