Dear Ty

It's strange how some people walk into your life and then make a whole lot of difference.

I've been told to make a list of things I'm grateful for each day. Today I just want to name one, because he has touched not only my life but countless others and has inspired us to live our lives with an open heart and open mind. Thank you Tyler for the brief light you were able to shine on our world.

R.I.P.

New Year

I don't like holidays that are supposed to be milestones. Landmarks where most of us aren't ready. They put illusions of inadequacy and urgency into our minds.

Trying to find hope these days feels difficult.

I need to let go of the things and people that aren't good for me, or don't care about me.

The line between harmful and helpful acts are so subtle, yet the difference between the consequences is devastating.

Boundaries

People assume too much. Or are they so confident in themselves that they can't see they've crossed a line?

I think that most people choose to believe what they want to believe.

But the moment you've crossed that unforgivable line with me don't be surprised at my aloofness. Do not mistake my kindness for flirtation. I'm not interested in these games and I do not have the patience.

Worry

Been doing an online freestyle dance exchange where I take dance videos of myself and send it to friends in return for their dance freestyle responses. There's always this worried look on my face when I'm dancing these days. I'm still thinking too much. More feeling, more doing, please.

Optimism

A little bit of optimism can go a long way. Instead of focusing on the potential problems, it's always more effective to think about ways to make things successful. Focus on how to make your visions come true, don't dwell on how or why they may not.
