yes that’s my pizza and an adult beverage in a plastic cup behind me. some might call this a personality pic. anyways, i’m lonely y’all. i’ve been wanting to say y’all for so long even though i’ve never said it. anyways (again), it’s ok to be lonely, but I’m just so excited to be with my friends at the end of the week at gnaoua and then be with my sister/mom for the next month. couldn’t be better timing. ok gnight
self love is a hot topic these days, rightly so. but a part of self love i was unaware of has recently come to my attention— self trust. following through when you tell yourself you’re going to do something, like waking up on time or working out or showering or even doing nothing. of course there are circumstances in which intentionally and with consideration you change your plans, but for the most part, you should be doing what you say you will do. otherwise, it’s really simple, just don’t say you’ll do it. i was doing the opposite and saying i’d commit to things and then brushing it off like I had countless other times, continuing to “commit” to them and expecting that one day it’d just click and i’d do it. the breakthrough of all this is that i realized if i can’t trust myself to mean what I say and act accordingly, i can’t trust anyone else to do the same.
eid mbruk! this ramadan has been such a meaningful experience for me. i’m so grateful to have this community and culture in my life. this last month has been full of intention and growth, and i’ve made decisions and taken actions that will have an impact on me for years to come. the fast has inspired me to take responsibility for myself and practice presence while bringing me closer to a higher power. i encourage you to find a healthy practice that switches up a part of your life and makes you think a little more about how you interact with, react to, and are affected by the world around you.
on @maddiebaker04’s roof slightly after sunset after a good night’s sleep of an hour and a half. ramadan has turned my life upside down, but it’s been a really special month for me, full of reflection and solitude at home, followed by a week of breakfasts all over maddie’s community. i’m back home and can’t believe it’s almost over. hoping to make the most of my last few days of fasting. the next couple of months are packed and will likely fly by... woooww i’m grateful for and shocked at my life rn
