i'm livin my best life! it's my birthday, at least that's what i’m dressed like!!
literally you guys i can't even believe my life, but most notably, i can't believe i can actually experience and enjoy it. this is not a life i ever knew i could have-- these are not moments or people i ever knew existed, these are not the bonds i was taught to embrace or the decisions i was led to make. this is not a freedom i knew was available to me.
i thought i was free, but i did not feel free. i was consumed by thoughts, especially of the future. i was depressed, anxious, apathetic-- feeling futile and full of myself all at the same time.
then i finally did something that i wanted to do. with little logic but led by intuition, i joined the peace corps in morocco. there, i discovered how to just be, to stop chasing, to be present. i shifted from who i thought i was to who i am.
and every day i get to remember this truth. i get to wake up, exist, observe what is true, tap into my body's wisdom, connect with soul sisters, break chains passed down to me. i get to silence my mind, to release what is projected onto me, to move and speak freely, to create as my simple soul.
this life is completely unexpected, most of all for me. i'm not perfect but every present moment is 🌸 this weekend was yet another sacred reminder of the life that i create and choose alongside special souls. i make my life fun, easy, honest, open, free. wbu?
