Main Character August

For the month of August, I am planning on romanticizing/main charactering every aspect of my daily life. Instead of letting imposter syndrome settle in, I'm going to wear the clothes I want, eat the things I want, fully immerse myself in my chores and homemaking. I am going to unplug from the machine that tells me what my life *should* look like. Instead, I'm going with what I want it to look like.  I've always dreamed of a Practical Magic, Outlander, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, Boxcar Children lifestyle. The aesthetic of those have always been my vibe, which I guess is really just cottagecore. I have always envisioned it where I am wearing neutral/jewel-toned linen and wool fabrics, carrying a handbasket instead of a purse, knitting all my own socks, gloves, shawls and hats.

Ditch the Fucking Clock and Other Ramblings

You ever get the feeling like you are completely lost and not living in a way that you are supposed to. That everything you know is truly a lie and that you’ve been sucked into a script that has zero logic? Just me? Because I’m seriously burning hard at this sensation.


I AM READY TO DITCH THE FUCKING CLOCK!!!!

They say there is a fine line between obsession and passion, but is it truly obsession when every bone in your body is screaming for a way out of a system? I’d like to say it isn’t just my current obsession with all things Outlander fueling this, but I’m sure it’s the foundation. I’ve always felt a little bit of wanderlust but more in the sense of time travel. I mean, if the Doctor showed up in the TARDIS I would probably run fast like Amy Pond.

As silly as it may seem the daily grind is beginning to wear on me. The constant hum of computers, flashing lights and sensory overload has me craving a more simple way of life. One where I live by the sun and the moon, make love to the ebb and flow of the lake, and enjoy the natural sweetness of life through honey, berries and flowers. While I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to achieve this and still manage to live a life that provides for my children, I am convinced that this one that is truly obtainable if we abandon our preconceived notions of what it means to be a human in this world.

I mean, there has to be more to this world than a job that keeps crazy hours, money and our near constant stress level that is hitting the freaking empire state building. We are not meant to live this way. We are not meant to have regrets about being with our families. We are not meant to go to a supermarket to buy our food. We are not meant to have an unlimited supply of everything.

We are meant to be happy. We are meant to be connected. We are meant to be free. We are meant to be loved. We are meant to be fluid. We are meant to enjoy food. We are meant to be free from restraints.

We are meant to LIVE.
