let me just … overshare for a moment (you’re welcome in advance for the vulnerability. it took me a while to get here).
my life has been … wild. so many twists and turns. ya know, i spent most of my life not seeing my worth as a person, afraid of failure, afraid of success, afraid of fame … a lot of fears (•᷄- •᷅ ‘ ) …
the main cause is that my mental health has been in the gutter from a young age. for many reasons. ૮(˶ㅠ︿ㅠ)ა
most of my adult life, i have been plagued by thoughts such as, ‘who am i? a speck. i have these delusions of grandeur. that’s all they are. delusions.’ yet, from a young age, i always knew i was destined for greatness. i wanted it all: to be a writer, an artist, a singer, a dancer, a musician, a traveler. but life kept me down. & mostly, i kept myself down.
it’s true, my lifestyle choices have always been judged by those around me (i haven’t lived a typical life). because of the people pleaser in me, i never really gave myself permission to, just … do what the heck i wanted to do with my life before. yes, i spent so long trying to make everyone else happy: giving myself away, and not leaving anything for me. ( • ᴖ • ｡)
so, what’s the difference between then and now? well, in the past year, i have really looked deep, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp down within myself. i have gotten to know me, i have worked on healing me, i have fallen madly and truly in love … with myself, i have faced many a fear, i have spent time alone in my head, i have forgiven myself, i have made many life-changing moves, i got super brave to art school (for, like, a whole semester, haha! don’t worry, i will probably do a whole post just on that) … ‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.
because of everything i went through in 2024, i have regained that godlike confidence from my youth. i remember who i am a little more each day. i am giving my inner child permission to enjoy life, to create, to revel, to dance, to be free. i will no longer live my life chained to the expectations of others. ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ
yes, most importantly, i believe in myself again. (and so should you, because i am awesome. tehe. ᕙ( ˵ •̀ ᴗ – ˵ )ᕗ ✧ )
& i remember why i am doing this. i am here to change the freaking world, one day at a time.
so, stick around if ya want. get a front row seat to the chaos & wonder & beauty that is my life. i do so appreciate you being here. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Want to keep in the loop? Follow me on my socials. ☟☟☟
FYI, because of certain, um … *gestures vaguely at the state of things* … stuuuuffffff (｡﹏｡”) … i will be eventually transitioning my main socials (currently fb & insta) to other platforms, such as bluesky, facehey, maybe tumblr? rednote? (if anyone has ideas for where i can post images in a similar style to insta, i am all ears because that is the one i love the most) wherever i go, i will let you know. ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
remember to go, like, touch grass and stuff. ˖ ࣪‧₊˚⋆✩٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ✩ admire the beauty of life. appreciate the silver linings. i love you. ⋆˚✿˖° 𐙚 ₊ ⊹ ♡
