L O V E Y O U R S E L F M O R E

    I like the concept of love and the traditions that it brings but Valentine’s Day has always been about expensive (because it's so expensive!)theatrics and corny romantic gestures. That makes me cringe. Anyone else feel me on that?

 

I guess I feel like you shouldn’t need a specific day to celebrate love and all of its many forms! You should be able to convey this feeling every day of the year and not just today. Nonetheless, Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope it’s everything you need it to be! 

 

On another note, I am ready to hit the ground running with my new project! I am starting courses on Monday to learn and hone my skill! I am really hoping that it’s something that I enjoy doing! I’ve never done anything like this before! That’s mainly because I avoided any sort of spotlight that could have shined down on me at all cost. I am still a little bit iffy on that, but I am working towards being more confident in myself, my abilities and just putting myself out there.

 

 I want to be a successful writer, I want to have multiple skills that I can be proud of, it’s just that getting there has been a hard road. But, who can honestly say that the things that made them a good writer, weren’t things that initially killed them? If you are a person who has never felt pain that deep, I applaud you but I don’t envy you! I am who I am because of the things I’ve gone through. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone else; but I wouldn’t give it away either. 

 

    This is a revelation for me, a HUGE one. I used to WISH it all away, I wanted the, “perfect” life; as if that even exists. I made a post in January, where I said, “As it turns out, we don't always know what we're doing while we're busy making wishes!” and I honestly have never felt something so deeply! I obviously still wish things could be easier sometimes but where there isn’t struggle there isn’t triumph! There has to be struggle in order to grow and I know I’ve said this about 100 times in the last couple of months but damn, It’s TRUE! You’re probably going to hear it 1000 more times because 2021 is my growing year and I couldn’t be more excited to see where it takes me! 

    My last therapy session had homework:

    Write a list of 10-20 things that you've wished for that you wouldn't dream of wishing for right now.

    I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday and don’t forget to swing back by tomorrow, I’ll let everyone know how my first day of classes went! I'll also have my list of wishes! 

 

 

XOXO

 

P.S. Don’t forget to give yourself the love YOU know you deserve today and everyday!
