volume 0.3 | so, you're living your dream, eh?


you decided to quit your job
&the plan had not been to immediately jump into The Dream
cause you still needed to job a job
a few hours a week
cause really you quit
cause
whatanightmare!
so you did your duty and did some job hunting
cause you need something part-time
don't you?


deliver me my abundance in health
deliver me my health in body and mind


the bodybuddy/lifemate gets a job
&the job continues to suck him in through rounds and rounds and rounds
&rounds
of hoops
&now he's in
but the job
itself
is a rope on fire
lol

nevertheless
some freedom extended itself out to you
&with the momentum of excitement
a little fear
&lots of loathing
you're doing it
you're getting after The Dream
you got your machine
you set up your studio
you still need the mannequin
you question everything
&then you start to hurdle
hurdle after hurdle after hurdle after hurdle
[you simply cannot write about each and every single fucking hurdle any longer!]
until your neck
it gives out 
after a first-jaunt snorkeling
&while laid up
your issues begin to fester
you question everything
you've been too still for too long


deliver me my abundance in health &wealth
deliver me my health in body and mind
deliver me my wealth in money and time


&then something clicks
"i'm the problem"

"i'm the one holding myself back"
"i'm the one paying a self-induced penance for moving here ... literally ... to 'paradise'"
"i'm the one feeling guilty, somehow, for getting myself to this figurative place, here, now"
"i'm the one punishing myself for my ability to get everything that i want from this life"
"i'm the one who thinks that i am supposed to be making sure that i'm not making anyone feel bad about themselves &or their lives"
"i'm the one who doesn't believe in myself"
"i'm the one making myself small, STILL!"

"I'm The One!"

&so you jumped off your ass
and got back to work
cause dammit
you're free!
to do whatever the fuck you want with your days
with your time
toward the pursuit of becoming a fashion designer!!!

&yea
it feels silly as fuck

&so
you suppose
that you're here now
everything's ready
you're prepared for further interpersonal issues
you're ringing the bells like your life depends on it
you've realigned and readjusted to receive
everything's ready
for YOU
&you're ready for ephwhyell volume 0.3

Congratulations, you ruddy bitch. We're officially setting up camp to be revered and adored.
 


deliver me my abundance in health &wealth &influence
deliver me my health in body and mind
deliver me my wealth in money and time
deliver me my influence as a thinker and fashion designer



deliver me my abundance in health &wealth &influence




ephwhyell volume 0.3

i just wanna dance. THEN DANCE MOTHERFUCKER!


maybe i love it
lol






was feeling a little self-conscious about my mirror
[as a forty-year-old woman!]
cause these bitches online
with no other talent
than spending money
spend a lot of money
lol
&i've started a "fashion" page on socials
cause i want to
but i also understand the implications
of constantly bombarding people
with things to buy
*vomits*
but it has been my dream
my entire life
to design clothes
*weeps*
&so
my fashion perspective
is heavy on quality
mix&match
affordability
&emphasizing life-long style over temporary trends
&i am still in development as a designer of things wearable
&so
the page is more for my own development as a designer
as opposed to a commercial endeavor
*vomits*
i know what i'm aiming for
as far as a design aesthetic is concerned
but i have absolutely no clue as to how to get there
through actual, physical clothes!
*vomits*
&with my neck being the way that it is
[my mind playing over and over again
that i would somehow be "there already"
if my neck hadn't somehow "destroyed my life"
but even before that
my knee "destroyed my ballet career"
but i was never going to be a "ballerina"
nevertheless,]
i feel more and more inclined to dance
because dancing keeps me very limber &very strong
&what i need more than anything is to stay limber &strong
because my neck threatens my mobility
every
single
fucking
day
&so
i want to dance
because i must dance
because i love it
&so
as the bodybuddy/lifemate plans our budget for the second half of this year
with my dance demands in mind
i will work
at home
on all of the basics
&do all of the groundwork
here
until the budget has been responsibly extended
to include the monthly (or most-likely yearly) membership to some gym with studio space
or a studio studio
until then
[when new dance videos exist!]
i'll be starting from First
also
if you haven't noticed
my life has blown up
on purpose
&i am still trying to figure out what my day-to-day is going to look like
&i've been going through some serious shit
interpersonally
cause i have a lot of issues
with regards to my worth
&c.
&so
it is what it is.
so grateful for this mirror!!!
amirite?!
