An Open Letter To Those Moving Forward

When you close the door behind you in your new space, I want you to remember a few things:

1.     This is all yours, and there is so much beauty in that.

2.     Everyone loves a protagonist that rises to any occasion, rise.

3.     It’s okay to fall, just don’t stay down for too long.

4.     This is not a step backwards, rather a step sideways onto a new path.

5.     Here there is less: stuff, space, and negative energy.  Learn to live with less because happiness isn’t found in the extras.

6.     A charcuterie board in bed is self-care.  If someone at some point told you otherwise, they are wrong, not me.

7.     Carefully place items on the walls and within the shelves, each item is linked to the new you on this beautiful journey.

8.     It will be too quiet at times, learn to embrace the silence but also learn to fill it with music and laughter.

9.     Play more music and watch less TV in this space.  If the depth of you felt stunted in your last space, refuse that here.

10.  Don’t sacrifice within these walls; no shitty coffee, company, or sex.
