All I can say is that I know how it feels when you most definitely have not found it: hollow and always wanting for more, looking down the barrel of the rest of your life and wondering if this is what it's always going to be like. I’ve only begun recently within the past year or so to examine all of the ways in which I’ve betrayed my authentic self and the ways I’ve sought dull flat dutiful comfort out of fear of uncertainty and what I’ve lost from that.
So I’ll let you know when I get there ;) 💋

Sorry but this is genuinely inspirational I feel like my whole life I’ve been looking down that barrel and havent listened to people when they told me to ”follow my passions” - your note on seeking comfort out of uncertainty but still always wanting more is extremely relatable. Hmm much to think about

eatgraeps I am SO glad to hear that it resonates with and inspires you!!! It’s been a process within about the last year of just making more and more little choices that feel like they align with my authentic self and coming into my power, my confidence, and my voice. I would have never expected all of the changes that have happened so far and the things I see coming on the horizon! You can always change your life ❤️

spent the last five or so years in a maze of ennui and self-pity, but i have in the last 18 months slowly been clawing my way towards something resembling the life i want to be living.
i can see the end of the tunnel now, but strangely that amplifies my impatience. when things seemed more hopeless it was perversely sort of freeing - i didn’t know where i should be going, so i wasn’t in a rush. now that i have the full map in my hands i have nothing left to do but drive towards the end. that’s exactly what i wanted, in a sense, but now i have the burden of actually executing on the promises i made to myself - turns out that’s harder than making the promises in the first place! who knew

crazy how your very being can just drift away sometimes…
but it’s always a great feeling to notice it and begin tracking yourself down once more

thinking if I give my brain and body space, they will simply feel inspiration, joy, excitement, curiosity, wonder, when the time is right. i’ve made a lot of big, honest, and tumultuous changes this year all after seeing parts of myself more clearly, and redirecting w that clarity towards a more beautiful joyful passionate loving life.
although short term im tapped out in most ways and fully oscillating between numb and overstimulated, I’ve set out the nets and these things will swim happily over to me when ready. trying to let that be

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
