This is Me Typing: Part 6

hi person reading this. I hope this blog post finds you well.

I don’t know how long this rant is going to be. It could be the length of like two thumb scrolls for you or it could be like ten. I have no idea. Let’s find out together, shall we? Cool.

I guess the first thing I should do is wish you a happy new year.

It’s officially 2019. Time is rad.

I’m not sure if you’re able to pick up on my tone…

Thanks for clicking on this post. You’re magic. I don’t deserve you.

It feels like it’s been literal lifetimes since I last typed at you on this platform.

I published This is Me Typing: Part 4 back in June

wow so I basically ignored you for like an entire season

I’m trash lol

please forgive me

but also at the same time I’m not THAT mad…

So I’m working on actually looking up from my phone while performing #poetry things 🕺🏻 but forreal dude, making eye contact with crowds you’re shouting your feelings at is a frikin FEAT and a half😅especially when you’re already not the best at eye contact with individuals 😅let alone GROUPS OF THEM 😅 Luckily at @bowerypoetry everybody is literally nice as heck though so that factor helps the nerves chill out like a teensy tiny bit🙃 (at Bowery Poetry Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqcXPNHt1G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v2acd1qn64ry

I want to get this quote from #thelatheofheaven by #ursulakleguin tattooed on my face at some point in life so whenever I look in the mirror I’m reminded to not be a scared lil baby and also to keep doing all the things I’m passionate about despite my incessant fear of failure. Insecurity can make you do some really weird shit. Counterproductive shit. I’m working on calling myself out for my bullshittery 🕺🏻’Tis a difficult thing to do consistently. (For real though if you’re into trippy dystopian psychological science-fictiony literary mayhem, read this heckin book right this instant) Okay I’m done typing now, have a lovely #monday friends. Don’t be afraid of things today https://www.instagram.com/p/BphkjWHHuUV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uykhaf13g4th

“stream of consciousness writing is hard because I like to think my thoughts through before I think them into my hand this pen is pretty difficult to write with for me because the grippy part is so damn squishy and I like it too much also this ink is the fancy kind and I don’t feel like I deserve it I don’t think I deserve a lot of things I don’t like that about me I don’t know how to change it that’s what I need just some change and some consistency but I don’t know where to find those things I wonder if they’re hiding from me I wonder if I just can’t see something that’s right under my nose I know nothing”... ✍🏻💭 🕺🏻 Hi again from my ugly #notebook 😅 As you can see, sometimes there simply isn’t enough time for #punctuation before a thought disappears into the void 🤷🏼‍♀️ Next time you experience #writersblock maybe you should stop trying to make sense for a sec, and instead just mentally vomit some words onto paper until they speak for themselves 📝🤗 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bor5mLgD-L2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dhtnfca9kr8v

I’m gonna chat about the human who lives in this particular memory for a sec, okay? Say hiii to 17 year old me 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m not her biggest fan lol here is why: 1) She believes that frying her skin and bleaching her hair will make her happier. She is disappointed/confused when she continues to feel dark sometimes despite these efforts to resemble sunshine. 2) She spends most of her time posing for pics in front of the bay instead of swimming in it. She asks her loved ones to hold the camera for her more often than she asks them how their day was. 3) She’s got noooOoOoooo idea what’s about to go down over the next couple of years. She is feeling ambiguously anxious. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, smack her on the noggin really quick, and tell her to embrace the frikin moment that she’s currently experiencing. She will not receive another one just like it. • Isn’t it trippy how much we change and how much we don’t? Older me and younger me could learn a lot from each other. I am 23 now 🕺🏻It is #October 🕺🏻Time is weird 🕺🏻 #Summer2018 didn’t feel like summer to me. This is a sad recollection. I wore a bathing suit literally twice. Instead of spending #july4th with my family in #stoneharbor, I stayed alone in #newyork because I “needed to work.” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am working on finding balance in my life. I am working on appreciating time I’m blessed with to spend with people who matter the most to me. I am working on confidence. 🤔Maybe I will always be working on these things. Maybe that’s the point of life in general. We’ll never be the perfect versions of ourselves. All we can do is reflect and readjust the lens through which we look at our storylines... 📸✍🏻 (Hi if you’re still reading this rant rn... I want you to know that you’re my favorite and I hope you have a fantastic #sunday okay cool tata for now) (at Stone Harbor, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BopAiCNjNbN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kmto9hjkksc8

Happy #Monday to you, my friend!!! Are you planning on #reading something today? 📚 Are you actually going to? 🤔 I ask myself this question daily. Sometimes I make biiiiiig plans to cuddle with my #books and then I avoid them completely just because I can. 🕺🏻 There is no logic here. 🙃 This #quote from page 9 of #aclashofkings (the 2nd book of the #gameofthrones series) seems to be calling out my bullshit haaaaaaa ha😅 I started reading this at the beginning of 2018 ... which was a long time ago ... it’s officially #fall ... and now I’m on page 70. Oops. I got distracted by other books/life ya know??? 😩Excuses excuses, I am lé sorry. I will be better from henceforth. Perhaps. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZbhroDy3-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pzbpu4kszrwh

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven” - #johnmilton 🐥 (Greetings internet friends. It’s been a while since I’ve thrown a #doodle at you. This here is the first page of my #notebook from my junior year of college. As you can see, my brain was certainly feeling some type of way at that point. I’m thankful for how much I’ve changed since then. I’m also thankful for the ways I’ve stayed the same. #Creativity will always be a critical outlet for me - it holds me together, kinda like how this mac&cheese duct tape keeps these old pages in tact) 💛

Gooooood morning to you friend🌤 If you woke up today on the same side of the bed as I did, you should probably read this excerpt from an old article of mine from 2016: “Remembering How To Breathe Like A Human” (via #theodysseyonline 🙆🏼) You can find the rest of these words by clicking the link in my bio to my website. Heckin ya. Breathe today, fam. Breathe multiple times, slowly 🤗

💭“the degrees of serendipity - I’m right where I’m supposed to be - somebody please tell me to go to bed early - I want to grow out of this phase but I’m still picking - up all of the faded petals I tore off of myself and threw away ... “ ✍🏻 - These old #notes don’t have a home yet. I think they’re okay on their own for now 🙃 🕺🏻 (yooooo it’s #Saturday and ya best BELIEVEEEE I’ve got big plans tonight to cuddle with this here ugly #notebook of mine) 🙃🙆🏼🐥 #poetrycommunity lol hello friends

I really want to tell you that this #book changed my life, but tbh that would be a lie because one of the best things that @garyjohnbishop taught me with this bundle of words (called #unfuckyourself) is that I can’t expect an external source to change my life for me; only my own attitude can do that. 🕺🏻 It has been easy for me to feel frustrated by the fact that life’s current reality doesn’t match the idealistic picture I paint in my head. 🐥 This book helped me realize that I never feel satisfied because I keep comparing where I’m at with where I think I should be. 🧐 The word “should” is poisonous and skews perception. The only place I “should” be is here, trying my best to work with the resources I have at my disposal right this very moment. 🙆🏼 If you’re still reading this, my guess is that you’re probably experiencing feelings similar to mine. Hold yourself accountable, friend. You are right where you are supposed to be. Carry on today building toward where you want to be. You’ve got this 🤗
