They would think she was....
Tumblr media
If she let herself be who she really was then they would all think she was absolutely mad.
She loved music and loved even more to move to it. It was a struggle though as she could not move in synchrony with the music- she was all out of whack. She would close her eyes to try and ‘tap in’ but then she would stumble and have to stop. Sometimes though if she closed her eyes and really went deep within she never stumbled and she felt a flow of some great soothing empowering energy take her over. Then she could move and become the music…as it became her.
However that happened very rarely. She was always too zipped up. She would never do it if anyone was there.
She did once. She trusted her companions and everyone was having fun, pretending that the rug was a dance floor, in that big old student house in Lancaster.  
She started to move.  She felt like she could. She felt safe to do so. 
They laughed at her.  They were ashamed at doing so. They didn’t mean to humiliate her. They were her friends. She stopped and resolved never to let herself be seen in that way again.
That was over thirty years ago.
The friend that had guiltily laughed at her was now dead from cancer.
Everything can be so sad.
Did everyone feel this confusion, this detachment, this separateness, this darkness…
Was this just the human condition? Or were there some for whom the words confusion, detachment, separateness, darkness never existed?
What would that be like?
What Would that be like?!
What would she Do!?
She would probably not always wear a full face of makeup complete with primers, concealers, full coverage foundations and setting sprays.
She would let herself be seen as she truly was. 
She might not wear a bra! Outside, in public!
Actually probably best to always wear the bra.
She would open the front door without checking, improving and correcting her appearance first.
She would definitely eat whatever she felt like that day, instead of deliberating and calculating over how depressed she would feel after eating it. She would enjoy the olive oil poured on the warm salads. She wouldn't obsess over the ratio of pleasure to suffering with every mouthful. She wouldn’t feel the real dread at what the scales would reveal the next day. 
She wouldn't let a delicious meal ruin her day.
She would wear summer clothes in summer. The ones that were sleeveless. Maybe even shorts. She wouldn't wear her winter clothes in summer just because they covered over the evidence of her weakness around food. She wouldn't tell everyone that she was fine, not too hot at all.
She would eat bread.
She’d be open to people, she’d let them in. Instead of thinking that everyone was a potential source of hurt that would be wise to avoid. She'd stop being so selfish and self obsessed. She would smile at the world and not feel the  struggle and antagonism in it…at every breath.
She’d stop pressing the brakes all of the time ,on everything, in every area of her life.
It would be a sort of freedom.
She would be dizzy with it.
She would be like her dog, or cat. Just happy.

When you realize what you’re doing is not enough for someone anymore, is when you make the conscious decision to remove yourself from that environment.

"Mornings are a time to reflect, time to sit in the quiet with the birds chirping softly as they happily go about their business.. a cup of coffee, and whatever thoughts fill your mind. Be like the ocean and reflect the sunrise, fill yourself with beauty and life, and leave all of the ugliness behind.."
There are oceans of beauty in this world waiting for you - eUë

Watch "The Zombies - She's Not There" on YouTube

Hey y’all, I’m outta here!
It's been one hell of a year and goodness knows I need a break. There were incredibly wonderful ups and miserably fucked-up downs - as well as everything in between. Now is a good time to reflect on the year’s high- and lowlights, and it's fantastic to be able to get away and do so in a completely different environment. And of course, I am very much looking forward to seeing my friends in Munich and Vienna, as well as my former Austrian guest family, with whom I lived when I was 17. They live in the Wachau - the home of Riesling - and gosh do I have stories about my time there as a 17-year-old... 😂
Take good care of yourselves and I'll see you here when I get back from my trip... with lots of pics! 😘

📝 Reflection 📝
سبحان الله
How Allah has revealed to me through time (and wisdom He alone has bestowed upon me) that some of the people I used to admire and respect without question are actually deeply flawed individuals with questionable habits and questionable actions.
I'm so grateful to Allah for opening my eyes and my mind to see, clearly, the people in my life. I can't imagine where I would have ended up if I had remained biased and blind.
Sometimes it's the hardest task in the world to see the flaws of the people closest to your heart.
الحمد لله، الحمد لله، الحمد لله

I had an epiphany moment the other day. I was at school and feeling awful because I was feeling lonely and my hormones were making me feel sad for no reason. So I was on Wysa, which is an app with a penguin chatbot, and I was working with the penguin to reframe my thoughts.
After the activity, I immediately went ‘well that didn’t help at all.” Then it hit me.
So I’ve been challenging my thoughts recently and I asked myself, why was that my first response? The answer was I was expecting the situation (my messed up emotions) to change, but I realised the that wasn’t the point, it was all about perspective and how I view the situation. Because realistically there are always gonna be things that are out of your control
Now, I know people probably already know this and I have been told this many times so I thought I knew, but in that moment it just clicked.
So yeah idk just thought I would share LOL

Sometimes I remember the old me. And realize what she's been throught. She lost three close friends with just 16 years old. Most of her friends were addicts. She was so suicidal and going through so much grief and pain. She was with her abusive ex boyfriend. She spend so much time being on the streets. She never thought she would make it till 18. But somehow she survived all of this. I'm so proud of her.

I have a photo shoot scheduled for Friday afternoon. Normally, I love these and find great joy in looking forward to the time and attention. I imagine what the theme is and how the results might turn out. I typically pack and bring accessories the photographers like better than what they originally planned.
This time I have done nothing to prepare. I haven't even done my nails yet or touched up my roots. I have one lingerie set thrown aside and that's more because it is new and I haven't put it away than anything.
I still have a bit of time and am sure everything will work out okay but this really isn't my usual level of effort and I'm unsure how I feel about that.
Does happiness take away some of my drive? Does it make me too content? Is the extra stress of doing this during the holiday season taking up my energy so I have less focus?
I'll have to think on this. If it's not fun anymore then there's no reason to continue.
