ahhh so good! there was so much that I was nodding to, so much that I connected with. "We agonize over finding our “path” and our “purpose”. We overanalyze ourselves and our lives under a microscope, measuring our worth based on ridiculously high standards that we wouldn’t even place upon our friends or loved ones." - I was literally talking to Emmie last week about possibly going back to teaching (and despite her encouragement) I'm sitting here today wondering, what was I thinking? My mind likes to place all these roadblocks and then I'm back to stasis.

I love this so much, Chiara!! Especially this - “Life really happens one decision at a time, pulling you along a trajectory that the mind cannot decipher through logic alone. You don’t have to have a grand plan. It only ever is the next step in front of you, no matter how small or insignificant or nonsensical it may seem.” 💛💛

Every single thing about this. Chiara!!!!! I just made a timeline jump as well - left my partner, moved out on my own, having housemates for the first time in 4 years - and I resonated with every single word you said. Before I blew up my life I literally turned to my former partner and said, “I shouldn’t take life so seriously, right?”. Love you ♥️ we’re in this together.

Chiara, I relate to everything you wrote about. Timeline jumping skepticism to be then be proved wrong, same. Breaking the Human Design rules to follow something only you can know, I say hell yes! Stopping romanticising huge emotional crisis and the eternal suffering to open up for what Life actually wants for you that has much less pain and much more joy, hell yes again. Plus everything on your short list. I'm enjoying the vibes... YES, YES, YES.

Hahahah omg thanks girl! And yesss the romanticization of suffering 😭 such a killer. Obviously always a place for feelings and emotional lows, but then differentiating that from wallowing in it mentally… so wild.

I fucking love this!! I love everything you write haha fan girl but this feels so light, like opening the window and letting so much freshness in. So happy to hear about the job and as you said it’s not about the job but about you getting out there and yay I’m so here for it! Feel like you’ve got soooo much magic to share, and you being more out in the world is amazing. I’d love you to be my barista! Really enjoy reading you work Chiara ♥️ thank you for all you share

Omggggg thank you Clare 😭 means so much! Honestly the last few years have been so heavy, and I know things don’t change overnight - but I do feel this openness to life again, and it’s wild as soon as energetically I was open - life started pulling more things towards me. If you ever come back to New Mexico, ofc I will be your barista 😂 likewise if I’m ever in Batemans bay I would LOVE to visit the studio
