Remember the days when ‘mechanic’ wearing suspenders would be leaning over a popped hood like- red rag in his back pocket- legit $3 trucker hat- gravel everywhere
“Didn’t have computers in em in my day.”
And I’d be like what a silly Luddite.
Fast forward.
WHY TF AM I TEXTING FROM A FRIDGE?!? I JUST WANT cube dice!
Let go
Easier said than done... Just relax. Just calm down. Just breathe. Ahh. The Fall air rustling through the trees. You can almost hear the hope if you can sit still and be quiet enough. I am these trees. My leaves might fall off or turn beautiful colors but I will still continue to grow.

Watch: Nicki Minaj reciting Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” is the most empowering video you’ll see today
I feel…I feel like this is needed today
Anyone else’s face raining?

*actually*
Hypothesis: when people use actually in a sentence they are being low key shitty right to your face. Oh. Ya. That's *actually* a good idea, PAM. But since Pam is not in our department, group, click, aka Pam lookie different than me, we usually just blanketedly dismiss her and all of her suggestions. Ugh. Why life so much like high school, y'all?

Can we be still and tap into our warriors within? Can we just chill and be cool for a second? Embrace the awkward silence? I am the awkward. I represent the uncool. I am that made up word and sentence fragment. I'm the quatement? (Was that a quesTION?!)
Heartbreak
Heartbreak? Yea. I know about it. Heartbreak is thinking it's Sunday and it's actually Saturday. Heartbreak is waiting another day for Chic-fil-a.
HUFFLEPUFF:
“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”
–Finn Butler (The Sea and the Stars)
YASSSS
When people compliment me…
Akkurate
You should love someone. Before that, love yourself so you know how it’s done.

You don't get a medal for surviving life. You get rewarded by death. The only absolute is that you will eventually perish. All of your insecurities will vanish into nothingness and you will only be remembered by the stock photos and the trite condolences. So what is your purpose? What is your passion? Don't wait a single day to say the things you want to say. To do the things you want to do. Because before you know it, your loved ones light will be snuffed out too soon. Or worse yet, yours will be extinguished. Today doesn't remember yesterday. And today isn't sure of what tomorrow will hold. So, spend today being your best. Doing your best. Reaching for what YOU want. Because no one else cares. No one else matters, until you start to care about what happens to YOU!
“I wish I had your guts.”
Why does this sentence piss me off? It shouldn’t, I guess. I should take this as a compliment. But, it grinds my gears, because all I think is I am just like YOU! I’m likely slower than you. In most capacities. So, what do you think is it about me that makes me so different than you? What gives me so much more guts than you? How do you rationalize it to yourself at night? So you can settle? and waste your days and nights on repeat? Do you say oh well she could do it because her dad....? She could do it because she’s got so and so? She doesn’t worry about money. Hm? Why doesn’t she worry about money? --Is it because The Universe is so plentiful and money comes to her all the time? And since she doesn’t resist the existence of it’s bounty, it comes to her all the time? Can it be that easy? Hm? Is it that easy? Nah. Let’s just fucking hate her.
Sunday Reflect
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. Going to sleep without dread feels great! Knowing that I have control of my destiny feels even better. Things are lining up for ol Lez Lemon! 🤗🦄
This is the SOML.
And my life is awesome. I don’t say this to flaunt how much better my life is than your’s. It’s just my PERSPECTIVE :) I prefer to view things are sunny side up. And that perspective makes my days better. Prime example:
I’m unloading my suitcase. I pull it out of the back hatch of my Kia Sorento and immediately ALL of the contents that were neatly packed and stowed securely in my suitcase belly flopped all over the driveway. I thought this was hilarious! What are the odds that my perfectly packed roly wheel suitcase would spill all it’s contents? hahaha! :) I laughed and said, “you gotta be sh*ttin’ me?!”. Scooped errthing up and hauled it inside.
Um. Has that ever happened to you? Did it ruin your day? And THAT is the power of perspective!

Be like the ocean. Breathtaking to look at, strong enough to not be destroyed, and gentle enough so others find comfort in your presence.

3 Tips to Boost Your Confidence
When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to lurk at every corner, you’ve probably heard the advice, “Be more confident!” But where does confidence come from, and how can you get more of it? Here are three easy tips to boost your confidence.
Tip #1: Try a quick fix. There are a few tips that can give you an immediate confidence boost in the short term. Picture your success when you’re beginning a difficult task. Something as simple as listening to music with deep bass can promote feelings of power. You can even strike a powerful pose or give yourself a pep talk.
Tip #2: Believe in your ability to improve. Do you think your abilities and talents are fixed at birth like your eye and hair color? Or that can they be developed - like a muscle? These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act when you’re faced with setbacks. With a fixed mindset, you may be more likely to give up - thinking that you’ve discovered something you’re not very good. But with a growth mindset, a challenge can be an opportunity to learn and grow. In fact, the connections in your brain get stronger and grow with study and practice.
Tip#3: Practice failure. Face it: you’re going to fail sometimes. Everyone does. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. They learn how to try different strategies, ask others for advice, and persevere.
So, think of a challenge you want to take on, realize it’s not going to be easy, accept that you’re going to make mistakes, and be kind to yourself when you do. Give yourself a pep talk, stand up, and go for it. The excitement you’ll feel knowing that, whatever the result, you’ll have gained better knowledge and understanding. This is confidence.
