in a week where we seek to reflect and celebrate the things we are grateful for, man I got a whole fucking lot. i think often about how no one can ever share (or therefore fully understand) the unique experience that is your life. a lot of times I haven’t realized the things I’ve needed until I found it. fifty classes in this space. what a gift it is to share this wonderful space with people who speak life and empowerment into your soul. grateful to have found such a beautiful community that reminds me: “you’re stronger than you think”. STRONG: for a long time it’s a label I’d rebuff because I’d find it to be directly correlated and reflective of my complete exhaustion and self-reliance. Finding power and purpose in redefining what words mean has actually created such fortitude and stillness. strange thing about it is that my gratitude doesn’t just extend to the lovers but also the naysayers and the critics as well. however you frame it, it all helps shapes a realization of self. that sense of content with being perfectly imperfect, a little bit ridiculous and finding people and spaces that allow your idiosyncrasies to flourish. consider your desires aren’t delusion- it’s visuals in future tense. grateful for a space that honors both who I am and will be 💙
