I’ve got a lot of flaws.
I’m restless, moody, overly aggressive, have ultra high highs followed by crash-&-burn lows, but honestly, I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything.
The whole time I passed the time trying to figure out what the hell I’d do with my life, I worked on my insides.
Who am I? What am I ashamed of? What moves me?
Instead of stuffing all that away, I brought it to surface. I incorporated my repressed traits, and then– I started getting the life I wanted.
You wouldn’t have to try to be anything if you just were, that might sound wokey– but it’s key.
All the things I wanted to be, I became, without trying, the second I accepted and embraced all of me (insides and out, shadow and persona).
And now?
I’ve started to do the work I LOVE, the work that lights my spirit, play.
Those events just unfolded right before me, completely in my favor, when I was ready. I became the person who can do those things– and now they’re here.
That is my advice to you.
You’ll be tempted to look outward instead. What job do I want next? What do I do? How?
Fuck all that.
It’s counterintuitive BUT go inside.
RECONNECT to who you are. Start writing to yourself or talking, and instead of forcing questions like “Hey me, what do you want” (because that never works), just look. Look at how you look.
How do others see you, try to imagine it.
What do they experience?
Both sides.
Your fans and haters.
And don’t judge.
You’re lucky to be you, embrace it.
