Princess Jasmine is the only ("coronated") Disney Princess that is not the main character of the story she is a part of! All of the other Disney Princesses are the main characters, except her! I don't know what this means exactly, but I'm a lil upset about it and I just want people to know about this. She's from the Disney Renaissance for Mouse's sake! Release the Greta Gerwig cut! *deep breath* Tell the world people. 

I got online to listen to Taylor Swift's somber, "You're on your own kid" and feel my feelings, but spontaneously went with "Sk8er boi" by Avril Lavigne and freakin loved it. Womanhood is a spectrum and sometimes she rides a skateboard.  T.C. ~E

There are still some animals that will never encounter humans or interact in any capacity with human civilization or influence. And knowing that those animals still exist brings me peace.

I walk in the middle of empty streets because I'm a main character. I move to the side when a car comes by because I'm not a stupid selfish A-hole who thinks they're the only main character.

It is an amazing feeling to be confident in your own ability to do something you know you can do. But it's an even better feeling to still be able to surprise yourself with how amazing you did something you already knew you could do well. Be confident and be surprised. Find that balance. Highly recommend.  c; T.C. Y'all ~E

I was coloring today and I wanted to write my name on the back of my craft that I was VERY proud of! I "popped off" as the kids say. I chose my favorite color of crayon to write my name on the back and realized something! 

I have always had a strange and unexplainable aversion to spelling the color "gray" with an "a" and not an "e" as I feel I commonly see it spelled as "grey". I never knew why I liked "gray" more than "grey" and after using crayons today for the first time in a while. It unlocked something and I'm pretty sure it was because on the crayon it is spelled as "gray".

I genuinely do not believe I can fake caring about something that I genuinely don't care about. I can put on a face really well, but actually doing something that requires significant time, energy, and effort... that takes a lot. I can lie to myself about my feelings, but I know my values too well to waste giving my life and my cares to something I don't value. Maybe I just have to find the value in everything. And focus intently on it. *Sigh* I'm so tired.   

Sometimes I feel like I'm on a boat.

Caught in an angry & violent storm.

And the more I fight against it, the more I realize...

Wind cannot be violet. Waters cannot be angry.

I hold the violence. I create the anger.

I am the storm. 

*Deep breath*

I am the Storm. 

I made Blog, Not-Business Cards! And I'm super proud of them! I designed it by hand and then added the QR code (THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!) and they aren't professional or touched up too much ,but I love them and they are perfect for the blog. Ugh, Shout out Microsoft word. It's actually  pretty neat all that went into making these look the way they do. Ask me about it if you're curious. c: Because writing out the process sounds way harder than it should be >.< T.C. Y'all. ~Enjoy 

Go As slow as you need to or as fast as you want.

We get so fixated on becoming, sometimes we forget to just be. 

You don't have to share everything with your partner. You should be willing to if you feel you should or they ask you to, but if something comes up and you immediately think of a friend you want to talk about "that something" with, reach out to that friend. I feel like having good friendships are essential to having a good relationship. You can always tell your partner them later. 

You'd be amazed at how waving and smiling at someone can really spread joy. I know it sounds so cliche and it is, but things are cliche for a reason. Give it a shot. Wave and smile at one random person. And see how you feel. Watch out. It's contagious.

Potential. It exists, but also it doesn't? Because it's always just potential (which really isn't anything) until it's either wasted or realized... and either way, as soon as it becomes something or nothing... it ceases to exists. 

I wear pretty dresses because even if I'm having a bad day, at least I'm having a bad day in a pretty dress.

You don't have to do it, you just have to get it done. 

Fire knows their worth. They demand (fuel) to be appreciated for their time and presence.

They aren’t unreasonable. It’s quite literally the way the universe works. And their warmth, their light, their ability to burn hot bright when given everything we need and a safe environment to exist in and people to contribute to making a place better.

Even if just for a short time.

We could all learn a bit from fire.  

Know your worth. Know what you need to burn and glow and do so for the spaces in your life you want to make better with your contribution of you.

Fuel your fire. Or lay dormant until it’s dry. You do you.

Fire is selfish, and I respect them for it.
