I love my 40s for so many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that I know who I am. Not in that what kind of music I like or what kind of food I like or what kind of person I like kind of way. But like deep down to my core. And I know that settling will never be for me. Because I’m not afraid to be alone. I’m a pretty cool person to be alone with. and when you know that, your life just kind of opens up. there’s no dependency, there’s no urgency, there’s just a beautiful life to live. And anyone who tries to get you to settle or to dismantle your boundaries is someone who benefits from you not having them. The most beautiful relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself so be good to you.
Romanticize your life once in a while. Wear black silk bed for no reason & put that body oil that smells like cherry and smoke and old leather on your pulse points. Light all the candles. Buy yourself something decadent. Go somewhere new and do something new. Laugh loudly from your belly. Get in trouble.
Just be in love with your life and yourself once in a goddamn while

Lullaby-esque
I hope you all had a day full of good things with good people yesterday, and I hope today was restful. I’m finally feeling a little bit of the holiday spirit, which is nice. Heading downtown tomorrow to a candle lighting with my sister and some friends from out of town. Should be freezing but festive.
I know terrible, gut-wrenching things are happening in a lot of places, and I think knowing that makes it even more important to celebrate life when you can. To be present in joyful moments with people you fucking adore. I hope you’re taking time to do that.
The way my friends and I used to SCREAM the chorus whenever this came on anywhere. And if someone was going through a gnarly breakup ohhhh this song was the ONE
HA the memories
Get after that shiny, brand new week, it’s waiting for you!
