WOAH. It's the final week of my twenties!
Have you ever been on the verge of a big birthday and felt this deep sense of nostalgia and excitement???
Just ten years ago, I was in college, living in a summer house with women who would become some of my best friends and was about to live abroad for the first time ever in Spain...
I was surrounded by fun, adventure, love, and those months of 2012 truly marked one of the best summers of my life.
As I contemplate this coming summer, what matters most to me is EXPERIENCES in all its forms. Fun, adventurous, loving, peaceful, liberating, funny, and sometimes sad experiences (who else loves a good cry LOL).
Which is why the theme of my birthday and party is RAINBOWS. All the colors, flavors, and energies there are to experience. I even found a rainbow cake, rainbow party venue, rainbow hair salon, ALL THE RAINBOWS!
And with that rainbow energy comes a natural sense of duality, which, as a Gemini, is something that I'm very familiar with. Dark and light. Warm and cool.
It's funny right? The dimensions that we all carry around as human beings and the courage to decide what colors of ourselves we're gonna nurture.
For me, I'm walking into my thirties with a deep-rooted sense of who I am and who I am not. I am no longer the girl that will say yes to any invitation just to have something to do. But I am still that girl who will stay out all night for an epic reggaeton party (especially if they play early throwbacks lol).
I no longer put just anything in or on my body (bye Herbal Essence shampoo and cracked out food ingredient lists). But I 100% still buy and eat what brings me joy and pleasure cuz I ain't got no time for things like a bad salad! LOL
I no longer feel like money is evil or not meant for me. But I still love finding thrift store treasures and deals like a dress from Express for $15.
I no longer get into petty fights with people. But I will always stand up for myself when I feel called and be in sacred rage when I have to (like last week with Angelo's mom...when I've had enough, I let it be known).
I no longer try to fit into the career mold of working for someone else. But I will always be that girl who took pride in getting A's in school (gold star please)!
Same, same, but different as they say in Thailand LOL.
And all this to say is that what matters most to me, and what has probably always mattered most to me, is fun, adventure, freedom, deep peace, love in all its forms, and being myself.
What matters most to you? What sorts of experiences or projects is this summer for? If you're not quite sure, this video is for you.
