i'm honoured, i am seen, i deserve all the beauty and goodness in my life rn.

it's a strange 180 from how life looked last week. i have let go of the past, i've viewed some uncomfortable truths (none that i didn't already know, just pulling them into view again), i felt the feels, i moved through exhaustion, i showed up each and every time and i gained something good from it all. life is working for me, and things seem to be charging full steam ahead. i made traditional lanterns for the lights parade at the weekend, i rested, i sat with my feels and stayed with my body, i went and learned more arts and pastels and had fun, tried macramé for the first time with success. then came across lucky and people i haven't seen in a while, and apparently i made mark's day! i love that he loves my smile and my presence uplifted him. i made soup again! i volunteered to do batik painting - and omg they loved my words and my mermaid idea and unbeknownst to me ran with them! my idea and words and lantern will be featured! i am excited and full of hope, and thinking arts and crafts is my next thing.
