From 'nobody gets me like you' to—

'maybe in another life'

[wildm0untaingoat]

I was so self-conscious and sort of a people-pleaser for years until I came across this note stuck in a secondhand book I bought online that says:

"Everything sounds like criticism only when you're unsure of why you're doing what you're doing. It do be like that sometimes especially when you can't admit you're being stupid—you feel judged. And even if it doesn't matter whoever thinks that, you needed the feeling, otherwise you will always believe that just because you're having a great time, you're doing great too."

Glad to feel judged then. I've never been the same since.

I heard my workmate in a conversation with her mother who was probly in her mid 60s. Lianne's 31 & she asked her mother how she's cool with her not wanting marriage & not taking the field of her degree that could've made her & her daddy proud like they are on her bro. She's an archi grad but works in fashion industry in brand management dept. I was at the table behind them & her momma's response froze my own clock:

"Lee, your brother got married & had a kid at 23 because he wanted to. He's in Denmark with them because he found a job that made him who he is. If you felt yourself unfit for something but you want us proud so you went for it, you're that willing to fight against you than fight for your life. So I'm taking your choices as your desires because it means you know what you want. Take turns as many times as necessary but don't force yourself in a box just because you see others do well in theirs."

This isn't something that gets talked about a lot but it's actually brave to admit it loud when you feel that certain things are simply NOT for you. May it be a relationship, situation, course, a job or getting married or having kids, being honest with what u don't fancy to be in the cards is absolutely bold & it's okay. The world has billions of people but we're not all designated for the same route & destination. The path will only be grueling if you force your feet to walk in a shoes that isn't your size.

I quit fashion industry 3 months ago & am taking a vet med course. I'm more me. And when u know, u know.

An open door is not an invitation to enter. A closed door is to see who knows to knock first. And a locked door is to teach people how to.

I once had a teared wing, and I gave my best to make no sound when I ripped it off entirely and replaced it. So why would I break over a feather?

We often say things out of what we don't know, and it is typically the gap—a blunt revelation of ignorance, or the frequent betrays of silence.

Phoebe deserved this and Lisa Kudrow deserves the love for giving us the best of Regina Phalange aka Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock. 💕

Could you be loved?

I wished to have a friends-to-family kind of friendship. But I guess I did have it, because it felt like I was part of the circle the entire time I was watching. There's no single episode that I didn't laugh and I truly had a good time. You were there for me too. ❤️

Look around but sit still. Turn around without stepping back. Take walks and feel your calves stiffen. Let it all in and keep it all down. Life goes on.
