What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
I was filling up at a gas station and I noticed a little old man reading my bumper sticker….for some reason my memory goes straight to a leprechaun.
He smiled and walked over and said “Don’t lose your spark!”.
I was maybe twenty. And the sticker said…real big.. WORSHIP ME LIKE THE GODDESS I AM.
I haven’t thought of that moment in a long time. My hair was probably some unnatural color and I was most likely a mess. But that was a good bumper sticker. I don’t know that I’ve felt that type of free in 17 years. But that’s life, right?
I wish we were taught how to keep care of ourselves better, mentally….collectively. Life is hard and losing that spark makes everything that much harder.
We just need reminders that we can do hard things. I just need reminders that I can do hard things. Eventually I remember but that little bit of anxiety filled uncertainty, leading up to the remembering, is annoying.
What do you do to remind yourself that you are awesome?
