give yourself space to grow. that seems really simple but it’s taken me a long time to realize what that really means. sometimes it means creating a space for yourself. sometimes it means moving out of one house and into another. sometimes it means detaching yourself from people in your life that are limiting your growth. sometimes it means taking a trip. sometimes it means making time for you and just you. but you need to give yourself space to become, to grow, to flourish.
i break myself down into four parts. my mind self, my heart self, my body self and my spirit self. it’s important to think about space in relation to each of those separately. sometimes we give our minds a break but our body needs space to relax and breathe. sometimes our hearts are full or breaking and we need to focus on giving that area room to grow. sometimes our spirits feel too tight and need some air.
so give yourself room, give yourself space. find out what part of you is hurting, what part of you needs to grow.

it gets dark so early these days and my apartment gets very little natural light so i keep walking around with this feeling like i’m running out of time even early in the day.
i think that’s what the month of november feels like: running out of light, running out of time.
