WE NEED EACH OTHER WE LOVE EACH OTHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i remember being 24 and constantly asking myself how i was going to create the life i want …….. literally never occurred to me to ask what kind of life i might be proud of. i love ur mind.
i just read a bell hooks interview where she spoke abt living with integrity, as a congruence between your feelings, words, and actions; reading ur words, i think this is absolutely a path toward ease and away from fear, committing to yourself, & to being yourself. because the cost of fear, the cost of denying yourself, is too high!!! i think this also gets to what we owe each other in terms of being reliable and allowing people to love you. anyways ily ily
also this year i built a more interconnected life by starting to bring bestie into my family, practicing vulnerability and honesty with my beautiful friends, and committing to my environmental justice work as a collaborative, relationships-first, expansive task
What have you done for another this year in support of building a more beautiful, interconnected, interdependent life? - I've continued tutoring students in math, understanding their academic struggles (esp. post Covid), and encouraging them to continue to pursue their studies/higher education.
Something I’ve done for another this year to continue to build a more interconnected/beautiful life is train the new community book distributor (my old job) at the book non profit where I worked. The giving library where I worked continues to be a great space for me even though I haven’t worked there for years. They were going through some transition so I took a couple weeks this summer to make sure the new hire felt comfortable and supported coming into the role. I love continuing to be connected to the non-profit, its the first place I went when I finished my finals, just to celebrate and see some friendly faces.
What a lovely thing to stumble upon this time of year. Hope you’re doing well!
