I love words like brave, strong, undefeated, victorious, and tough. it's helpful to define yourself with a big, fearless word...you feel a bit more in control but much more capable.
They were declaring that you didn't have to follow the worlds rules, that you're to use your recklessness, and how to defeat fear. I understood then that we are trying to combat the major pressure and depression the youth of now are dealing with. I'm not apposed to that but I wonder if just the words make a difference or do you actually have to do something?
As of the 13th, I'll of been working at the library (MY DREAM JOB!!!!!) for one year. YES ONE YEAR. Its been the most fantastic year...truly. About a month ago, I started to intern there for a higher position. It involves more patron interaction/responsibility. Today, the 12th, is my first complete shift in that position.
In so many ways, I've been completely scared and completely confident. Scared that I'll forget everything I've learned and confident that I won't forget everything lolol but you get me. It's not easy to start anything new. My coworkers have been amazing -- encouraging me and telling me that I can do it. so I'm believing in that. Today I actually have to do what I've been dreaming of doing for so so so so long.
so I believe that words are important, but you have to do the scary thing behind that encouragement for it to count.
Yup, you're pretty amazing k (now go do something with that *hugs*)
ANY PLANS? XD XD
WHATS NEW IN YOUR LIFE
this one got me thinking... perhaps sometimes we use words as a shield to keep us from taking action. and yet words can be empowering enough to move us to take action... I guess there's a balance, hm?

This is actually AN EPIC post!!!
ReplyDeleteLibrarian... that sounds like a very interesting job!! Not completely peaceful, but hopefully not too 'strenuous'... ya know?!
Congratulations and thanks for the post!!! <33333
Congrats on the job! How exciting!! :D
ReplyDeleteI had to conquer (and still do... my sister pointed out my hands were shaking after I'd served a customer, because I get nervous easily) a lot of fear for the job I'm at now! I think it's important to have people who'll encourage you and help you push past the fear, and gain confidence for yourself. I wouldn't do half the things I do if it wasn't for the encouragement of others.
FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT 😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Words of affirmation is actually the love language I need, but sometimes I contradict myself because I have a hard time receiving those words, especially when my self esteem is low.
ReplyDeleteWorking at the library would be such a cool job! If I worked at a library I would want to help people find books and give them recommendations. :)
That's so exciting! Congratulations on one year and the higher position! Also yes, I agree with you so much. Words are super powerful, but only as they change us. Pretty sure I need to take that to heart, and do a few thing instead of just talking about them, whoops. XD
ReplyDeleteP.s Also, those photos are so pretty! I like how fog instantly makes everything seem magical. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this Julia!
ReplyDeleteLiterally need this so much right now... thank you, girl! It was a blessing! (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteRejoicing in Hope,
