No Matter where you go,
No matter what you do,
You are always there,
You are still with you.
And so if you are going through stuff in life, just because you change locations or directions or any of the things, you can’t change you. I mean you can in a way, change beliefs or learn about boundaries or self love or how you want to be in the world. But those defining things that make you you are still always there. And the expectations of what you think is going to be is never quite like how it actually is.
I can tell I have a lot to learn from the people here in Mexico. Call it my trauma or what have you but I generally have a constant existential crisis about who I am? Why I am on this earth as me? What I am meant to do? Am I enough? Am I doing enough? Have I fulfilled my potential? What do I have to give? What does the future hold and all that jazz. And as I walk by the man who is lounging on his chair, every time I walk by, with his garage door to his…store?! half open, on his phone with the T.V. on in the background, I wonder does he constantly ask himself those questions? Or is he just doing what he is doing and that is what he is doing and that is enough?
Is just being alive and healthy and present enough?
I do realize my privilege to be doing what I am doing this winter. It is something I have always been curious about and wanted to do. So even if it is the only time (I hope not) I want to take it all in and learn what I can from the experience and not get down on myself because of my go to feeling of unworthiness. I am so fortunate to get to have this experience. And yes I journal and practice daily gratitudes and meditations and all the things all the gurus say are good to do!
Do you have these feelings? What are things you do that make you feel grounded and worthy?
I love hearing from you in my DM’s but don’t be shy to leave a message for everyone to see on the site!
I hope you sign up for the weekly emails too! They are one of the best and biggest ways to support this ongoing website art project I am up to!
Hope you are all well and staying warm, wherever you are!
Danke super mucho for being here!

Oh my god, that pic of the dead probable swordfish is grody to the max!🐟
That guy in the garage is amazing and yes we could all learn a lot from his life goals📱
I love your poem and the conceptual understanding of how we always take us with us🌌
I am very grateful to be here with you, in almost paradise, despite the fact that many of the world’s problems are as present here as anywhere, although as you say, there seems to be much more joy in the unknowingness expressed by them than most people back home🌅
aw yeah, I am so happy to be here with you too! Learning and loving and living! ooxxox
