“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”

— Barack Obama

“If you saw her in these moments, you might think she was collecting her thoughts in order to go forward. But I see it another way: Her mind is being overwhelmed by two processes that must simultaneously proceed at full steam. One is to deal with and live in the present world. The other is to re-experience and mourn something that happened long ago.”

— Steve Martin, The Pleasure of My Company

ever hear songs on the radio and feel like that song was picked to play just for you? yep...that's the inside of my brain...I gotta reality check myself a lot throughout my day. Ha 😆

Happiness is the cherry on top 🖤

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

She's not the same anymore. She didn't like where she was, and she wanted better for herself. So, she got clear on who she wanted to be and created a plan-a plan that grounded her dreams into reality. Then, she got to work. She worked on the way she spoke to herself, the way she thought, and the way she moved. She learned to recognize which thoughts aligned with her past self and which aligned who she was becoming. She was no longer willing to entertain the limitations that had been imposed on her. She wanted more for herself and she believed that more was available. She led herself in a way that aligned with where she was going, not in a way that kept her where she had been. She broke the cycle because she committed to herself. And she finally learned that doing the work is loving yourself in the ways that you needed to be loved.

“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won’t do harm - yes, choose a place where you won’t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”

— E.M. Forster

reminder to self

I have stumbled—

spoken when I should have listened,

held on when I should have let go.

I am not perfect. I never was.

But I am learning

to see my flaws without hiding,

to face my mistakes without running,

to be softer, stronger, more whole.

Change is slow, but I am moving.

in my mind your memory creeps,

and in my heart a heavy beat,

do I call after all this silence?

and what would I say or would we talk about after this time? am I still your muse in the paintings you create?

it's selfish to think this way.

I miss you friend, maybe in another lifetime we could talk regularly but I want you to know I miss you anyway..just a thought. I wish you and your family well. 🖤

it's always quieter in my mind when I've eaten

the madness gets so much quieter when I take care of myself.

“What’s the worst thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.”

— Unknown
