Happy Hump Day Spring Babes

It's slowly getting warmer here in sunny LA, which naturally means that we're feeling a pep in our step! With that being said, I woke up extra early this morning, put my spring baby-doll on and demanded that I reach my potential in being my best self today.

Here's what I jotted:

Today, I demand you take your integrity back

Today, I demand you stand your ground with who you are

Today, I demand you not feel the need to explain your decisions and not feel condemned by others

Today, I demand to be my healthiest self, my happiest self







What do you demand of yourself? How do you challenge yourself to be the best version of who you are? Who do you want to be? What are you striving for today?


Here's a quote by one of my favorite author's that really resonated with me:

“Because if you base your self-worth on what everyone else thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation. Then you wind up chasing after something you have no control over, and should that something suddenly place its focus somewhere else, or change its mind and decide you’re no longer very interesting, you end up with a full-blown identity crisis.”

"And then I realized.. you weren't trying to make me love you, you were trying to make me love me."

Time and time again, I wonder how it is that two people in the same relationship have such different experiences of their time spent together. One completely invested, head over heels thinking he found the one, while the other isn't feeling the spark and is ready to end it. Wouldn't you think that if she wasn't feeling it, it would be apparent enough? How could he be head over heels for someone who's got one foot out the door? I've always understood that as individuals, we perceive experiences in our own way, but I've never come to terms with the idea that two people could have opposite experiences of the same relationship. Why did the break-up come as a shock to him? Why was he surprised that she just wanted to be friends? Was he completely oblivious to the the signs or was she giving him mixed signals that he couldn't make sense of? Is it something he should've caught onto weeks ago?-- when her every-day texts and calls turned into ever other-day texts and no calls? Was he supposed to end this when he felt things fizzling out? Was it too much to expect her to talk about what wasn't working between them before surprisingly ending things? But that's life, right? Two people perceive the same relationships differently, and two people dive into the same relationship from different sides of the game. We're all searching for different things.
