hi π dear
i took a few mondays off.
there's an entire video filmed, edited, and i think i will ultimately scrap. the weekly upload schedule has been helpful and fun to a degree, but i might change my mind again. and upload whenever from now on. because the truth is-
life is changing a lot. a lot a lot for me as of late.
a big part of that is accessing what does and doesn't serve me- gaining clarity in order to move with intention and create value with my time and energy. there is so much i want to say, and i wonder if i'm being cryptic by not explaining in length- but i'll start slowly, and maybe in a sequence of videos, things will piece together and the context will make a lot more sense.
show, not tell- right?
april has been a lush month where i took a lot of time to turn inward, and took what felt like huge courageous steps to face a lot of fears and points of resistance that's been pain points for years. such as facing my ego when it comes to my art and writer's block, facing my people pleaser when it comes to over-commiting and extending myself to near burnout repeatedly, and so on.
youtube has become my job and livelihood for so long now that it became hard to remember how it FELT to love doing it genuinely in the first place. and you could say the same sometimes for art, or for even very personal things like how i carry myself/interact with loved ones. it can get easy to become a version of yourself you think the world will love most. but the truth is you are born exactly as you're meant to be. the rest is just what you feel like doing with it.
and life was a whole lot harder than it had to be, because of my core belief that i must suffer to earn love and acceptance.
all really heavy stuff, right? damn.
i hope this little letter today could remind you that i am here! we are in this together, and i want to share my journey and these thoughts to comfort and inspire other souls who connect with me on these sentiments β£οΈ i hope to return soon and definitely, in each video, i prioritize showing up as authentically as possible :D

all my love,

Hello friend,
This is a vlog of some moments in my week, where i take very exciting steps to build my business and continue creating my dream life. All the while, very heartbroken, I see how blessed I am, how everything is able to happen because I am present with the pain, present with the joy, and I thank my family and my community for loving me and supporting me so that I become braver with each passing day.
So when I say I am happy, I mean I am happy with my life, to move forward, even if I wish I didnt lose something I loved dearly. You can focus on loss, on the gains, but I suggest you do both.
To put simply, how to be happy while heartbroken is basking in the small wins, the big wins, the simple pleasures, and connection. Connection with yourself, honoring your feelings, and connection with those you effortlessly have fun with.
I used to think having a problem-free life would mean happiness, but that is like asking for a painting with no story, an unwritten book without an author. Living happily to me is to dream, to work hard meaningfully, and to experience love in all forms. And there is no grief is there is no love.
It takes bravery to bear witness to your grief, and that lesson I learned slowly (but gratefully) when I lost my father to cancer.
Last week also marked two years since he left. My my, has so much changed in just these last couple of years. Maybe this very formative time is causing me to speak to you like I am a wise old lady, or maybe I just yearn to be more & more in touch with myself as I grow more comfortable with solitude and the very tough art of letting go.
i love you so much,
and i will share more of my progress, reflections (and fun moments!) soon.
Annabelle
