thoughts about things

You’re already good enough, you already have more than enough, and you’re already perfect.

God I need to keep reminding myself of this, or I’ll be forever chasing an imagined carrot of “otherness” that I want to have.

I spent a good number of years waiting to have the feeling that I’d suddenly done something great or amazing! That I’d made it! Annnnd not surprisingly, such a revolutionary way of feeling or being or existing in the world didn’t occur! What? Why!? How could this be?

Slowly I began to realise that, Shit, I’m going to actually need to make real physical steps for anything to change! It may be unfamiliar. It may be scary. I may feel lost. Unless I ask for guidance and help and comfort. :) It may take actual effort, planning, action and sacrifice. But that’s the name of the game. 

I may very well always feel like this little kid, like there’s something I don’t know or don’t get that I think most other people do… So I should acknowledge that that is my base and move forward from there, regardless.
