Whether it seems like good news or bad news, the truth is that it’s all temporary.
Whether this moment is wonderful, heavy, inspiring, confusing, filled with grief, filled with love… it is one fleeting moment in your life.
Being present allows you to soak up the glimmers of goodness that exist in the hard times.
Being present allows you to witness your emotions and really notice what they are telling you.
Being present allows you to collect as much information as possible about what went right (and what didn’t) to help you forge a smoother path forward.
It’s all temporary, it’s all useful, it all matters. You matter, and you’re worth the extra effort it takes to stay present because this is a key component to building a life that truly feels fulfilling to you 💖

Harvey knew that hope was essential to the gay liberation movement, and that our liberation was interconnected with the liberation of other minoritized communities. After winning his election he said, “it’s not my victory. It’s yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We’ve given them hope.”

Hope allows us to keep showing up for ourselves and our community because we believe in a future where our rights are respected; where we are respected.

Hope will not be silent because it refuses to let hate win.

With you - in celebrating, in mourning, in resisting, in reflecting, in hope - now and always. Happy Pride to the community I am so proud to be a part of 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Be like Donna and treat yo self 🧠✨💅🏻

And if you don’t know who Donna is, Parks and Rec probably isn’t a comfort show of yours. The next time you need a little boost, put on a series that is and laugh your way into a more relaxed mood. Laughing gives you a hit of those feel good neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine while the familiarity of a favorite show can signal safety and predictability to a stressed out mind that has caught a case of the Mondays. All of this works together to (as the name implies) comfort you! My top three comfort shows are , , and . What are yours?
