This week I'm focused on discovering ways of becoming more free in who i am. Embracing your truest self can come with a lot of resistance.... fear of what others will think, stepping out of your comfort zone into the unknown and even your own self judgement. Specially your own self judgement.

This is a different type of post today. This is straight from my heart. I'm rethinking my platforms and who I am.... not want to be.... but releasing my inner truest self... its someone I already am, I just haven't allowed her to truly step into her light.

I worry about being too selfish. That being exactly who i am somehow hurts others because it doesn't fit their ideal of what they want me to be for them. That focusing on my personal goals and dreams is self centered. You can't be a truly "good" person if you can't put others before your own self.

But guess what I have done that... bought the t-shirt multiple times. And the reality is, its only set me further behind and those humans still come and go.

So it is really selfish?

Yes.

But is it wrong to be selfish with the truest intentions?

I'm starting to embrace that I am "selfish" in the definition that I'm starting to really put myself first. I am a kind hearted and loving human, but that doesn't mean I have to sacrifice my life to be a good person.

To sum it up:

I'm turning this platform into more of blog where my Patreons here will get to know me on a personal level. This is a safe space and I hope to hear more from my supporters here. Privately in messages or in the comments below.

I will be opening a new platform for my more "risque" work. Which I've truly come to love and enjoy. And want to share it.

'But I want a space to also share my more intimate, personal thoughts.

Question of the week:

Is it okay to be selfish?
