An Ode to awkwardness

I started to create and post content on IG. It is cringe, it is uncomfortable, and I love it for exactly that. Just the fact of doing something that for a long time I have been putting off because it wasn’t the right time. And it needed a heartbreak and a phone call with a friend on the other side of the world to give me the reality slap, that the only thing there is, is time. When it is the right one id for you to decide.

No one will come and hand you a special invite or permission slip to finally go and do whatever you want. You gotta be that person for yourself. You gotta show up for yourself and be your biggest supporter — no matter what.

I live by the idea that if something doesn’t scare you, it won’t facilitate growth. I traveled around the world in the past three years, lived in ashrams and communities, shaved my head, flew to another continent for love, underwent a 3 months intensive hatha yoga course in India, lived in a car for 8 months, and the list goes on and on. All these things have one thing in common: They scared the nectar out of me and made me super highly uncomfortable at times. And I wouldn’t want to miss any of these experiences.

Because there is something in me that does not like it when my inner voice says: „I could never“. Yes you can. You don’t have to, but if you want to — Yes! You! Can!

So cheers to this new chapter of awkwardness and discomfort and insecurities which will only allow me to grow and learn so much on this journey ahead.
