That is how I feel these days. I'm feeling so much better! No more stressful thoughts on my body, my work, my life in general basically. Just me and my happy bubble of energy.
I like to enjoy life. One of the ways that I do that is by food - when I tell you why something tastes good you want to eat it as well. Which also makes me very good at selling the freshly baked products in the shop!
I like to enjoy it through music and writing. Sometimes just when I'm alone, other times with people around me to share why we love it.
I like to enjoy life with friends. My group of friends and my family are the most generous, kind and amazing people! I'm so lucky that these people are around me on a daily basis, they stood with me through all times - tough and happy ones - and I'd do anything for them as well.
I've been on an eyeopening journey these last few months and I'm finally accepting myself for who I am. With all my flaws, with my sweet tooth, my temper, my laziness.
And it has been working it's charms for me. The moment I started to release my 'control' on the situation - read convulsively holding on to what I wanted but never seemed to get - things cáme to me rather then me asking for them.
All I did was accepting myself and everything around me for what it was. Accepting that you have to live in the moment because you don't know what will happen next. Accepting that it is ok not to know everything - we are here to learn anyways.
And also accepting that I don't fit in with the fast paced crowd. I need to take my time, I need to enjoy and observe the world around me and the people in it.
We live in a society were we have to do so many things. We need to be grown up by the time we leave school, we need to know what we want and we have to know how to get it, preferably yesterday.
Well, no longer for me. Thank you, but no. I'll follow my own path. It might take me a while and it might be scary because I have to figure out everything myself, but as long as I stay true to who I am there shouldn't be a problem with that.
So, on that note I share with you my mantra:
- Have the courage to be yourself, believe in your strength and be persistent in carrying out what you believe to be true -
Hope you liked it, here is something to brake the seriousness of it all
Love,
Anouk
