Ramblings of a crazy woman going sane...

I am posting this video for one reason and one reason only. Because I think we are all feeling a whole lot of two things: 

1. Crazy

2. Alone

NEITHER ARE TRUE. 

This is me working it out....literally. This is what talking yourself from crazy to sane may look like. 

When I started this all I wanted to do was cry, or eat, or drink wine at 2:00.

Today, I did what I knew I needed not what I wanted. I do not always have the strength to do that but I have learned that when I removed a lot of my own self-imposed rules it made it easier. (That's a post all of its own right there.)

A few takeaways from this one (these are my own takeaways from watching this video of me - also crazy - probably): 

• Comparison is the death of Creativity
• When we feel like moving least is when we need it most. 
• That video I mention from Elizabeth Gilbert is gold and you can see that here. 
• Breathe. That little tattoo on my arm has been so much life to me. 
• I realize, as I watch myself, that what I am calling boredom is actually a longing to be out and among people. It's called loneliness. And I know I'm not alone there either. We are not alone, but we are separated. 
• Cookies are not the devil. Crumbl Cookie why must you be so close and so delicious????!!!! 
• It's ok to feel how you feel - period. 
• It's ok to feel it fully.
• I'd like to say that I am wrong about many things in this video. One in particular is this...not EVERYTHING we see is fake. That was quite the sweeping generalization. But I do know we need to be on the lookout for fake and guard ourselves from it. We cannot hold ourselves to the measure of photoshop, and happy snippets placed perfectly on Instagram for public consumption to get us to buy something. I crave real. I seek real. When I see fake I flee. 

That is all.
