All in Personal

Hey thanks. The performers: Amy, TB, Maddie, Izzy, Garrett, Jannika, Fozzy, Peter. Thanks Dan for the space and support. Rosie for being the best. All the attendees and artists. Just incredible. The support. The show. The love. Look for more, January in Philly, February and April back in NYC!

I’ve been a big proponent of meditation recently, and it’s helped me quite a lot with understanding myself better and regulating my mentality. It’s not perfect and I have a lot more to learn and improve. But I’m really enjoying the work and I think everyone can do it and everyone can benefit.

Just sort of jotted down thoughts from the open mic, a mix of emotions and next steps. I loved what I created there, I want to continue to cultivate it, I need help with anything I listed, but regardless I’ll make it again and make it better.

Life hasn't been exactly sunshine and dandelions since January, but I've had an outstanding 2018 so far. Yet, somehow I've been thinking about how the uncomfortable moments are an important part of the growth. It's a stance of privilege, and it's only in a space that I can be safe and secure, but it's exactly that space of unknowing that I want to cultivate.

I try a second stretch of vegetarianism. It's mostly to try reducing my total environmental impact as well as lower a total lifetime consumption of meat. I explain my thought process, my execution, and how the practice has altered my regular diet.

If you're having a bad day [or days], a little tea can always help. I've had some struggles the last few months [early Nov- late Jan ish] and I wrote a bit about what steps I took to feel better. I hope it's helpful advice, if you feel like everything's been a little overwhelming.

My experiences introducing myself are part of a myriad of growth areas I've applied myself to over the last few years. It's gotten much better, but it also hasn't changed much at all. I provide some helpful guidelines I've used, and reflect on what the process has meant to me. 

It's a dark and scary world out there, friends. Sometimes I'd also rather just sit inside, wrapped in blankets. But we've got ourselves. We've got each other. It'll work out, but it's fine if it doesn't.
