Life is hard. People don't give you credit for what you have gone through or going through. The worst is those closest to you are completely immune to how great you really, really are. How special. How clever. How resilient. You totally rock. But you don't know it because no one around tells you that. STOP waiting for anyone to tell you that you are doing a good job. Even if it's just surviving. TELL IT TO YOURSELF. Keep doing it until you are convinced. Brene Brown says if you look for evidence that you don't belong, and that you are not enough, you will always find it. Why not look for evidence that you do belong, and you are smart, and all the times you have cheated death, you have made it through the day. Well done YOU.

inspired by a convo I had today + Sabrina Carpenter’s speech at a variety event last year (?)
I hope this reminder finds anyone who needs it because I know I needed to hear it today (yes I was tweaking out ok) — I know this sounds awfully annoying when you’re in the midst of it all but I hope we find it in ourselves to genuinely fall in love with the process, whatever that means for us as individuals — whether that’s with a craft, goal, or vision etc etc.
for me personally i am learning to appreciate the version of myself rn. to expand, the version who is still trying to figure out how showing up authentically looks like for me, feeling v awkward while doing so, but also trying to remember that i will never have her again. i saw this quote also the other day and it really moved me

For all those out there who equate being useful with being valuable - this phrase can change your life. Remind yourself every day.
You can be gentle and compassionate and assertive and confident. These things are not mutually exclusive.
At the end of all this… what do you really want?

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
