10 minutes before work but I had to post.

“Community: when people come together to share their talents, resources, networks, and visions to help others because they love/believe in you and not ever expect anything in return… it’s very humbling and I’m grateful to be surrounded by such amazing individuals.”

I only have about 10 minutes to type this but I feel I must. Just realizing all this, I caught myself tearing up. Happy tears of course. But ya. It started with the tattoo where in the process I was having a mental argument with myself (part of me wanted a more geometric/tougher design until I realized “why am I trying to “prove” I’m tough. I need to accept my femininity and the power within that.” So I did and I’ve never felt so beautiful and powerful until now.

Then yesterday I co-hosted a swap which was AMAZING! I was surrounded by beautiful and talented and very loving womyn. And sharing stories and histories of the items they were giving up was humbling and very touching.

And lately, people have been extending their talents and resources to me. Something I’m not used to because I feel like I’ve been conditioned to rely on myself to prevent disappointment.

I know all of these have been there for me for the taking but I never extended myself out of fear. But I’m out here now and I LOVE it. I don’t exactly know how to handle it all because it’s all coming at me so fast. But I deserve this. Everyone deserves to feel this and I can’t wait to help provide that.

I’m truly blessed and honored to be in the company of amazing people.
