To Get Us Started - Updated 8/24

Hey there! I figured the hardest part of starting something like this is the actually getting started part. So, for this first post I'm going to give you some quotes that I think embody who I aim to be in life. It's nice to meet you!

• "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow," Ralph Waldo Emerson

• "If you're not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback," Brene' Brown

• "She's the type of girl/ that has a place in her heart/ for all the lonely people to go/ with their forgotten footprints/ in the snow" Courtney Peppernell

• "It feels right now that the next thing I might learn may change me entirely," Benedict Bridgerton

• "Watch carefully/ the magic that occurs,/ when you give a person, just enough comfort, to be themselves" Atticus (PS. this should also be extended to yourself)

8/24 Update:

It's such a weird & frustrating place to be to KNOW that perfectionism only holds me back, but my nervous system not always getting the memo. I suppose to challenge that I should post more on Insta and on here a lot more. And w/o going over the posts over and over again. Because sometimes I go over my writing, captions, etc. to review word choices. Worried that something might be taken the wrong way or maybe I'm missing a piece of important information.

This stems largely from spending most of my life feeling misunderstood and that need to then overexplain and/or overjustify everything I say. And, y'all, its fucking exhausting!
