Hey guys,
Ahhhh July. So much happened in July.
There's a link to the playlist here. My standout's include Doja Cat's sophomore album (Alone and Ride are my faves), Shawn Mendes jumping on the KESI Remix, and Camila giving us Don't Go Yet.
July is a difficult one for me. Everything comes with it. It's cancer season mostly, and so my cancer sun and moon feel brutally attacked all day everyday. It's also just after my birthday so there's the natural ageing reflection. And, it's also the birthday month of someone I love dearly. There are highs and lows. Extreme ones.
In line with how I want to approach these for now, here are a few things I've loved this July 2021:
• Never Have I Ever Season 2
• Baby Driver
• Eat, Pray, Love
• Kiana Ledé and Kehlani's 'ur best friend' music video
• To Do Lists
Eat, Pray, Love is a funny one. I know I watched it years ago and I remember enjoying it, but it clearly didn't register. Maybe I was too young. Too dumb. Watching it a few days ago felt like watching it for the first time. It's funny how you discover things as and when you need. I remembered Bali, and that was it. However there's a whole Italy and India in there too. It's a beautiful depiction of the delicate human condition, mindfulness, patience, love, care, all of it. All those those things that anyone who knows me, knows I can sit and try wrap my mind around until I feel physically sick.
Never Have I Ever is pure vibes. It's so funny. It's such a heartwarming story of a young girl just trying to figure this life thing out. It's not overly dramatic as in no one dies, there's no unrealistic scheme, it's just a regular high school kid dealing with regular high school sh*t. I love it.
Kiana and Kehlani... I don't think I need to comment much. What. A. Mood. 10/10 storyline, visuals, and HEAT. Loveeee it and loveeee them.
Regular human shiii though– I've been making to do lists. I think they help. When I don't do them my days fall apart. I start with the day and limit it to 5/6 things. Too many overwhelm me. I give myself more time than I need to complete tasks and life's that little tidbit easier. I do get distracted at times, and fall behind still, I'm learning. That's another thing from Eat, Pray, Love. You gotta give yourself the patience, compassion and kindness you need. It's impossible otherwise.
And that's a wrap on this month. Oversharing ain't my thing– the energies on the interweb are weird. It's a balance between sharing (because it is caring) and giving away more than your spiritual boundaries can handle. Too many people take take take and don't deep they're leeching.
Love you,
Steph
