None of the negative voices in my head sound like me. They all sound like the people I’ve been trying to avoid.

From now on, I reject the term “struggle meal” and hereby rename it “hustle meal.” I’ve been battling some depression lately and if I was really struggling, I wouldn’t have been able to whip this up. This is actually a feat of ingenuity. I had some breadsticks left over from the other night and can’t afford to waste food right now. So I looked in the fridge to see what else I had. There was one chicken sausage left and some spinach in the freezer. I chopped up part of an onion and a clove of garlic. Threw everything in a pan with some spices and put it on top of the breadsticks. And boom 💥 sausage and spinach pizza. It’s times like this where I really harness Daymon John’s “The Power of Being Broke” and use that mindset to get creative. This coupled with the endorphins from working out earlier has been the boost that I’ve needed 💪🏾🍕

I flipped a switch on the breaker today. I called my mom because I was scared lol. It worked and now I can use my microwave and toaster oven again 😊

I’m also very depressed today.

I filed my taxes in like 10 minutes and the only aggravation I experienced was having to flip back and forth to enter my banking info. Another small win 🙌🏾

Today I hit my boiling point which led me to:

•recalibrate my goals and intentions

•plainly state what I need and don’t need at the present moment (something I have historically not been great at doing)

•remember why I put myself in this situation in the first place (because I believe in myself and my abilities)

•consider the value that I’ve placed on others’ opinions and input of my work

In my fit of rage, I threw what was left of my biryani in a fit of rage, banged my tiny desk with a handheld vacuum cleaner (both surprisingly sturdy), blocked the person who insisted on pressing the buttons that I repeatedly told not to, and called a bestie to help me cool down.

I started this whole “show your work” thing to remind MYSELF of what I’ve been doing so that on the days that I don’t feel like I can do anything (or I actually just can’t), I can look back and see that I am still making progress and when I finally get to where I want to be, I can remember the path that got me there (and have content for my future memoir and biofilm). I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to prove to others that I’m doing SOMETHING. I don’t put most of what I do on here because that would feel like the same thing. But if I remember that I’ve done at least 1 thing each day, that’s enough for me. Today I’ve done 4 bullets AND showered. That’s a whole 5 things!

Go me! 😊

And shout out to my friend Ari for being exactly what I needed when I needed it. 🥰

I’m in the mood to move to LA.

Today was rough. But I made a wish on a shooting star and I made more money than I spent. Small wins are still wins ergo I am a winner 🏆🥇

Instead of sulking, do something productive 🤷🏾‍♀️

At what point does optimism become insanity? I feel like I’m dangerously close to that line between confidence and delusion Katt Williams was talking about 😬

[teriyakibri]

I can’t wait to get to the point where I can employ people so I can have the power to hire people with prior felonies.

[teriyakibri]

I’m really becoming the person I created the moment I said I wanted to be a festival nomad. I’m currently living my “in the trenches” moment, but I’m not discouraged. I don’t think I’ve ever allowed myself to fully fail before, I guess because I’ve never had anything worth gambling. I have nothing and everything to lose right now. This is wild.

[teriyakibri]

I’m sick and I’m supposed to be doing Lyft to make money 😩 the universe is giving me very mixed signals lol
