Reflections

Want to meet the love of your life?
Look in the mirror.

I’m not perfect. I make mistakes. I talk loudly. I curse a lot. I say sarcastic jokes. I can be demanding on projects and controlling with the vision. My ‘no bullshit’ attitude often makes people uncomfortable when I cut right to the chase. My fiery mouth can & does get me in trouble.

But the truth is, I’m just like you. Trying the best I fucking can to be a better person, to shed old layers + ancestral patterns that don’t serve me anymore. I won’t always get it right. But I’m giving everything I’ve got.

Under the rough exterior and the bred New Jersey attitude, is a heart of fucking gold. I KNOW WHO I AM. I love my Self and my tribe deeply. I have compassion for those around me. I am kind, despite the fiery mouth. I’m the best sharer. What’s mine is yours, because what fun is having if you can’t share with the people you love, plus I can’t take it with me when I go. I’m a warrior for mySelf + my people. I’ll go to battle for my tribe.

It’s known that diamonds are made through the process of alchemy, applying heat and pressure to create a gem. I so often feel the pressure & varying temperatures of the flames. I need to go through moments of discomfort to uncover the lustrous jewel already inside of me, for without salty, I would not know sweet.

The human experience has endless layers, moments of hardship, uneasiness, memories of joy, wild ecstasy, components we can not even comprehend, sometimes until long after the moments have passed. As the year comes to a close, I’m reflecting heavily on who I’ve been, how I present my Self, who I want to be and the endless LOVE I can share.

👁 PEELING BACK THE LAYERS SO I CAN SEE MYSELF BETTER.
