Some of my life & inspo below.

My nails are a MOOOOOOOd 🐮

“You're learning to move through the world in daring, even fearless ways - continually trying something new. If obstacles come up, you can conquer them with ease. Driven by a sense of idealism and a search for truth, you're meant to trust yourself above all else. Know that you have the capacity to guide yourself and deal with anything that comes your way."

A word from my spirituality app.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I’ve always envisioned for myself scared me. There was no blueprint or perfect example handed to me for “when I grow up I want to be ______.” Just dreams in my head and vision boards on my wall.

It took a while for me to embrace this about myself though and I’m still learning to embrace this. But if I’ve learned anything it’s this... Trust yourself. You know exactly what you want. My favorite quote is “The best way to predict the future is by creating it.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Advice I received a few weeks ago from someone I admire:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make a list of all your talents, passions, and interests. Circle one that brings you joy and then circle one that brings you money. Focus on those two and prioritize the remaining.

I’m just falling in love with myself all over again 💕

I have been doing a lot of reflection on who I aspire to be. @basebutter feels like a stepping stool to something greater and I mean I already did what I was supposed to do 🤷🏽‍♀️. I pursued an education and career in tech that seemed to offer more traditional stability, recognition, and favoritism amongst those around me.

It was cool, I was great at it, and made a lot of money, but man oh man... my mind wondered to Tumblr style feeds, fashion editorial sites, Pinterest mood boards, doodling designs, and journaling a lot at work. This same creative energy is back fueling something within. I find myself daydreaming more often these days and struggling to focus on the work in front of my face.

PS: Not only can @zspence10 plan great trips and have the picks for the day, he can also take great pictures 😀

Dressing up, re-decorating my room, and crafts were some of my favorite hobbies as a kid. I had no tv in my room so it was just me, my boom box, and my creativity. Interior design, stylist, and even art teacher (I love the kids) were my dream jobs. When I got on the computer the only games I really enjoyed playing were styling games or Microsoft paint. I specifically remember I loved playing this Lizzie McGuire game where I could virtually style Miranda. As I got older I kept those things that made me happy in my “hobbies” bucket.

I’ve been without a camera since 2017 (someone stole my previous), but I’m back in action with a X-T20 (not pictured), so expect great creations this year ✨. #riseandshoot

I have this weird habit of sticking my tongue out whenever I’m super focused on a creative project. I actually hate that I do it, but hey it’s me. Comment 😜 if you’ve ever caught me in action.

Got cute and made magic with @taylor_naturally today ✨

Kids know exactly who and what they want to be I believe, but some of us lose our way as we mature due to external factors (stability, making others proud, fitting in, and more). Some of us who lost our way reconnect with the passion from our childhood that fuels life changes and transitions. (ie. career changes, “finding ourselves”, etc.) I am one of those kids ✋🏽. Are you?

True story: I manifested this hat. I’ve been wanting to invest in a bucket rain hat for months and came across this in SF. Thanks for frontin the cost @nicolette.camille 👌🏽
