π been feeling v compelled lately to practice self-respect in the form of dedicating time and energy into honing my creative skills despite the loathsome grind of my 8 - 5 job.
i spent a lot of time and money and emotional energy to get the job i have now and i don't hate what i do but i do know that there's more to all of this beautiful life than playing it safe and getting sucked into a monotonous cycle.
loving and respecting myself means devoting myself to my higher aspirations. deep down i know my soul glows brightest when i create and i'm seen thru that work. i'm on a ferocious pursuit to brighten that glow every day and i hope you are too if you feel that same impulse.

πyou carry deep longings, creative promises, ancient whispers
you carry greatness
you want to tap into it, you want to access it now, you want to have arrived, to be the fullest you that you will ever be
but some of that inner gold can only be found on the other side of crucibles in the aftermath of fires that will form you through suffering
so embrace it all: the soaring heights and gold medals and the seasons of desert darkness, let it make you who you truly are, let it burn away the falseness and posturing and people-pleasing, savor every moment
--
But to the question β how did I figure out what I wanted to do and be? I haven't really yet. No idea where I'll be in a decade.
But if I can figure out the next right thing today, that which is true and good, that which is marked by love and care for community, then my path is probably illuminated just long enough for me to take the right next step.
Q to You: what makes your heart soar?

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

πΆI've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
