I’ve had a blast today, I take back what I said about Qld drivers being crazy, it’s really more at shitty intersections or peak hour when everyone is insane - it has been such a cruisey drive, everyone so polite and generous, I know there is a large cohort of douchbag ute drivers but honestly I think the overall level of irritability is much higher in Melbourne.
Maybe it’s just the sun intoxicating me…
good shit
Had a really really moving conversation today with someone I really look up to and turns out to have some seriously deep hidden depths - the way he’s navigated trauma and loneliness with compassion and clarity has been nothing short of inspiring and I kind of feel like I have a tangible role model here. Hearing him gently pick out my insecurities, counter them with proof, and encouraging me to take that step towards the answer… Hearing someone else actually say I’ve got myself together and am so close to figuring out that passionate calling (?!) - someone who has no reason to exaggerate - has me feeling like some deep part of myself is reorganising.
I’m so not used to people saying I’m doing the right thing especially when I feel like I’m flailing. My body and mind are always primed for criticism and rejection. This is not smart or productive or kind! I want to change.
