a dream that i have been quietly whispering to myself since colombia girls trip last december.
a safe space that i have been relentlessly prioritizing for myself
the realization that i am responsible to keep myself safe, first and foremost
deep abiding friendships are the place where many women know lasting love ~bell hooks
curves and the love that blossoms between arches and angles.
listen when amygdala activation -
a sharp object signals a subtle threat to the nervous system.
curves are perceived softly, cortisol stays low, you are less triggered
the marriage between the two is what pays a therapist’s electricity bills
have you ever taken chai with vanilla extract?
vanilla extract smells wonderful, but tastes horrific on its own…
but mixed with sugar and flour and cream, it tastes just like it smells.Â
we need the support of others to reach our full potential ~ seen somewhere on instagram
understand somethings about self expression, creativity and non-linearity of time
but first take your iron supplements, we don’t want you fainting over here
although, no matter how many times we fall, we will pick each other up time and time again
let time be non-linear in the way i would love you the same today as i would love you tomorrow and next year and 10 years from now
my word of q2 is audacity - to show courage more often than i am used to
softness doesn’t cancel your fire.
when demons come, look inwards, rise, become Durga.
this time, you don’t abandon yourself
courage doesn’t mean you feel no fear.
but it means to show up, love something enough,
show up even when imposter syndrome wants to hold you back
love yourself enough to let it rise anyway
if you are looking for real love, you have chosen the hardest task of all
she took the blame like a vow,
maybe the first sin was never the bite,
read some instructions on having a soul.

p.s. 5 days to opening the doors to la casa de saheliya…
for 24 may launch, i will be opening the door to 50 chicas. at 99 every quarter. I close the doors after 50. spend 3 months building something together and reevaluate if the price should still be 99 or not.
