  • Step into who you are

    I feel like a part of me is slipping away. I don’t use ASL nearly as much as I’d like. The deaf community here is essentially non-existent and the closest one is 1.5 hours away. My friends want to learn, but learning a new language takes time and commitment. I have thought about posting short videos of basic signs, and I want to post some videos of me talking and signing so I can become more natural at it. My roommate knows how to sign pretty fluently, but our schedules are often not aligned. Being on camera makes me nervous. I will have to push through so I can keep that part of me and make it stronger. I wanted to read and sign from a book, but that’s copyright infringement. Sooo I guess I’ll have to use my own stories and words. 🙃😬

    Here’s to nurturing yourself and stepping into who you truly are. Who cares what everyone else thinks?

  • “Gotta have the lows to appreciate the highs”

    A friend I met in college once said this to me. It pops in my head when I find myself in the lows. We wouldn’t truly be able to appreciate where we are in the good times, if we didn’t know what it meant to be on the opposite side. The work and journey it takes to get there makes it all much sweeter. In an instant gratification world, it’s hard to keep that sense of gratitude without constantly checking in with yourself.
