Long Time No See

Cheers!

Cheers to this life.

Cheers to the people in it.

Cheers to those of you I haven't met yet.

Cheers to last month, the busiest of my life.

Cheers to knowing myself, my soul, my heart, and my intentions.

Cheers to those who can't see me in that same light.

Cheers to an ever-changing world.

Cheers to elephants...because they inspire me.

Cheers to my family, my smooth and rocky seas.

Cheers to knowing who I am.

So, who are you?

Is Authenticity Dead?

Everything feels rehearsed...
scripted even.

Hi.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm doing well, thanks.

This weather is brutal.
How is your family?
Did you see on the news today?
You look very nice today.

How about;

How is your life going?

What is your dream career?

If you could travel anywhere, where to?

Do you believe in fairies?

Unicorns would be awful fun to ride, don't you think?

How are you, as a person...not as a current emotion...?

Do you like to read?

What do you do in your free time?

Who's your favorite human being?

Do you love animals?

Day 26

______________________

The light....

I see the light!

The end of the tunnel is so close!

This blog challenge began with amazing inspiration,

It exceeded all expectations.

But now....

I am losing sight of purposeful writing.

I am tired or typing.

I am without spontaneous writing prompts.

My thoughts are depleted.

.......

Or am I losing sight of purpose?

Am I tired?

Am I losing my spontaneity?

Am I depleted?

........

Twice in One Week!

Day 25

_______________________

I blogged yesterday....
but then I forgot to post it....
because life has been busy....
which is no excuse.....

but seriously.
I'm kind of sorry.

Just a little.

_______________

I feel like there's a lot of stigma and expectations attached to being a woman.
And no, this is not a female empowerment post by any means… So don't get your hopes up.
When I say stigmas and stereotypes, I mean that outsiders think.....
 "we are all catty and secretly hate each other."
 "We are all superficial and compare our bodies and make up two other girls."
 "We hate other girls because we envy their hair or their height or their bra size."

There's this odd cloud that sits over female friendships, and female communities,
and I feel as though a lot of outsiders must imagine the drama, gossip, and trash talking that happens behind the girls backs.
 Granted, I know that this does happen often and that's why the stigma is attached to female groups.
But time and time again females impress me,
which is a weird thing to say when you say it out loud but it's true.
Females can be the most terrifying and hurtful group,
 but they can also be the most supportive and motivating group to be around.

 If you surround yourself with the right girls, anything is possible.
Just recently I threw a party at my house for the company my mom and I work for, so it was a presentation party.
Now, I'm not much of a socialite, I tend to prefer nights at home, so I didn't expect many people to show up.
Alas, last night my kitchen was filled with women who were all there to support me and my mom in our journey and the business that we're dedicating time to.
We all shared in inappropriate laughs, sampling, a few glasses of wine, and just good vibes and positive energy.

 I hate to say this, because I'm not sure it's either a reflection of myself… Or my personal past experiences…
But I'm ashamed to say that I never imagined that type of support from a group of women.
 God, it sound so stupid saying it out loud, and I'm sorry if this insults anybody because I underestimated anyone…
It wasn't the women specifically,1
But after being bullied for most of my childhood by girls....
Women still terrify me.

I love all the women I invited and wouldn't trade them for anything

Back to the point;
Wow, women are absolutely empowering, supportive, and beautiful beautiful beautiful people.

So if anyone's out there struggling with female friendships or bonds, you just have to find the right fit. The right community. The right group of women that are going to pick you up and keep you up,
because they love you.

Day 22

_________________________

"I'm going to help you build your life."

This is what a good friend says to me.

He has a few years on me.

His experiences and mine are on opposite spectrum ends.

_________________________

"I'm going to help you build your life."

What a good friend should always say.

How many friends of mine build me up?

It's easy, I can count them on one hand.

It's impossible to count all the others who tear me down.

_________________________

"I'm going to help you build your life."

Why do we settle for friends who don't say stuff like this?

My friends, my good friends,

they build me up and force me to expand.

They respect my shell when they "coerce" me out of it.

_________________________

"I'm going to help you build your life."

Only those who see your soul,

Your inner light,

Your endless possibilities,

say this stuff to you.

"I'm going to help you build your life."

Thank you,

my dearest friends.
