last night was host to several firsts and “firsts in a long time”

felt awkward, at times – happens

wasn’t the only way i felt

and…

through it all, i was able to be present and show up authentically – as myself, for myself

feels incredibly empowering

goes to show – it’s possible to be awkward and continue moving through it*

*circumstances may vary, dry legs not guaranteed

p.s. no one has to give you permission to pursue what you want – it’s up to you

go for it

trying to just go for it

sometimes easier said than done

so…

listened to tracks i’ve collected since 11/7 – led by the aforementioned ear-worms and featuring a Turqouiz centerpiece

working on articulating what buffering is/has been, for me
