Some introspection at 3am…
I went to the library today and on a whim, picked up a very pink book with a drawing of a woman doing yoga on the cover. Turns out it was a gem of a find, filled with thoughts and tips on how to live an inspired life where peace and passion coexist.

There is a direct connection between self-nurturing and self-respect.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how funny life is in how it unfolds and whips us into various positions of humility. Have you ever wanted something so badly that you thought you’d die if you didn’t get it… and then a time later, you get it and realize it carries side dishes you hadn’t been expecting? That if you had known, you would have thought a little harder about throwing your entire soul into obtaining it? I have.
I feel like this year I’m a little bit wiser than last year. And last year I was a little bit wiser than the year before that. This stillness inside of me came hard-earned - it’s like a child who doesn’t understand fearing the fall, until it happens and she realizes how much it can hurt. I feel you cannot truly appreciate the good, or even the mundane, until you’ve felt the crushing lows.. to think that you can is to exhibit blissful and blessed naivety. I’m so glad for the path I’ve come though, I have never felt so in tune with life as I feel right now. They say embrace the unexpected - I used to think this was a crunchy liberal fortune-cookie platitude, but now I see some wisdom in it. And I’m ready to roll with the punches. Are you?
Since I was five years old, I wished on a star every single night. Never for anything frivolous, and usually the same thing night after night. In fact, I can count on one hand the things I have asked the stars for in my lifetime. I think it’s time to lay that practice to rest - what we wish for usually isn’t what we think it is 
Bye bye, stars!!
