36 things that will change your life (i just turned 36, so this matters)
a midwest junk drawer of a listicle
do you have a junk drawer? i hope you do. it’s the midwest’s version of a loving place to hold all the things that don’t have a dignified, proper home…
this is my soul junk drawer. 36 things i know will change your life (i just turned 36 so this matters), and tell you everything about me, and maybe something about you:
you cannot touch the deep places of your own soul if you cannot touch yourself into god-like orgasm.
everything is working for you. always. at all times.
the day you stop being curious is the day you die. learn always. explore deeper. with life. with yourself. with your relationships.
surrendering is an art form, not a science. and it is really fucking beautiful when you create a space that can hold it.
drink tea daily. the plants will talk to you. heal you. and hold you.
remain soft enough for the world to penetrate you.
it’s okay and healthy to argue with Spirit. tell them how you feel. tell them why you’re pissed. tell them what you want. “sit down and shut up” isn’t valuable here or anywhere.
God isn’t a stern father judge figure who wishes a life void of pleasure. that shit makes no sense. God/dess lives inside of you. and everywhere else for that matter, too.
the biggest untapped spiritual aid lives in the flowers and the earth around us.
staying in victimhood will fuck you harder than anything else in your life (and i don’t mean the good kind of fuck).
you are the gift. that’s the whole point.
i love getting older. and as i do so, my cells are getting younger. learn the secrets to this and you’ll have found the fountain of youth.
astrology won’t answer your questions, but it will give you a map to find the answers on your own.
the most magical power on earth happens when the masculine + feminine come together in divine alchemy.
you are whoever you say you are.
all forms of spirituality and religion exist as different paths up the same mountain. for the love of everything holy, stop judging other people’s views and opinions.
if you can live a turned-on life, you’ll get everything you want.
if you can’t grasp a concept because you have no proof of it being real, that’s okay. all things become real when you decide them to be so. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” iykyk.
it’s really hard to be emotional and open and soft and psychic… be them anyways.
only you know what’s best for you.
detach from everything earthly to get everything earthly.
wear sexy bras/panties or nothing at all. (like both are great options)
money loves you more than you could ever imagine. it wants to work through you. move through you. be held by you. so be kind to it. love it back.
the best friends you’ll ever have want you to become more of yourself, not less.
every ending you experience is shutting a door to something you’ve outgrown. trust that spirit has you in good hands. trust better is coming.
feminine rage is powerful and should be exercised when it knocks on your door. if something pisses you off, that is the biggest signal that it is not aligning with your soul. do something about it.
discipline doesn’t work for me. but devotion? fuck yes.
the feminine needs to start flirting more. with her food. with her feet. with her focus. with her finances.
the best spiritual people have non-negotiable routines in their life. hahahah psych. have you met me? follow what feels alive. always.
a person who wholeheartedly loves themselves won’t stay jealous. i said what i said.
the best form of prayer happens in your body, to your body, and with your body.
a man that loves you is a man that will kneel before you in awe and honor.
if a woman should heal one thing, it is her relationship to other women. we are not competitors, we are part of the same woven collective. when one rises, we all rise. start celebrating those yonis around you.
saying “no” gets easier the more that you do it.
people will come and go from your life. they were all soulmates. there are more soulmates.
i don’t know if being wholeheartedly yourself at every turn makes you more successful yet, but i do know it makes you happier in the process.
sincerely,
my junk drawer.
love everything about this. Your writing feels so effortless!! (oh and happy birthday?? :) )
