What is your first thought every morning?

Wow what a great sleep, I wish I could sleep some more. 

 

What is something you do solely for you?

Lately, something I do for myself is give into every hello kitty knick-knack.

 

What is something you dread?

In this moment, as I write this, laundry. It isn’t immediately accessible in my building, so I have to lug it the city way. 

 

What is something you are looking forward to?

 My newfound confidence. I’ve struggled with this my entire life, still am but I’m finally starting to feel like I am making progress. I’d say I’m a dreamer a lot but I am finally putting things into action, even if it’s baby steps. Shoutout therapy! 

 

 When do you feel most accomplished?

When I am doing things for me, first. Lately, doing things purely for my enjoyment has put a smile on my face. Solo traveling has done wonders. 

 

What is something you regret investing in financially?

I didn’t have much growing up, so I haven’t invested in too much to regret. My motto is money comes and goes. I wouldn’t consider myself a cheap or frivolous spender; I usually buy investment pieces, but I will say it’s been challenging to have to educate myself on finances. I have to do it all on my own, and I will. 

 

 What is something you regret investing in emotionally?

I regret giving so much emotional energy to others while simultaneously giving so little to myself. Your girl is finding her balance. 

 

 What are three things you think are absolutely worth the investment?

(financially, emotionally, or time/energy-wise)

  1. Yourself

  2. Loved ones

  3. The greater good

 

When do you feel most creative?

I feel my most creative when I’m around genuine love. 

 

How often do you compare yourself to others? When?

 

Shit, more than I’d like to admit sometimes. It’s usually when I am doubting myself. When that sneaky voice creeps in on me, but I’m learning to shun her. I’d like to believe that it is more so the things I admire about others that I likely have within myself but am afraid to unleash. 

 

What is one thing you’d like to thank your past self for?

Her bravery even when it didn’t look or feel like that. I’m so brave. 

 

What is one thing you believe about your future self?

 

I think my future self thinks I’m a total badass. And I also think my future self will be powerful. 

 

What is one thing you learned in childhood that you have now had to unlearn in adulthood?

 

Putting others before myself has been the biggest thing I’ve had to unlearn. I don’t think it’ll just completely stop as I get older because I genuinely do it because I want to, but I am learning that it does not have to be at my expense. Ever. Boundaries, man!

 

 Have you ever felt pure joy? When?

I usually feel the most joy around my family. I have amazing siblings who feel grounding to me. 

 

 What is something that would feel really good to get off your chest?

 

Do shit because YOU want to do it. Society has held such a standard that people think they need to live by, but I disagree. Not everything’s black and white. Embrace the grey even if it doesn’t make sense to everyone else. It is so broad, but I tried to generalize it because it applies to so much in life. 

 

 When do you feel most in your feminine energy?

Getting dressed for me. Wearing whatever I want. When you look good, you feel good!

 

 

What is one interaction that changed your life?

My last and only serious relationship. I was pretty young, but it scarred me and has completely changed me. Shook me to the core (so dramatic but for real). 

 

 What is something you want to give up?

Self doubt. 

 

What is something you want to take up?

Risks! Taking the leap. I’m enjoying that lately. I've been getting into some hobbies, and I’m excited about what life has to offer. 

 

What do you believe is a universal truth?

Everything does happen for a reason. And life is beautiful; it’s what you make it! 

 

BONUS: Tell me something good.

The Panama Canal is considered one of the man-made wonders of the world. Everyone should read up on it, it’s fascinating.
