Pre Weekend Reflection

This sunny summer is flying by. I'm sad to say goodbye to June. It could have stayed for 2 more months before becoming boring to me. Filled with many transitions including moving into a new place, a continuous flow of 14 + projects throughout the month, and 3 + new & completed designs, June was so jam packed, it was over before I had time to confirm the calendar. New opportunities and experiences yielding more options for employment and financial stability than ever, but more than financial security I am now questioning and pursuing dramatic interest in mental health and well-being.

I've been reassured many times in my beliefs and feelings, mostly by fellow individuals that I cross paths with who find the same peacefulness of mind from believing things that are relative to my beliefs. Most recently is an ever dwindling echo from one friend to the next, speaking of a shift in vibration and energy. The world is coming upon a time in which people are really questioning the value of money. If the world could value a different possession or even characteristic at such high power as money, the economy could potentially run on high vibrations and good nature. Maybe if as individuals we could learn to value more core characteristics in ourselves and others instead of focusing on material substance and workplace efficiency, we could open up a new sector of interest which could free humans to redirect their interests into more efficient directions suited to their characteristics and contribution. Instead of feeling obligated to work for what we need, we could contribute in exchange for what we have, removing the concept of money from the market 100%. I'd love to see money lose its value during my lifetime. I would love to be alive long enough to see independent human life being understood and appreciated in the place of the dollar., For the human mind to be given the time and value its never been given before so that all that we were put here to comprehend can be understood. I've been doing some contract work that has allowed me some extra time to think. One of the many things I love about figure modelling is that it allows me to get very caught up inside my mind and pick apart what ever needs attending up there. Sometimes my thoughts overwhelm me, as I imagine a world where people value each others attributions more than ever before. What a beautiful world it would be if people could work together to help each other to determine their own strengths and weaknesses. I feel so much time is wasted in isolation, where we sit aside from all else, convinced we are different and always will be. Perhaps this year will be my first, where I feel I've stepped into the light. I feel I've completely come out of that space of isolation, where I used to feel I was different from the world around me. I find a deep warmth and comfort in relativity, and the idea of knowing I'm not the only one facing life on a day to day basis. My past experiences allow me to look at people with a mind as broad as I could possibly make it.

Most commonly, what I wonder about others off the top of my head is " what is their experience?" "how do they see the world?" and "what are they feeling?". In a sense, I find these questions ground-breaking, as they are so much more valuable than any surface detail I could ever regard about a male or female. The summer sun seems to provide me with secrets I feel far from during the winter months. The summer season revives me and lifts me from a state of seasonal sadness. I can't remember ever doing as much soul searching in a one year time frame, but the knowledge that I've been compiling within that time has been priceless. I've been blessed and in-tune to meet individuals along the same journey as myself. They have provided me with reassurance and an understanding that I am very far from alone in this place. This is a time of absolute contentment and gratitude.
