This is me penning down random ideas…
Some days I am shy to take up space,
To dress too prettily.
Some days I want to be loud, cheerful and full of myself but I forget and choose to comport myself instead.
I know what you are thinking, “being loud is not a good thing” maybe, maybe not. I actually laugh out loud, throwing my head back and producing exciting cacophony of infectious glee.
Trust me, I am never satisfied when I choose to comport myself instead and laugh within the acceptable decibel of polite society.
At that moment, I remember that life is short.
Yet, I am not courageous enough to live each moment like it is my last
I remember thinking “Who am I saving all those nice outfit ideas for?”
“Why can’t my best life be now?”
What is so wrong with being your best self every day? Living with exuberance like you are the only one here? is there any prize to be won in living a quiet, peaceful, and uneventful life?
Take up space, be chaotic, make mistakes, be loud. You were not made to cower. I think shine was the theme when you had to come around.
Romanticize your life. Remember you are the star in your own movie. You deserve the celebrity.
I hope I take my own advice moving forward.
Xoxo,
D.
