I’m more interested in talking about how we deal with this overwhelming feeling of not having it all figured out

I’ve found that one of the most incredibly difficult things for us to do as humans is be present. We’re either constantly reminiscing about the past or we’re overindulging in planning for the future. When in all reality, we’re only guaranteed the now. And even that’s arguable. Even when we convince ourselves to focus on “the now”, we often find ourselves pondering the “how”. How will I make this happen? How will I accomplish this? If I want to be married but I don’t even have a boyfriend/girlfriend – how? If I want kids someday but I don’t think I’ll ever be ready – how? If I want to finish school but I have to maintain a full time job & take care of family – HOW?! It’s like sensory overload when all of these thoughts creep into our minds. And once it starts, it’s painfully difficult to make it stop.

If you’re not sure, read some biographies, follow some of your favourite actors on social media and see what their lives are like. I personally found my spirit actor to be Amanda Brugel. We are both BIPOC women living in Toronto, moms of two boys, and happily married. I discovered her because she was a recurring actor on three of my favourite shows SIMUTANEOUSLY! I didn’t even know that was a thing. At that moment, it was like she allowed me to dream a little bigger.

You can do whatever it is you feel like whenever you want and in the long run, it won’t matter

The structures in society make sense. I mean, it makes sense how those structures evolved over time. But at some point I think we lost touch of what it is to be human, purely in the pursuit of practicality, techonoligcal advancement, logistics, industry, business, and worst of all; efficiency. We sacrifice so much of ourselves and the planets resources solely in the name of efficiency. Everything has to happen fast, everything has to be on demand, travel should be as short as possible, so you can get from one place to another to do the things you don’t really like faster and more efficiently. Mankind has gone completely crazy.
