Hozier playlists are not for the weak. Feeling alllllll the feels after a deep dive of his most feral-inducing music, to be direct the man is an Irish legend for a reason.

"I need a holiday, a very long holiday"

[giantmonsterramommy]

Los libros ya me leían los recuerdos antes de conocerte, me contaban que un día vería los versos en forma de hombre, que aprendería a escribir con la tinta de tus ojos, y que delante de los míos te volverías poesía.

-channeling

this morning brought two different wakeup calls, one was the rousing caw of a bird outside my window and the other was 'fortnight' coming through

-something balanced this way comes

in a fortnight from today it will be the 21st, the night before the autumn equinox... something to bear in mind is that on the 22nd, nature returns to a state of harmony and balance as the sun moves into libra

-laaaid back

not related (unlike the previous two posts) but using lower caps is just such a freeing experience, having a laid-back attitude after years of rigid academia is just the ticket //a new beginning//

Martinis are made with gin, not vodka 

Give grace in all things but making a proper martini. Gin. Not the potato juice. I don't even drink anymore but I will stand on the proverbial hill with the other purists... they'll need a ride home

put the "ee" in deer

Darling mother-daughter deer duo decided to come onto my hiking trail today, we stood a few feet apart for an enchanted moment. Just as I thought the moment couldn't get any more precious the fawn fearlessly leapt up into the woods and led mom into the grove of trees above. Later another doe made an appearance, off to my left she was berry-munching and completely unfazed by me. She enjoyed the nibbles and altitude as I walked on by, mesmerized. I have read that deer can recognize humans and given our numerous meetups (yes I hike a lot) I have to say it's a privilege to be known to them, while the ladies do not seem fazed by my appearance I still marvel with each encounter.

Pink lilies, ladybugs, self reflection oh my!

Like the aforementioned flora I am starting to bloom, coming into my true self as I edge close to 33. I am doing so by speaking my truth, calling the shots in my life, living without fear and with the focus of optimal living. It's another long-winded way of stating the obvious, I am the woman I always have been. I freed myself from the cage of my own making and released the negative energy. I love who I am, I always have previously I was soooo apprehensive about showing this side of me but no longer. I marvel at her like a work of art housed in a grand museum, able to be seen and appreciated by all those surrounding. She is magical, weird, in tune with nature, sexy in her whimsy, unapologetically optimistic, and a lovely expression of empathy and humility. She is soft-spoken, moves with grace purpose and ease, not to mention her heart and intentions are pure, and her vocabulary is a crown jewel in today's world of emojis, slang, and abbreviations. *I was even told so at a weekend retreat by a complete stranger who complimented my elevated language

(^ That felt good)

this is so lovely, I am filled with inner bright light a paradigm shift

Natalie Wee, Least of all

[giantmonsterramommy]

I think a lot about...

her emotional state and what regulation looked like at different stages of life (parental validation, alcohol, male approval, money, material success)

her ability to wield charm, the ability to weaponize it when such behavior suited her

her no-nonsense approach when it came to her siblings

her deep admiration for her parents, a bond that was unlike any other in her life (even at the expense of her personal growth)

the way she controlled other's perception of her without revealing her true self (or so she thought)

the way she was so beautifully stubborn

the way she really had no friends but always managed to engage in conversation

the inner strength she always managed to tap into, especially when alone

the moment she finally experienced an awakening

the journey of self-discovery, who she was and who she became

how she learned to release trauma and disappointments with time

how the circumstances around her informed her though did not dictate her experience

how she was never able to be in the present moment until it was oftentimes too late (irreversible circumstances/ tragedy struck)

how there were always tactics to survive but not necessarily thrive

how the people in her immediate life were taken for granted at times whereas the people who made appearances were exhaulted

salacious segment:

Espresso, from the singing to the sipping

No more relying on Sabrina Carpenter to get my daily shot of serotonin. It is time, time to make a purchase now before I do so I obviously want something simple to use/clean; a machine that is affordable; as well as aesthetically pleasing to my eye. This largely comes from all the visuals I am seeing of espresso, being made/consumed in Italy and they make me wanna jump ship. On a related note, I think I will select a model for purchase as a house-warming present to myself.

ghosts are weird (I felt the energetic shift)

Gah, so two appeared in my experience within the last week or so, one made it's presence known but otherwise didn't interact and one came to play which left me feeling drained... can't say I recommend either experience.

Apparently there are 12 chakras, not merely 7 chakras

While all the accumulated knowledge/experience I gain may start to (mentally) overwhelm me I am finding balance in my (spiritual) approach by (not only) learning to accept (but) accepting the physical effects of change (as they occur) This is quite freeing, constantly stepping out my own head and back into my body gives me a deep sense of stability. I can simply process in my own time and allow the energy to settle without applying extra pressure on myself or hold any self-imposed standards of perfection above my head.
