This year I've been making a point to face my fears. Most of them are small, but they are steps towards living a more free life. I'm not sky diving or going in any underwater caves anytime soon (or ever actually). I've been putting myself out there more and trying things I never thought I could do. And when I fail, it sucks. I'm not going to lie. But when I conquer I am seriously flying across the sky like Supergirl. And I gain experience and confidence in myself too. I feel proud of what I just accomplished. That is the best feeling and one to always strive for.   COURAGE OVER FEAR!

This is exactly what I needed to see this week. Be consistent and don't give up!

This is a fantastic quote from the late Walt Disney.  Even though he passed many years ago, his legacy still vibrantly lives in so many hearts. His words, art, and mind inspire me to do better and seek the impossible. It only seems impossible until it's done! And the only way is to get out of your head and begin doing.

Simple. True. Beauty is unique to each person. So...

Gorgeous in a purely non-physical, you-are-a-living-thing-with-consciousness kind of way. You have life. To be sure, beauty is not perfection. To be sure, it's NOT the most important quality either. But. Real beauty can offer relief, maybe even hope. Amidst the upsetting truths of the present and the looming darkness of the future, one beautiful person, or one beautiful expression may mean or change everything. Beautiful things don’t last long, but perhaps they can make a lasting impact. For some people beauty is an unhealthy addition to seeking out other person’s idea of perfection. For others it is a life dedicated to protecting beautiful, scared people, creatures, art, etc. and sharing it with others.

That's my baby rant for the day.

I need to tape this quote on every door in my apartment (well maybe just the front door and tape different motivational quotes on the other doors). Sometimes when I see someone's artwork I get inspired but also slightly less confident in myself as an artist. I would think to myself how much further that person is or how I couldn't imagine creating that. But we all experience things differently in life and what matters is that I keep trying and pushing forward. Their experiences influence their artwork like my experiences influence mine. But hey, it's all a process so I'm working on the confidence to put more of my art and writings out there!


Peace & <333

Sometimes we can't rely on ourselves all the time. Our accomplishments and self-motivation are also the results of others' support, encouragement, and love. Remember these people in your life, and do the same for them. Received this email from my mom today and it was exactly what I needed to hear:

Have a tender Tuesday. May you enjoy the present that today offers, with all your heart, soul and mind. Because dwelling in the past make us sad and dwelling in the future makes us anxious. Make new friends, help someone, smile, and you will make the world happier one person at the time. Be good and kind to yourself. Mom

Thanks Mom :) I love you too.

Sending love your way too, Kayla. You're a great bud:)

On the subject of enjoying the present, here a video of the song "Today" by The Smashing Pumpkins, performed by Ben Kweller. Today is always the greatest.

Until next time,
Ginny

So if I feel nervous or scared, maybe it's a sign that I'm on the right track. Woo! So reassuring. Things are going well in Peru. I'll write you back soon Kayla. Enjoy your summer, post-grad adventures. I have plans for myself over here :3

Everyday we have the chance to do something over or something new. Today is fresh! Work hard and conquer! That's a great way to start something new.

It's been nearly two weeks since I arrived in Peru. To say things have been quite different would be an understatement. All my family here have been such wonderful hosts, and living in another country is mind blowing. But time seems to move differently here. When I was at home, being in such a day to day routine, one week, even one month could just fly by. But here every day is a new experience, and I'm learning new things about myself outside my normal surroundings. I've been going all over the place too, to Spanish class and English class, in crowded combis, and up mountains. I've only wet my toes--two week of a three month stay--yet part of me misses home, thinks that this challenge I gave myself is too much. Finally I had some time today to sleep in, meditate, and do some yoga. It helped me center myself. I know this won't be easy. Last time I was in Peru I remember writing that part of taking a trip is feeling uncomfortable. But I don't want to isolate myself and my feelings of loneliness is an unfamiliar place; I want to connect with people. Hope I can keep mediating to calm myself, and take each adventure or struggle one breathe at a time.

Oh this quote is fitting. I just graduated from college on Saturday (yay!) and now I feel like I can spread my wings and fly. But I'll also start a career soon and do many new things. It's kind of scary actually. I've been a student for so long and worked jobs that didn't lead to careers. And starting something new can be quite challenging. But everyone starts somewhere. It can test every ounce of strength and determination I've got. Hopefully my passion and perseverance will shine through!

Almost There - The Princess and the Frog

I remember Daddy told me: “Fairytales can come true,

You gotta make 'em happen, it all depends on you."

So I work real hard each and every day,

Now things for sure are going my way.




This song. Perfect description of my life right now. As I get closer to graduation (MAY 11th!), I look at all the work remaining for all six of my classes. All are English type of classes too. So lots of writing, reading, research, projects, etc. Sometimes it feels overwhelming when I look at everything at once, but I just have to do one thing at a time. Then I have to find a job, plus move out of my apartment (and find a new one in a different city entirely). All within the fun month of May. This song just makes me feel better lately. Instant boost of motivation.

If there's a song or quote that gives you motivation (even from a Disney movie!) I'd love to hear about it.


Spreading good vibes and motivation your way~~~~~

Inspiration from a great writer of our time, Alan Moore.

 

Sometimes I get caught up in wondering the results of my actions. It's good to just accept what I cannot know. Instead I can focus on what I am doing now and enjoy it:)

 

Happy Tuesday,

This quote. Right now. If you ever feel guilty when playing games or browsing the web with the nagging thoughts of all the things you could be getting accomplished instead, then think of this quote. I'm learning how to manage my time better these days. It's ok to spend some time just chillin' like a villain, because after that you're more likely to be productive on the other things that need your attention. That's how it is for me at least. Gosh, I love chillin' though! Haha :-)


Oh! And by the way, I made that graphic today.  I'm building up my photoshop skills one image at a time.
