So since coming up with this "word" idea I've thought a lot about my words. When I first asked myself what MY word was, I said 'breathe' and 'worthy' almost immediately. I knew the reasons why I chose each, and I spent next to no time thinking on it. Since- i've wondered several times if i should have put more thought into it. Over the last couple of months I've asked dozens of people what their word was. Some took a few minutes to think it over and then delivered their answer. Some took days. So far my mom has taken the longest to answer me, and after almost 6 weeks of my repeated random texts asking her what her word was, she finally came to me with her list of 16 possible words and the reasons why she thought of each and why she ultimately removed it from her list. She put a lot of thought into it, she took the question seriously, and then spent hours of self reflection contemplating her answer. We need to think about where we've been. And we need to think about where we want to be. I want this for each of you!
So, as I mentioned in my inital "what's your word?" introduction, I think that with time, and experiences, and life's triumphs and failures- the good the bad and the ugly- our words continue to evolve, just like us. I would hope that with time, and positive self talk, and with much love and understanding from others (which ultimately makes us(me) feel heard and not alone ((thats what we're doing here!!!!)) I will FEEL worthy, and I wont need that reminder anymore. But I'll need another I'm sure lol. Right now SLEEP is sounding pretty freaking good...
