last night I was on the phone with a friend in her 50s
and I told her "I fucked up... I did this stupid thing.."
and she interrupted me with:
"Ashe you're supposed to fuck up and make mistakes, you're in your 30s. I'm sick of this california bullshit of always having to be perfect and healthy...you all become constipated. You're supposed to be making mistakes. You're supposed to be in the mess, learning to trust yourself. Give yourself grace. The world is in a destructive cycle, you have to be able to play."
& I needed to hear that. maybe someone else does too
