Joined a mentorship program through my zen center and 🥲 cant rec enough 🥲 my mentor is amazing lady who used to do professional astrology reading but now runs the center and spends her free time doing habitat restoration and curling (?? so hardcore wtf). She sits by me during zazen and gives me a big hug every time i come in 😭
I convinced my fav professor from
undergrad to be my mentor despite many objections from her about “I don’t mentor students blah blah blah” and now 5ish years later it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Now I just get to hang out with someone I adore and admire on the regular and it just makes my heart soar every time we catch up. What a treat!
getting to learn from someone with a lot of wisdom and experience in your field feels so so special <333 feels primal somehow, too - i think it activates the part of my brain that evolved to absorb oral histories
I.e. someone who will “fix” me or “save” me not in a sexual nor clinical sense but more so just a sage person who will help me achieve my full potential. Kind of like my sponsor but she’s a tad younger than what I’m envisioning here. Think Good Will Hunting
This was going to be an anti-rec about not making out to Beach House with someone you’ve only known three weeks bc you’ll think of them every time you hear Beach House but then I realized that actually life is too short to not make out to Beach House
