May not be able to go to beach right now, but I’ll still keep painting it.

Not much to say today, just feeling grateful I got to spend time outside in the sunshine with my pup. Been having a tough time focusing this week. Can’t seem to conjure up any motivation either. But motivation comes and goes in waves. Still showing up, trying my best, and making time to rest😌☀️

I read the other day that our memories are so unreliable and prone to error that it’s more accurate to call them illusions than memories 🤯 Yet we form the majority of our thoughts and beliefs off those memories to create our reality... Which got me thinking how influential our memories and thoughts are. Like when you pick at something awkward that just happened until you’re not even sure if it was as bad as you thought. • Sometimes my thoughts aren’t the nicest. So I get anxious trying to monitor my thoughts to make sure they’re not negative. Which can get exhausting. • What’s helped me, is learning to separate myself from my thoughts. They’re just thoughts, and they’ll come and go, and I don’t have to define or attach meaning to each one. If our memories and thoughts are as powerful as said, I want to devote my energy on what makes me feel good.

Loving the way it looks in the light :)☀️ almost done!

Hello hey hi, it’s friday eve and here’s your reminder that it’s okay to take a break. When’s the last time you took some time off? Try to take some time this weekend. Say no to the thing you don’t want to do and yes to what you genuinely long for. Decompress. Unplug. Your body will thank you :)

Four years ago today was the last time I talked to you. That feels so weird to think about. When I think back to that time, the worst time in my life, something happened shortly after. Around the time I got to Peggy’s. When I started going on those walks early in the morning, just repeating to myself over and over in my head “I am going to heal. I am going to heal.” And then I did. And I did a lot faster than I expected and I spent a lot of time feeling guilty about that. But I realize now that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. You wanted me to heal and move on, as fast as possible. I know you’re still with me a lot. And that makes me happy because I want you to see the woman I am today. I’m proud of who I am and I can finally say that I love myself- I definitely didn’t when you were here. Anyway. Today is going to be a good day and I’ll be thinking about you.

There’s enough room for everyone. Sometimes I struggle with this. I get scared that if I don’t go through with my idea/plan, someone else will and then I’d have to find something else. Also guilty of hiding my dreams, because if people don’t know about them, they wouldn’t know if you failed. It’s hard but I’m trying to get over it because I feel like, at the end of the day, there’s room for everyone and their dreams. There will always be those thoughts that argue otherwise, trying to stop you before you even start. But pretty much anything outside your comfort zone will do that. If you’re thinking of starting something but you think it’s too late- it’s not. If you want to move forward with an idea but you think someone is already doing it- just do it. If you want to try something, but you think that there are already enough people doing it, do it anyways.

It is taking everything within me to keep waiting, but even here, my heart is slouched toward hope. - @morganharpernichols
