W:

How would you describe this chapter of your life, and what do you think that it's teaching you?

I would say I am in the Springtime of my life. - This is going to sound contradictory. I think it's teaching me to trust my instincts, and also slow down and investigate a lot of my snap judgments about myself and about other people, and situations.

I think it's teaching me to know how to notice the difference between intuition and flow versus, fear and anxiety.

W:

What prompted you to feel that you should slow down?

That's a good question. I think, moving here relatively recently of course came with a lot of changes. - It made me notice that I was in an eventful time of my life that I can tell I am going to look back on and reflect a lot about. I didn’t want to go through this time in a way that wasn’t mindful.

‍

I mean I'm a Capricorn, like I find goals and I just put my head down, and I'm like 'ok this is what I'm supposed to do.' It's been nice to slow down and kind of question that, and think 'what would it be like to move a little bit slower and not put pressure on myself to just rack up things that I’ve gotten done,' ya know.

...Within the past few weeks I've settled into this mindset of ‘I am never going to find the answer, and everyone is limitless, so why is the goal to define myself.’

W:

Right, once you get to the place, you’re just going to redefine yourself again.

Right! And that's kind of lame trying to live my life trying to like - well not lame, but people always say “find yourself,” but I am in everything, and everything is in me, and I feel like that is also the case about everyone. I am finding a lot more joy letting go of that and just letting life be this weird messy blob with no answers, ya know?
