The only in and out I care about comes in the form of a beef patty, melted cheese on top, in between a burger bun with a side of animal fries from our favorite West-coast fast food chain. 🍔
Choosing things to go in lists makes me anxious. As an indecisive decisive person and serial list maker, it’s too hard for me to decide what stays and what goes.
I usually sit down on Jan 1st and go HAM on a goals list and then strategize around them. But given the state of the world, i feel at odds thinking about how to climb the ladder of my own personal agenda of success when so many don’t have the same privilege. Having the freedom I do makes me want to live. So I guess doing is in, overthinking is out, and more of the below is the move:
Elevating self-esteem. Sticking to decisions. Pole and contortion classes. Sick nail art. Phone calls with friends and fam. Home brunches. Pursuing paths to decolonization and liberation. Lots of rest. Reimaging life outside of capitalist constructs. Reading. Hugs. Trusting myself. Wearing more heels. Nurturing relationships. Laying on grass. Sunlight in eyes. No plans. Playing tourist. Ice-cream walks. Making playlists. Loving on my people. Live music. Simple good deeds. Body scans. Writing for fun. Solo martini dates. Punjabi cooking. Breathing. Staying shook.
And as a wise sister said to me as I was writing this: “It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be done.” — Jag.
Wishing you more life, too. 🩵
Many Ice Cream walks 2024!!!
Great start to 2024
