Connect with Me

Look at me

Tell me what you see

Don’t tell me beauty

What do you see beyond my surface

Can you ride the waves of my vibrations

Don’t get nervous

Are you capable of flowing through my mind

Is your mental tall enough to ride this ride

Can you spare more than just your time

What about your mind

Mind over matter but does my mind really matter

The calm after the tide

Connect with me.

Choose Yourself

Growing up and becoming an adult means you have to start making decisions that will benefit you in the end. It means that sometimes you will have to tell people no or distance yourself from them. It means that if it isn’t bringing positivity and good energy in your life, then it basically serves no purpose.

Life is too short to just keep people around because you have history with them, that’s not enough. If something or someone is bringing you more stress than happiness, then maybe it’s time to weigh out the pros and cons and act accordingly.

You shouldn’t feel like you’re begging someone to do right by you or even reciprocate what you give them. I understand that not everyone thinks the same or knows how to give you what you need, but You have the choice to say that it’s not good enough. I’ll let you move how you move without me. It’s that simple. Don’t get me wrong, just because I can’t fuck with you it doesn’t mean I wish any ill-will towards you. We are just on different pages in life and at the end of the day, my peace is worth it.

It took a while for me to understand this because I’ve always been the person who has to fix other people’s problems, sacrificing my energy and mental space, but when I did, a lot of people thought I wow acting different. Fuck them. I chose me and am on a mission to find peace and happiness and make moves that will benefit me in the long run. I had to leave some people behind because what’s important to me isn’t their version of importance.

Do what’s best for you because at the end of the day you are all you have.

Speak it and You’ll See it

Dear Danielle,

There are times in life when things don’t happen when you need/want them to, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen at all. It is important to speak everything you want into existence. Claim that shit. If you don’t believe it, then why should anyone else?

You will have a house by 30 years old, a fiancé (everything I wanted), two children, an established blog, a few published children’s books, a career in writing, no less than 3 sources of income, at peace, and living comfortably. You will be on your way entering or completing a master’s program in professional writing. Your aura will continue to light up the room and bring positive energy into anyone and everyone’s day. You will be traveling to beautiful places all over the world. You will be healthy and glowing. You will be vegan. The life you want is only around the corner, but it’s time to really put in work.

There’s nothing you can’t have or do if you speak it and work for it!

Love,

Danielle (27)

Take Care

Often we tend to forget about ourselves in the midst of all of the crazy curve balls life throws at us, but we still need to find the time to recuperate and ground ourselves. Staying grounded is not letting the uncontrollable shit that happens in your life, decide how you’re going to live it. Learning how to contain the lemons in your life is the first part of taking care of yourself. Let’s explore the different ways of self-care to promote positivity and keep your energy leveled.

Self-care can be any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a pretty simple concept, it’s easier said than done and kind of hard to remember, but we have to take care of ourselves first. It’s okay to make yourself a priority.

When I think of self-care I think of doing an activity or focusing on something fun and positive in order to make sure you’re coping with the not so fun moments that happen in your life. It is important to find that balance between what you can and can’t control so life doesn’t get the best of you or make you feel like you don’t have it together. Self-care helps you feel damn good about yourself and help you push through the tough shit.

Personally, I struggle with anxiety and moderate to severe depression so I require a lot of self-care. For my health, I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, drink a lot of water, and stay active (gym, walking, yoga, or swimming). For my emotional and mental well-being, I go to therapy 2-3x a month to develop coping skills for my mental illnesses I previously mentioned. I do a lot of other things for self-care including getting my nails, feet, and hair done, face masks, watching my favorite movie, shopping for sneakers, painting, writing, coloring, reading, eating, going out with friends, listening to music, and even sleeping.

Self-care isn’t limited because everyone has their different ways of dealing with things and taking care of themselves. You just have to figure out what works for you and makes you happy.

Once you figure out what brings out that smile and glow, do that. Be committed your happiness and peace by focusing on self-care. Always choose YOU. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I Want a Fresh Start

Sometimes I’d rather just move away and start completely over like I could just hit reset on certain areas of my life. It feels like nothing is here for me and I always just want to get away from certain people and situations. Maybe if I was nowhere near them I would be happier. I just want to be free from anything and everything that isn’t for me or was never for me.

Love is Not Enough

It’s so easy to say you “love” someone but to say it and show it are two completely different things. One’s actions will always be louder than the words that come out of their mouth. Love is more than just a word you say. Love is being there for someone dear to your heart without them asking. It’s being able to tell them the hard truths that no one else has the balls to tell them. It’s reciprocity. It’s genuine. It brings you peace and makes you smile. You feel it whether they are right in front of you or a million miles away. It’s so strong and unbreakable that you feel it even when you’re not thinking about it. It brings a special kind of glow like how the moon glows on the water at night, at the beach. Love never leaves you when things get complicated. Love shouldn’t fill you with sadness and tears. It shouldn’t feel like deception. If it’s love then, you should feel the connection and not like you’re drifting in the wrong direction. Saying, “I love you” just simply isn’t enough.
