note to self: i’ll be there for you, always

written june 6, 2021. Photo by Kristine Cinate on Unsplash I have always looked for myself in other people. I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person. It's not healthy to live like this, but I did it anyway — burning through relationships and searching for something I couldn't quite name. It was never enough, not to be myself, but it was never enough to latch my identity to other people, either. I got close, several times — I thought I had reached the pinnacle of self discovery. I thought I had completed myself. But in the end, relying on other people to help build yourself is never a viable way to do things.

Not only is it good practice, but it will pretty much take away all dignity you previously had. Better to get that out of the way rather than later.

Oh, and if you're looking to make an adorable little girl giggle, pretend to be a frog. Loosen up your legs, and bend them in a squat, make your eyes big, and talk in a deep voice. It's guaranteed to get a few giggles, and it will definitely be worth it... even if your legs are sore afterwards.

(Comment if you want me to explain the backstory behind this.)

    And if you're the frog drama coach, don't do it in front of a room full of ten-year-old boys who also think you're off your rocker : )

    You make a cute frog, dear.

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
