Oh, hello there.
Evelyn here!
I hope your Sunday has been as lovely as mine.
I'm currently sitting in the backyard, soaking up the sun while writing, working out and thinking.
I want this blog to be a place of #MindDump and mental reset for me. If you're not familiar with the concept of the #MindDump, I encourage you to check out my Instagram profile (@evelynlouuise) where I explain it in more detail.
Basically, I aspire for this blog to assist me in balancing out all the different aspects of my mind.
At any given time, I've got 9,001 thoughts and ideas swirling around my head. Between the pursuit of stand up comedy, writing multiple books, revamping my physical & mental health, being technically "homeless" or as I like to call it "professional couch surfing" (it's OK - I've got things situated), earning my first real acting gig AND preparing to resurrect my podcast (or start entirely anew?!), I've mastered the art of the chaos dance.
Somewhere along the line, or perhaps hiding inside of me all along, waiting to be nudged, poked and prodded, my inner animagus bloomed and immediately began operating at full throttle, pedal to EVERY metal, screaming "fuck the consequences" as she pranced about.
Now, I'm a smidge wiser. If 'being wise' is even a thing? I usually employ those #SocratesVibes. Those "all I know is I know nothing" feels. But sometimes I do feel pretty smart, not gonna lie.
Whenever I get a little cocky, the Universe ever-so-diligently knocks me down a peg.
I find myself starting again, rising from the ashes like a Phoenix who knows the drill all too well.
And that's okay. I've found power in the act of beginning again. I was born at 11:11, after all. My life is a cycle of constant birth, life, death and rebirth. No wonder I'm so spooky.
I love who I am, despite all of the things I'm working to actively change about myself. I know my heart and I know my pure intentions. Albeit dark and brooding at times, my soul wants the best for us all. I feel the pain of others and I feel the desperation of our people (ALL of our people - the human race) to be reconnected with nature and reconnected with ourselves.
We need love and understanding in order to evolve and become better. Happier. Healthier.
First, each of us must take the time and make the effort to truly get to know ourselves. Our desires. Our fears. Why we are the way we are.
Only then can we move forward.
Self-knowledge and self-discovery are crucial steps in world improvement that CANNOT be skipped.
Don't be afraid to be alone. You are a well of intuition, imagination, creativity and surprise. Practice bravery by diving deep into your own psyche. Learn to dance to the rhythm of your heart.
Together, we can make a difference, as long as we start with learning to better ourselves.
Love you all!
Evelyn
