Make Your Damn Bed

The world hardened me through experiences, and time and time again I would work to soften myself back up. Eventually, I established a ratio of softness and armor, of love and fear, of precaution and fearlessness. It’s not always foolproof. I am a mosaic of my past selves, and you are too. What does your mosaic look like?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I am starting to believe they want us all to turn into robots. Last time I checked robots we’re free of cellulite, body hair, farts, and emotions. But robots also don’t get to experience. They don’t get to create. They don’t get to love, or to feel, or to feel peace in a body that they’ve been taught to hate. Being a human being is fucking beautiful. What we have been taught as imperfections - are quite literally the most natural things in the world. Even if you have the only human body that has experienced it, that makes it a human trait. You humanize your own qualities by simply being human. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 A repeated thought becomes a belief. A belief becomes a feeling. Those feelings and beliefs create your reality.  The insecurities that we have about ourselves become a self fulfilling prophecy as they do end up working against us to validate your truth. When you notice people treating you in a way and you feel hesitant or want to justify their behavior or whatever it may be stopping yourself and saying actually what if they do care what if I am worthy of love what if what if in a positive way instead of allowing your negative subconscious beliefs to hurt you continuously. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

It’s good to be aware of when we’re talking just to talk or if we’re talking out of a place of insecurity or if we’re talking because we really believe it will foster a sense of connection. None of those reasons are inherently bad but we also need to recognize that we really don’t have to work so hard. Sometimes a simple no thank you is plenty of explanation. Sometimes a deep dive into your why isn’t warranted, expected, or appreciated. You are allowed to be a mystery to people without having to worry about how they interpret that mystery. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

Unfortunately, we can’t have everyone we love be with us all the time forever, but we can ensure their legacies live on through our preservation of their memories. Ask questions, study the people you love, and let yourself enjoy the time you do have, with them. I doubt you will regret knowing too much about someone you love, so don’t be afraid to ask. You never know what magic you may uncover! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

I really don’t think there is such thing as closure unless you’re actually ready to close the door yourself. And some doors may never close fully, and thats okay too. Just make sure you’re not reopening them for selfish reasons when you do. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

Closure does not really exist, at least how we’ve been taught. It’s more of an internal process than an external one. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A lot of us are working very hard on our lives, on ourselves, and on our development. We don’t even realize how quickly we are growing and changing because from our perspective, it may seem slow and tedious. Growing pains are no joke and if you don’t allow yourself time to adjust to these changes, your body may insist upon it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

I encourage you to try to respect the fact that our bodies know what is best sometimes better than we do. Because I personally know that my inability to slow down by my own volition makes it difficult for me to respect my body when it is requesting a break, kindly. So on the days it feels like it is forcing me to stay in bed - instead of getting depressed and down on myself and having a pity party for not being able to function like everybody else - I listen.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

We cant control anyone else - thank god - but we can have an impact. Wouldn’t you rather impact people to believe in the things they enjoy rather than to feel shame around them? Let people be weirdos - and embrace that shit. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
