My favorite quote from the book “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse” is when the boy says, “what’s the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” And the horse says, “Help. Asking for help, isn’t giving up, it’s refusing to give up.”
I just always have to remind myself of that. I’m not sure why I’m so hard headed and apparently, I was born that way Maybe my journey on this earth is how to ask for help because I seem so obsessed with giving it.
Another quote from the story that love that I feel is very good for our modern times is: “One day you will look back and see that when things were at their worst, you were at your best.”
I’m just trying to be my best.

I think I’ve always wanted to be a woman of my word. Oftentimes, though, I’d find myself committing to things that I knew I couldn’t handle. I guess I had a sort of optimism (or foolishness) that I could do it all, and, by committing, I could do all the things I set my mind to. Fulfill every empty promise if i could just muster up the grit required.
I’ve realized recently, though, that to be of your word means also having the strength to say no. And, perhaps more importantly, the strength to mean it. How strong one must be to be of their word. Not because they always come through for people when they said they would but because they had the foresight and humility to be honest when their plate was too full or when their best wouldn’t make the cut. Being of your word is standing firm in your no’s as well as your yes’s. I’m young, though. I’m certain I’ll make countless promises I cannot keep. I’ll fall silent when I should speak up for myself. But I’m learning, and I’m hopeful I’ll keep doing that.

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

and wonder why the hell they asked you to hang out? Like I just hung out with someone and they looked at their phone half the time and then asked me the most minimal stuff ever and then after 45 mins said “I have to go!” Like, damn girl you beat me to it

I was so tired and could barely stay awake for my friends DJ set but it ended up being really good and I’m so proud of them :)

isn't it crazy how when you get a drink in this cup it tastes 100% better than any other type of drinking vessel? You can have the same diet coke or whatever but if it comes in this cup it's going to be much more crisper and tasty. Shout out the Cambro 2000P156 much love
