"CHA, CHA NOW Y'ALL!! REVERSE! REVERSE!"

I'm just going to stand here I guess....

My last article got me thinking about dancing- sorry. (SORRY, GEEZ I keep forgetting people keep telling me to stop saying sorry for everything. Why do I do that….?)

Anyways, I couldn’t have been the only person at any given school dance/wedding that had NO IDEA what I should be doing after I ended up facing the wrong way during the Cha Cha Slide, secretly panicked because I already felt like everyone was staring at me… “I’ll show you awkward”. 😂🤣

I was “cursed” with this damn mind that makes me think. NOT to be confused with OVER-thinking, ladies and gentlemen. Just good ‘ol fashioned analytical thinking. Just kidding, I just pay attention and have a hard time ignoring my gut if it doesn’t make sense. Then I just ask questions because: “NO QUESTION IS A STUPID QUESTION!” (“Stop asking so many questions.” “Because I SAID so.” “STOP asking WHY.” “That’s not for you to worry about.” “That’s for me to know and you to find out….”)

Anyways, I found myself doing some deep, internal thinking, followed by self-discovery, paired with questioning the meaning of life…. (kidding, I was walking to the library, but REFLECTION really is that SIMPLE) and I found myself smiling… to myself…. 🤗🌞

THEN I FOUND MYSELF SUDDENLY ANXIOUS A.F. that someone would see me smiling and think I was insane. 😅🫠🥵🤮😶 “But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think…”

Ok, in reality I ALMOST had a panic attack, lmao, but I reminded myself, once again, that self-doubt is an illusion, and WHO CARES if I am smiling anyway?! THAT is CRAZY, and since I am trying to keep up with societies expectations here- I NEED TO GET BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER mentally then too. (“Wait, that makes that guy look bad??…” “Then wha-”… lolz). After all, “it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.” So, what does that look like? Adopting a Growth Mindset, ‘duh’. To put it simply, it is getting rid of what no longer serves us. Intellectually- overcoming obstacles, learning from our past, implementing changes, and *GASP 🦄* gaining INSPERATION from others’ success. Keep in mind this can also be applied to your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS as well as something as simple as minimizing distractions….

Sh!t, it’s not cool to reference Kanye anymore?!? What about Highschool Dropout?…. College Dropout*. That's more like it. (Same team here, same team woot woot! 📣)😉

Damn ADHD, anyways.

*Takes deep breath of fresh air*

“Ahhh, there we go, they look PISSED over there again…. I almost got scared for a second.”

Society. 😁

What a beautiful time and place. Right?

I’M WRONG?!

You choose not to reply? (“We can do that????”…. “Sometimes?”…. )

I feel like I already “went ham” (lmao- do you get it?) on the idea behind SLOWING OURSELVES DOWN, but I can’t help but go against the grain again here…

I am ABSOLUTELY going to keep on smiling for one, and for two-

I am going to keep on asking questions. “Curiosity killed the cat you say?” Being the ‘crazy cat lady’ that I am- I PERSONALLY haven’t seen that…
