in my love apocalypse...


in my love apocalypse, i stop seeking fame or fortune
in my love apocalypse, i rest in faith and friends
in my love apocalypse, i don't measure my worth in tallies of the masses
in my love apocalypse, what counts is how alive my soul feels
in my love apocalypse, i let go of the energy of push push push
in my love apocalypse, there is truly no reason to rush (except, when there truly is)
in my love apocalypse, i stop giving myself away to dissociative experiences
in my love apocalypse, i embrace a self love that's fearless
in my love apocalypse, i nap way more often
in my love apocalypse, i take way more baths
in my love apocalypse, my business ins't about transactional winnings and losings
in my love apocalypse, it's run on straightforward, relational negotiation
in my love apocalypse, i'm brave enough to make art
in my love apocalypse, i do it for the joy
in my love apocalypse, i let my fear and fragility show
in my love apocalypse, i trust that the truth is: i really know what's best for me
in my love apocalypse, we all learn how to suffer better
in my love apocalypse, we all learn how to dance freer
in my love apocalypse, there's less heavy lifting
in my love apocalypse, there's more trusting the mess
in my love apocalypse, i unwind the notion of scarcity
in my love apocalypse, spontaneity runs the show
in my love apocalypse, we breathe in some sanity, and deactivate our drones
in my love apocalypse, there's nowhere to get, nothing to be
in my love apocalypse, everything is truly, truly the way it's meant to be
in my love apocalypse, there's a new idea of holiness--one that lives inside us all--tap tap tap--we wait no longer
in my love apocalypse, we learn to stay longer
in my love apocalypse, my teachers are children, who haven't yet learned the rules
in my love apocalypse, my teachers are elders, who've unleashed themselves from shoulds
in my love apocalypse, we are together and we know it, more than we ever thought we could
in my love apocalypse, there's time to grieve the losses and dive all the way into what's good
in my love apocalypse, we put down the guns we've held to our heads--the shame, the blame, the hate, the pressure
in my love apocalypse, kindness is a worthy measure
in my love apocalypse, we don't need reminders to breathe
in my love apocalypse, there are places we can just be

what about you, friend? let's pretend friday is the end of the world as we know it. when i think about that, i can't help but break a smile. what are you letting go of? what ways do you dare to begin anew, truly?

i, for one, will be changing my business model (for real this time), and quitting social media (i just can't do it AND feel like i'm not putting on a show. not now).
