I want to live a creative life, one where I follow my inspiration and fill my days with things that matter to me.

I want to spend my time intentionally and not waste it numbing out with TV and snacks because I’m exhausted by the pressure I put on myself.

I want to knit, cook, dance, write, coach, read, learn, and experiment with the things I want to have in my life. Because that makes me feel alive.

I want a full life that feels spacious.

Sometimes though, we can lose touch with our intuition. We’re about to make a big decision,…

oh oh, feminism

When Fifth Harmony sings “I don’t need no explanation, ’cause baby you’re the boss at home” and I sing along to it I have to forget what I’m saying. Wiz Kalifa’s “You & Your Friends” is a great song to dance to, but when he says “I got all this drank poured up […] Don’t…
