No matter our race, gender, sexual orientation, age, etc. we’re all human and I think we have moments where we see what we’re NOT. We can’t see who we really are and APPRECIATE ourselves for the stains, weaknesses, failures, imperfections that block our fucking vision. Too often we think we’re not enough. Why can’t we accept those imperfections and grasp our positive attributes? I’m so guilty of this. Most people see me as being confident but I have insecurities and a long list of shortcomings. I have to constantly remind myself that I am uniquely enough.
But sometimes trying to persuade myself just isn’t enough. When I can’t get through to myself and I’m thinking negative things about myself I listen to positive bad ass songs that bring me up. We forget how much music can adjust our attitudes. If we would just listen to music that triggers our vibe, it might just improve our moods. I’m aware this might not work at times. It’s just a suggestion. Just sharing what works for me at times.
Today I heard this song for the first time and it really restored my mindset for the day and thought I would share it. I hope you really listen and let it resonate. We all need affirmation that we are enough.
The "About" me section is the first thing I look for when a blog catches my eye when scrolling through the discovery section of WP. Yet, it scares the living fuck out of me to have to sum up in detail this section of my very own blog. Why? Because whatever I write, you might be hooked or bored to tears. Actually, you're probably already bored to tears by now. So let me get to it then.....
By the way, I used to have a blog called Fabulous With Glitches so some of this might sound familiar.
Friends might describe me as the life of the party yet secretive. I tend to keep things inside that trouble me. I've been self-reliant all of my life and I don't like to show weakness or that something worries me. Holding back has led me to seek refuge here. I can write out my thoughts and feelings so that it frees up my mind. It seems like my mind is open 24/7 like a gas station and just never turns off the open sign.
I grew up in the south and come from the typical opinionated southern christian parents. Well, they're very involved now in church. Growing up, my parents weren't necessarily "present" in my life. They were around and did the best they could I suppose. I'm grateful for everything they have contributed in my life. I know that it could've been much worse. As they say, I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't grow up the way that I did.
Gritty is a good word to describe me as well. I've had to speak up and defend myself throughout my life. I'm confident and a bit headstrong.
I have two cats and I adore them needless to say. Their names are Franklin and Farrah. Yes, I consider myself a crazy cat lady, what's it to ya? You will see pictures of them throughout my blog I'm sure :)
Welcome and thank you so much for stopping by and peaking into my safe place full of random thoughts.
XO
