My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Not Everything Is Simple. (Except Me—I’m Perfect.)

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.

Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.

Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?

Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.

Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.

Stop escaping it.

a really good listen and affirms so much - it`s the keeping on going when no-one else is looking that is the real empowerment - having the confidence in our own product that eventually shines through to the the customer.. It can be so hard ( most of the time ) and I for one have never had huge followings mostly because I am inconsistent and find it hard to communicate.. or expose myself rather.. That authenticity I keep hearing from you Sara - I`m listening!! just taking a while to get there.. …

Rooting for you Alexandra! It DOES take time so give yourself lots of love and grace for that. Most of us have spent a lifetime forging the armour that covers up our real, squishy selves. It takes time to peel it back off, piece by piece. Sending lots of love 💕
