This episode is the Gisela blues part 2, I wanted to make this a little series because I felt the first part was me being in my own head and this headspace where I was super deep in my thoughts and feelings about what has happened and the changes occurring in my life that I was not ready for. That no one ever talked to me about such as post-grad depression of some sort or even this idea of selfish/selfless in terms of staying behind with family or chasing your dreams. And in this episode, I am in a total different headspace than I was before, although still navigating post-grad this time it feels better to have accepted that one thing in my life was officially complete and over, and it is time to move on and close that chapter and get ready for the next one. Even when it feels super hard to let go. This doesn't mean I do not have my days where things hit harder than others. But I'm allowing myself to feel those feelings, crying about it, being sad, angry, all those emotions and then letting them pass by. Feeling and letting go. Throughout, the episode I emphasize a lot on letting go and growing and leaving people where they are at and I know how hard that is and can be but it is possible. Choosing yourself is one of the best things you can ever do. I know how fucking hard that is. Baby steps. Boundaries. Space. If you decide to paint on everyone else's canvas, now you have no more paint for you or your canvas. It is ok to choose you. And the people who really rock with you, will always be there especially when you choose you. Some of them will probably look at you and say 'finally.'

To episode 5, the Gisela blues part 2.

Cheers to choosing yourself. Pour into your own cup. Paint your picture.
