Been sleeping a lot lately in order to recover from bronchitis + mono juggernaut, but a few things have been running through my head and I thought I’d make a running tally of inspirational thoughts:
Om Namah Shivaya. Greetings to that which I have the potential to become.
“Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.” ~Judy Garland
Smile! It actually tricks your brain into thinking you’re happy, and then you actually become happy! Reverse magic!
Maybe being sick isn’t the culmination of doing a lot of things wrong; maybe it’s a time of emotional detoxifcation and renewal and getting rid of things you don’t need anymore.
I haven’t allowed myself to be an artist in a long time, and now I’m going to do it! I’m going to sing and act and take pictures and paint pictures and see beauty everywhere and live in those moments that remind me of God.
A couple more that I forgot I’d written down, sadly I didn’t write down where I got them from:

Dharma is destiny without any hint of compulsion or force. It is the path of least resistance – it brings the greatest fulfilment and happiness. (Kind of like that wave thing I wrote about a few days ago)
All of this is adding up in my head and making me feel like I am finally getting to meet the adult me that’s been growing behind the scenes. I think a few months ago I felt like I was stuck in a waiting period and I wasn’t sure what was coming next, but now I’m realizing that I was just waiting at the starting line, and now I’ve taken off
