Things I know to be true pt.2 (A love letter to myself)

 I have come to a place in my life where I have fallen into a pit that made me confront the harsh realization that I need some self love and self care. I have not been the main character in my life and I need to take the precautions to get back into the place where I can start feeling like myself again. The good news is, I have not been in this position for a long time; so it is easy to reverse. It should be pretty easy for me to be the center of attention in my own life (note: I want to be the center of attention in MY life, not everyone else's life). The problem is that I need to act fact to get me into the "self-love" mindset soon, this feeling could get very dark very soon. For the sake of the enemy not touching me this upcoming week, I need to think of the light and be with the light (the Lord). The enemy is not where the light is, and the Lord is not where the dark is. This week I have not been myself whatsoever. I have felt insecure, and became full of self-doubt. I want to be a woman who can think very highly of herself and that is almost ALWAYS sure of herself. As a start to that mentality-sift transition, here is another list of the things I know to be true. This is for you Soph, I love you 🤍

1) I love looking/ feeling pretty

2) I know the new puppy we got at home is driving me nuts, but he is the cutest thing and I still love him

3) Maggie is getting fat which i LOVE because she is just too cute and chubby. BUT that means she needs to go on more walks so that is good news for my physical and mental health (more hours soaking in the sun).

4) Pollen hasn't affected me at all so far. 

5) my dad's birthday is coming up and I'm so excited to celebrate him

6) My best friend's birthday is tomorrow and I can't wait to celebrate her and make her feel loved

7) I love a good fart that makes my stomach ache go away. 

8) I love taking showers (evening or morning, I'll take it any time) If I could shower twice a day, I would

9) I love it when class is let out early (so much so that it annoys me when we actually end class on time lol)

10) I love getting drinks with my parents

11) I love the opportunity to choreograph

12) I love finding a new song obsession (especially when I can listen to it at the gym and imagine myself choreographing it)

13) I love teachers that actually love their job

14) I love anyone that loves their job and are GOOD AT IT- it is so inspirational

15) i love people that give off very genuine energy (just really authentic)- those people are rare to come by

16) I love it when I drink more than 16 oz of water in one day

17) I love it when I like the hairstyle I have on

18) I love it when it's sunny outside

19) I love it when the coffee I ordered tastes really good

20) I love that the Lord is there for me anytime- what did I do to deserve that

21) I love a good yard sale 

22) I love it when Luka and I get along and love on each other 

23) I love eating a meal that is both really good tasting and healthy

24) i LOVEEEE going to the gym - it makes my body feel good 

25) I love my laugh, I love it when people make me genuinely laugh and I don't have to fake it 

That is pretty much all that i can think of from the top of my head. Take care of you Soph🤍

Things I know to be true

 Today is a rainy day and I am finding it especially hard to stay positive. As a counter-attack to negative thoughts, I have decided to make a list of things that make me happy in order to practice gratuity in the lows. 1) I love movies that remind me of my childhood ( The Holiday, Forrest Gump, About Time, Grown ups) 2) I love the way listening to movie scores make me feel.  3) I love it when the Lord speaks to me and when I feel His presence.  4) I love when I rant to my parents and they listen and give sound advice (which is all the time) 5) I love playing tennis with my family 6) I love playing games with my family. 7) I love watching my parents drink Mate on the front porch in the afternoon 8) I love watching my dad making my mom laugh 9) I love my dog Maggie, I love watching her sunbathe and get exited to get in the car with me 10) I love it when Luka my brother comes in my room and tells me the tea that goes on in his life.  11) I love getting a good parking s...

Day 46

On this beautiful Saturday morning I am currently sitting at a Starbucks about to go to work. My coffee tastes exactly as it should and I had a somewhat productive prayer in the car. I woke up at 6:30 because a bunch of guys were working on our roof. I made my bed, did my devotional, put makeup on, all by 8 a.m this morning, I also made myself a delicious coffee this morning so this second coffee feels almost unnecessary. However, it made my morning. Today I have work like every Saturday, (I quit my job so I am learning to love every moment until I leave). Then there is is this workshop for remnant teen talent, I am praying for my dancers. Then the cherry on top of the whole day is the Barbie party I will be attending tonight. I have been looking forward to this day since I was invited. Although I will look nothing like a barbie I am exited to wear my purple pants. I want to get into the habit of writing out all of the things that make me happy in avoidance of the heaviness I have been...

October

 Today I watched the first episode of the Chosen season 2 and I cried again. It is a blessing to view how good the lord was to people who felt like they didn't deserve it, and in my book none of us deserve it. But he does, because he loves. Yesterday I was coming home exhausted out of my mind and wanted to watch a movie, but I can't because I'm fasting. I respected the fast and watched the chosen, and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get a good night's rest, but I went to sleep EARLY, which isn't a common occurrence. That was a true blessing. I am writing this as a reminder for me to not fall into the temptation of watching movies, this is the important part. Keep fighting it. There is something coming. Soph West Side Story
