People.

The key is to surround yourself with people that inspire you. People you admire. People you like to listen to. People whose work you like to read. People who make you feel good when you're around them. People who look up to you, and to whom you look up. People that you want to have sit in your kitchen and drink a glass of wine. People who want to hear about your life and your experiences. People you want to cook meals for so you can sit, talk, and eat. People who will drop everything at a moments notice to help you out of a bind. People for whom you would do exactly the same. People who love you. People you love.

it's funny how so often we feel as though we're starting again. starting over.


turning over a new leaf.


tomorrow.


and this time it will be right and better and real.


and this time it will last.


and tomorrow we'll hold on to that glimpse of perspective that made us realize we had to go back and reevaluate in the first place.





but we never really start again. we never quite turn around and let go of our self-defined flaws. our patterning.


and we strive and we disappoint and we keep trying and we keep loving.


and we just keep going.





i think sometimes we need to remember that there's nothing so magical about tomorrow.


it holds our possibility. just like right now.



and despite that i'm so excited for next week.

because next week holds time to re-center.

to start again.

Coming home again. Feels like the place you lived didn't keep up with your new energy. Feels like you forgot how it felt. Seems like the place you live and you need to come to a new energetic agreement. Feels like a good night to meditate and fill the space with positivity.

Goals. To stop hating and just love. To listen and don't fight. To enjoy being home. To spend lots of time with family. To be influential. To embrace my career. To rest. To be impeccable with my word. To be honest. To be here.

some more of other people's words (c/o kelly)

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget."

- Arundhati Roy

trust the universe

....sometimes i think we have to challenge the universe. or at least challange our own perceptions - our own ideas about the universe.

and sometimes maybe we just need to trust it.


maybe we're gonna be o.k.
