thinking over and over and over of that clip from a maya angelou talk about the importance of knowing one another's history. no matter how brutal no matter how bleak no matter how despairing no matter anything because the only way through it is to go all the way through it. and the only way to build anything with one another is by having gone all the way through it because otherwise there is no connection. whats a connection worth that's built on ignorance? sustained by ignorance? "only equals can make friends" she says. only equals.

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

#there are like... 3-5 blogs I also don't technically 'follow' but I do check in on regularly #they just post way too much on any given day. it's so much clutter. if I just pop in to their archive every once in awhile #and take a few seconds to scroll it's much less stressful and messy to/for me than having it flooding my dash #candle ramblings

People with experience, common sense, and more brain cells than me: When you don't have much experience or are using a new pattern, you should really follow the instructions perfectly! Little adjustments are fine but don't try to make big changes right off the bat! Get experience with the basics first!

A lot of times you don't realize how attainable the things you want can be because you are stuck in an environment that is not cohesive to those results. And that is not your fault. But it does not change the fact that the reality is exists. Placing yourself in the right environment will open you up to new opportunities and a new way of thinking. This should be your goal. Nothing you want is out of reach. But if you do not decide to make changes, nothing is going to change.

#the environment at my new job is so so so much better than at my last one #I'm still working on getting out of some old ways of thinking and feeling I had while there. even though I've been gone almost a month now #change takes time but it is so worthwhile #keep going #things to remember
