2021 Intentions

There have been so many drastic and sudden changes in my life recently: moving over 2,000 miles away from family and friends, coming into my Queerness, and the range of emotions that come with living in a global pandemic. To keep it completely real with you, this shit is overwhelming.

We are not okay and its okay to not be okay. But, there are tools I’m utilizing that are allowing me to become my best self. I am greater than my circumstances. I am powerful.

Here are my intentions for 2021:

1. Learn & Unlearn

   • My reality isn’t the only reality. Life is about exploration and learning. Be open to adopting new concepts.

2. Sitting With My Feelings

   • Toxic Positivity is real! Wellness isn’t about always being “happy.” As humans, we’re blessed with a range of emotions. I’m allowing myself to feel all my feelings. My feelings are valid. Everything, even feelings, are temporary.

3. Write On Paper

   • Jotting down my thoughts, no matter how messy or scary. I’m giving my IOS Notes App a break and getting back to pen and paper. I’m allowing myself to be raw and unedited.

4. Curiosity of Life After Death

   • The past year has been filled with death and illness. It’s scary to see how fragile our physical states are. I’m learning death isn’t scary and yields beauty. I have no intention of dying anytime soon, though that’s out of my control. I want to discover the complexities of our physical realm and metaphysical.

I hope you’ve discovered intentions to set for yourself. Be gentle and kind to yourself. Growth is both uncomfortable and necessary. You are stronger than you think.
