I found this in my archive after I saw Russ post about mumbling before you have lyrics for a song and it had reminded me of the time I made this video and then I realized I should post it. Then I also realized I did but it was archived: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGHmUrNRuoA/?igsh=NGl0bHJrZnh0d2tt This is the Russ video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSLLxf7CQm6/?igsh=MTB5YjYyNml4YWl3YQ== I find this vid to be kind of a beautiful storytelling of life in a sort of sense of life being a song! 🎵

I've always used Pinterest as a vision board.. Then when I first joined here I was getting to know myself more inward, so I decided to create different archive accounts to make post in order to motivate and plan out where I would like to see myself in the future.. Something about taking the time to craft the planning of your future 3-10 years from now without completely anchoring it feels wonderful. It has taught me immensely in appreciating who I am more by looking back on just how much I have grown.. It goes so deep in integrating who you are when you have strong foundation. I think I've struggled with understanding how I'd like to present myself because I wanna do so many things! I also wanna give a big shoutout to Asterisk Create because this program is truly such an amazing corner of the earth I've landed on. It has brought me so much motivation and discipline. I am loving and enjoying my time in getting to know everyone here and their individualities. It's such a beautiful community. Jordan has done such an amazing job along with everyone involved I give major props to! When I post, even if it's random inspo, scraps, moods, half-thoughts. I started seeing patterns in who I am. What I like. What I am drawn to. Who I'm becoming. It's like curating my soul in real time. Which is something we are constantly doing everyday so I have found that most of what held me back was simply and only my non-belief in myself and that is the only thing.. It's just silly but it's such a sweet relief.. I was also able to find so many people.. who share similar vibes to me or aesthetics during times I felt so alone in the world.. It has helped me find my balance in my spirituality and logical mind.. This community and platform is soooo beautifully translated in what I have personally been working on in myself.. That is why I felt so called to join Asterisk, and I am someone who would probably be known to be skeptical of this kind of learning because I have very strong discernment for myself so I only want to put myself in communities that go against the grain yet invites the stitching of unity because that is just who i am in my heart of hearts and I see each and every single person doing that and it's so overwhelming to witness the beauty not gonna lie..

“ya know when we were kids and we used to twist water bottles just to pop the cap off like a firework popper? It didn’t matter how high up it went or what it sounded like. The only thing that mattered was the satisfaction of the lid coming off bc it usually wouldn’t work on the first try for most. I’ve realized throughout life.. there’s gonna be a lot of pressure that builds up in our heads and fogs up our minds. I can’t help but know that the only point to it all is the satisfaction of getting the cap off.. even if I didn’t get the sound as perfect as I wanted. I still learned better for next time. who knows maybe I just needed more pressure on myself in order for the cap to have the perfect pop sound and height. the only truth to this post: honesty and love is the best so pop lock and drop it lmao.“ The post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBvOToDs0Z/?igsh=MXJzcmE2eGJ6dGY2bw==https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBvOToDs0Z/?igsh=MXJzcmE2eGJ6dGY2bw==

Back when I was going through a lot all I used to make a bunch of videos to motivate myself. I recently decided I could take that further and share them with more context to promote my podcast that’s based around healing! I’ll share those here as well in case it helps anyone else! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSBUyXujbpx/?igsh=czhsazNoMjd6d3Ns “There comes a point in healing where you stop trying to correct every heart and start guarding your own. The Bible says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23. Not everyone is meant to be convinced, some are meant to be observed. Jesus Himself let people choose their way; He spoke truth, then let character reveal itself. Discernment isn't judgment, it's wisdom. You watch the fruit (Matthew 7:16), honor what's good, and set boundaries where there is no honor for God or for yourself. Healing isn't about fixing people. It's about choosing peace, obedience, and alignment with the life God called you to protect. If you'd like to hear more Wits follow on Spotify”
