How To Start a Diary Entry

Summer in disposables 🫶🏼☀️
Learning beautiful lessons the last few weeks: when nothing goes according to plan, it’s a good reminder that perhaps life has a better plan than you.

What if instead of kicking and screaming like a little kiddo, thinking “but it’s not how I wanted it! This should have gone differently!!”, we thought “well… i guess something better is meant for me.”😉

P.s. As all good advice, it’s always easier said than done 😜

Impressed… over and over (and over) again, that if you just surrender to life… literal magic can happen. 🪄 

I know this. I’ve seen it hundreds of times.

And yet… when times are tough, all these memories of trust, surrender & faith go out the window.

Call it trust-amnesia? Forgetting that the Universe has our backs?

But boy oh boy. But if you just get out of the way, surrender, and trust the flow of life…

The most unexpected, magical things can happen. And when they happen, all you can do is sit back and wonder: “how come I ever doubted the flow of life? I’ll never do that again… 🙊”

I’m always fascinated by our capacity as humans to shed old skin, change, and evolve.

Sure, we may not let go of our outdated selves as visibly as a snake, leaving physical evidence of what’s been let go of. But we go through periods — whether it’s in cycles of months, years, or decades — where an old self simply isn’t serving us anymore. It becomes a trap.

We’re professional shape-shifters, changing masks and becoming different characters depending on where we are, with whom we are, and what we’re trying to achieve.

But… who is the ‘you’ behind all these masks?

Ooft. Great question.

I’ve been shedding a lot of old skin and going through major life transitions over the last 10 months. Asking a lot of big, bold (and uncomfortable) questions so I can understand myself more deeply.

It’s interesting that no matter how old you are, if you don’t actively work on understanding your thoughts, beliefs, and deepest longings, being 15 or 45 can feel surprisingly similar. The inner experience remains the same. It’s only the reflection in the mirror that changes.

In the last few years, I found myself feeling exactly how I did when I was 14.

Making myself small, wanting to hide, being scared of taking up space and really showing up, and, of course, worrying about how others may perceive what I do or say (oh hey, any other recovering people-pleasers here?).

These narratives we have in our minds (‘I’m not good enough,’ ‘I’m not confident enough,’ ‘Who am I to do this?’) are nothing but well-rehearsed scripts.

Don’t like where you’re at or who you are? Get yourself a new script.

Start learning those new lines (it’ll be tough), but the more you rehearse them, the easier they’ll become.

Eventually, they’ll sound natural. And at some point, they’ll be so natural that you’ll forget it was ever a script you needed to rehearse — it’ll simply be the new narrative by which you live.

The magic that life can be if you just hold onto your vision, follow your intuition, and surrender… 🥹

Wow, wow, wow.

The Universe has always left me speechless, but this year she really knocked it out of the park, and we’re not even halfway through. 

I can’t stress this enough: only you know what is best for you, what your heart is yearning for, what direction you need to take, what dreams you need to focus on, what you need to say yes to or no to, what you need to let go of, what you need to allow in.

The easiest thing in life is to stay in the same spot, to remain stuck, to be unhappy and unsatisfied but declare ‘well, it’s just how things are,’ to accept the mediocre and the ‘fine,’ to let the dreams of your inner child slowly wither away because ‘you’re an adult now and need to be realistic.’

I recently met someone who confessed that for the last 10 years, they’ve studied and worked in a field that they didn’t like.

I asked: ‘if you could do anything else, what would it be?’ They responded with a dream and goal that were so exciting and beautiful but followed it with: ‘yeah, but, not gonna happen. It’s not realistic to change careers now.’

The person was 30.

They’ve invested 10 years in a career that made them miserable. What was more realistic was staying in that career for another 30+ years instead of taking the next 5 to course-correct.

This happens way too often and it always breaks my heart. A realistic adult on the outside, an abandoned and joy-deprived inner child on the inside. 😔

Please give yourself permission to be unrealistic. Most people whom I meet that consider themselves ‘realistic,’ I would not trade places with.

Many of these so-called realistic lives feel numb, empty of joy and meaning. Chasing the temporary highs of pleasure in order to numb the yearning for a life of purpose and joy.

Be careful what you label as realistic. It might just determine the entire course of your life.

p.s. remember: clear vision + unwavering faith + hard work = ✨unrealistic magic✨
