at work, in the hustle and bustle of things. vacation with friends to fully unplug is seriously the best. Missing hawaii rn 😭 // kimdone the universe is always dropping up clues. Ohhh if were to actually listen. Sometimes when we reach a higher level of consciousness, especially if we don’t peak to that level very often, we suddenly feel like we’ve had a breakthrough and it manifests as “look at me, I know so much. Listen to me.” • However, as we practice connecting with source and allowing more downloads to come through, we realize that true enlightenment is for our own healing and not for the benefit of our ego. There won’t be a need to have to prove ourselves to others. We’ll just simply be at peace and won’t care about how others perceive us. • Genuine enlightenment feels like freedom from all the b.s. resentment we’ve been holding on to. We are on our way ✨ the sun is out today and your girl is HAPPY 🤗💛 taking a moment to express gratitude for all the uncomfortable rock bottoms of life. For they humble us to come back to ourselves and pivot into who we are supposed to become. 🌿 sometimes the one quirky thing that’s odd about a person, ends up being our favorite thing about that person. Our minds will want to “perfect” them but our hearts have the power to override that with love and acceptance. We could also use this concept towards ourselves. I give myself grace. 🖤 dear Mother Nature, I thank you for having the ability to ground me and take away the anxieties of the commercialized world. You’re so beautiful, calming, and humbling. I don’t take you for granted💙 #surfers It’s a comfy place inside my mind 🤗☀️ too in the moment to be on my phone. Hawaii has been everything I dreamt it’d be. A whole bunch of chill and good company ☀️💯 being misunderstood shouldn’t be a reason to not do something or say something. at the end of the day people see in others only what they have seen in themselves. results vary. In light of being very down with ourselves, let’s talk about body image. There’s always some new trend, big butt, small butt, big boobs, small boobs. Body image f*cks with e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e I’ve been privileged with good genes and I’ve never been one to struggle with weight but there’s always that negative self talk that always has something negative to say about her body “Too skinny, too small, not womanly enough, too womanly, too anything.” and if that voice gets out control, idc how big or small you are it can trap you in your own mind. in 2019 it’s time to come to our senses and tell that voice to shut the hell up and let it be known that your essence is your power, your charisma and your vibe. Not how big or small your butt is. Cool. 🦄🌈💙✨ me in my lil studio apartment that I’m gonna miss soooo much 😭, I have other plans coming up that it’s time for change. 🌿 I grew so much, confronted myself, looked at reality in the eye. got weird asf all alone with no one to judge me. 😆🌀I surprised myself with what I’m able to do for myself and how I’ve learned more of who I am, what my style is, and most importantly - that I don’t need the approval of another to feel worthy. I feel more confident in my own skin more than ever before and that is the sweetest feeling. ✨ lately I’ve been nerding out on #humandesign (look it up 😉)and learning a whole lot about myself. as a projector, my strategy is to *wait for the invitation* which sounds very counter culture given that our society is about “getting it” and initiating. As I have put this to the test however, it’s taught me to love myself more, hone in on my gifts, and not hurt and solicit to be *seen* What’s mine is mine and I won’t have to be hurting for it. photography advice that changed the way I saw things: it’s not about the pictures I need more pictures of myself, I only have a few 😂 I like this one tho, it reminds me to not take life so serious. FUN and REST are also important !! ☀️☀️ It’s such a weird thing when I get told I got hired for a job because I was pretty. Happens more than I want to believe. At first I didn’t think it was a big deal. At least I got my foot in the door. The reality is different though, I’ve been treated very poorly because I’m only seen as something that looks good rather than a person that is competent and capable. Lately though I’ve been fine tuning who is choosing me because of my skills and not because I make them look good. The level of respect has been much different. // This also translates to my dating life which has also been interesting. // can any other girls relate? xoxo gently reminding myself that I am not for everyone. and it’s OK. It means I am doing it right. when people are being their authentic selves they will either attract or repel. When you know what to expect and what you’re getting from a person that’s where the money is. // it’s when things get too ambiguous that it starts getting tricky. 🙅‍♀️ no to ambiguity 🙅‍♀️ and yes to clarity and clear communication ⚡️
