(Previous paragraphs deleted...you will find them again ssoooommmeeedaayyyyy)
In other news I quit my babysitting job, which wasn't a tough decision to make. I do actually like the twins and thought they were way worth spending time with. But at this point in my life I needed to make the distinction of who I want to see myself as. A driven, successful adult or the part-time babysitter? There is no shame in child-care, but there is shame in not taking yourself seriously enough and settling for less, when there is so much more potential to be reached. SO much more.
This has been an exercise in psychological conditioning for me as well...hard to explain. I've been so used to taking whatever side jobs I could get and not really believing in my capabilities or my business. WHY? WHAT am I WAITING FOR? How many times have I proven to myself that virtually anything I want to do I can do? And why doesn't this register in my decision-making process?
To conclude, I've been making a giant push for the silhouettes and it truly is paying off. I had a day where I was just SO fed up with so many things that I had no choice but to sit down and consider my options and come up with some problem-solving moves. This memory stays with me still and guides the process by which I continue doing business.
When everything opened up and I realized that I can absolutely live by a theory no boundaries for myself it was immensely freeing. I know now that I am not stuck in a certain situation, that there is courage and opportunity enough to create a reality that I can feel uncompromised in and good about. There is the space to create my own boundaries, and the space to continue changing in whatever way is necessary.

Pretty heavy last paragraph though. Well writ.
