The goal isn’t a big house or keeping up with the Jones. Possessions are just things. I don’t care what everyone else has. It’s not a competition. It’s my heart and soul filled with experiences and memories with the ones I love. A mind filled with adventures to tell future generations. The way my soul feels calm when I talk to him. Family dinners and game nights. Hugs and kisses and cuddles. The simplicity of being wrapped in his arms as we dance under the stars when no one is watching. A smile. A laugh. Surrounding myself with people who add value to my life. Who challenge me to be greater than I was yesterday. The people who sprinkle magic into my world, the same way I do to theirs. We are meant to share this life. When I daydream about the future I don’t picture myself growing old alone. And after those enchiladas I made last night, someone better wife me up quick. (Laughing). In a world of easy access I’m a traditionalist when it comes to love. Relationships aren’t difficult. It’s people’s expectations that make the magic disappear. No, when I daydream I don’t see myself alone. I see myself surrounded by the amazing people in my life. Enjoying the sun rise and sets. Happy. Loved. And loving those who mean the most to me.
A lot goes wrong before everything goes right. ~The Universe
I’m looking at life differently these days. It’s a flow. A movement. There is no rush or sense of urgency. It’s a dance. C I’m living on my terms. Calm. Peaceful. Respectfully. I let my intuition guide me. Allowing people who match my energy in and others I’m letting go. Putting my phone down more and lifting my head to look people in the eyes as we loose ourselves in conversation. I crave those into the night talks filled with laughter. Solving the world’s problems at the dinner table. Being in nature. Boardgames and puzzles. Making plans for the future. Dancing to vinyl. Human connection. Reading books. And sometimes just silence. This quote was a heavy hitter for me because a lot has happened. I can’t wade in sorrows forever. Life is shifting. And it feels so good.
I know I’m an independent woman, but I appreciate being treated with softness so much, because in every part of my life, I always have to show up strong.
I say things without thinking. Or only thinking of myself without realization of how it comes across to others. For example, I recently made the comment ‘there is nothing for me here.’ Referring to the dead end of professional progression I am currently cornered into. This comment was said to someone I care a great deal for. And it didn’t mean that he was nothing. He is more than something. In all honesty, he’s the only reason I’m still there. You know how you just connect with another person like you’ve known them your entire life. He is one of a handful of people I feel that way about. I don’t think he understands that he’s a part of my circle now. No matter where I go or he goes he’s going to be part of my life. End of story.
I will have it all. The love, the loyalty, the happiness. The relationship. The financial stability. I’m not afraid to stand alone because I know my own strength. I’m selective with my energy and who I let into my life. I’ve seen the fake friendships, the drama, and the gossip and I’ve walked away from all of it. I have built a life that’s peaceful and drama free. And I’m happier for it. I do not need to be surrounded by people to feel complete. I am comfortable in my own company. My time is precious. I am a woman who knows what she wants and I won’t settle for anything less. So, if you meet a woman with no friends or a very small circle don’t underestimate her. She’s secure, confident and knows her worth. She’s a woman who doesn’t need validation from others because she’s already validated herself. I will have all of this and more because it’s what I bring to the table. I am ready to share that with someone who shares the same values as me.
My energy is unique, like a radio frequency. If I choose to share it with you, you mean something to me. Waking up in September is a whole different vibe. It’s the beginning of my favorite time of year. And time for new experiences,
