One foot in front of the other (100 words)

I started running last week and I love it.

The "new" apartment I moved into almost 6 months ago has a gym on the ground floor. When I moved in, I told myself I'd start using the facility as soon as I had time/energy/brain space to devote to the task; last week that finally happened.

I'm not running very far or very fast, but the half hour I spend on the treadmill is the quietest my brain ever gets and it makes me feel like I'm really, finally taking care of myself in a way that I need.

Actualizing (100 words)

The key difference between being someone who wants to do something and being someone who actually does it is actually doing it.

This sounds trite or derisive, but I promise it is not.

The simplicity belies how unreasonably hard it is to convince myself to do things that are good for me; I desperately want to be the kind of person who comes home from work and then spends an hour doing yoga and yet here I am doing absolutely none of it despite the fact that it would be so, so, so easy.

Good job, self. You’re doing great.

I am trying (100 words)

I am trying to embrace the gaping expanse of endless potential that lays in front of me.


I am trying to keep moving forward at all costs. I am trying new things and keeping what feels right. I am trying to establish healthy boundaries and routines.


I am trying to do right by the people I have been, and to honor the work I have done to get here. I am trying to hold space for the people I have yet to be.


I am trying to love myself as well as I possibly can, because I fucking deserve it.
