i have a lot anxiety about preparedness that i believe stems from perfectionism. i’ve missed out on a number of opportunities because i convince myself i’m not ready or ‘good enough’.
now i do my best to quiet that voice and just show up and allow myself the experiences i deserve.

🌞okay easier said than done, but having lived with anxiety since a kid it's easy to let life be lead by the fear of stuff and I've avoided so much and procrastinated so much. The first big thing I think I've learned as an adult is that the most important thing is just to keep moving and giving it a go. Like tonight I had a shift with a coworker I haven't worked with much at all, just us two and I was SO anxious. Me of two years ago would immediately pull a sickie but me of today just gave it a go!! I didn't blame myself for being quiet or awkward and just gave myself space and turns out she's SO lovely and now I'm not so anxious about working one on one with her again tomorrow. it's fine to be anxious but you can't let it halt you in life!!! take it slow, do it scared, do it quietly but give it a go and don't immediately blame yourself if you get things wrong. there's lots of other little moments like this I could list from lately but I'll spare you that !!!!

🩷something so healing and spiritually restorative about being around a couple that’s obsessed with each other.

🫂my mind no longer operates in the paradigm that, in my youth, convinced me that some (most) people were too [insert socially favorable adjective here] to be friends with me. as a result i was timid and insecure. i knew a lot of people and i thought they would never be interested in knowing ~me~.
in the past 5 years i’ve made close and genuine friendships with people i had previously put on a pedestal simply because i thought they were better than me.
omg i read a poem this morning that goes something like: “devotion is not love, it creates distance. you can’t hold someone from a pedestal.”
