rain on me

this day. this amazing, amazing day. it capped off an incredible weekend - some of the most exciting drag racing I've seen in my life. moments of pure and utter bliss. I'm so happy to be part of something that I feel so genuinely good about.... something that makes me feel alive and excited and right. and to be accepted in a group of such good people is a gift for which I am so very, very grateful.

life knows what it's doing. I am a student who is definitely figuring things out. I've learned sooooo much, infinite amounts this past year or so, and the rewards are tremendous, they are tangible, they are enough to give you chills.

the level of contentment upon realizing that it is okay to set boundaries - and then setting them - is something I had never known was possible. sticking to those boundaries even though it would be easier to relent and relinquish genuineness in favor of artificial peace, it's strengthening in awesome ways.

trusting that you have all that you need somehow brings more into your life. by letting go of toxic relationships that I thought were mandatory, my heart has opened up so much, and little by little, without even realizing it was happening, I have found myself surrounded by true and genuine beings who bring light and laughter to my world.

I can't wait to see what comes next.

why was I so afraid before?
