hey, sunbutter cup.

so, they say when you turn 50 you start to give less of a fuck

just shy of T- 2 months for me, and i’m over here kinda struck by how it’s already happening

while on one hand, age + timelines can be admittedly kind of arbitrary…

on the other, i’m totally feeling on the full-body brink of some big transition

a quiet strength has seeded within, a gentle yet undeniable unshakeability grown at my core

a system-wide evolved embodiment that feels at once leaner + more full

and this lighter, slicker quality of giving less of a fuck about folks who don’t wanna fuck with me or worrying about why

as if i’m suddenly simply done suffering nonsense i’ve been suffering a longass time

not in a dramatic, finger-pointy kind of way –

i just find myself no longer hooked, much less triggered

no longer compelled to tolerate or participate in games + half measures for the ghost or glimmer of what once had been or could still be

done playing pattycake with people who can’t begin to wrap their mind (never mind their soul) around all i bring to relationship (whatever kind it might be… none are immune lol)

it’s not like i needlessly tolerated so much before. but accepting shitty behavior can definitely be an undesirable side effect of being a deeply understanding person

and i find myself doing it less

and i find it easier to not take it personally

i’m in this space of just noticing people being who they are

quicker to move on without making them wrong or getting roped into the need to be right*

and damn does it feel good

do i think this is just because i’m about to turn 50?

not a chance

the principles i practice + teach around intuition-driven decisionmaking, claiming joy like it’s your job, and trusting yourself at least as much as everyone else pave the way for evolution just like this

while you experience immediate results + impact when you do this work, you ALSO get a longevity payoff that builds over time, and never stops compounding

combine that with time-based milestones, and WOW. there’s really no stopping you now, is there?

may we pour one out together for all those fucks we no longer need to give…

that they may be now freely given to who all appreciates + attracts our gorgeous brand of light more

xxoo, cc

ps: in case it needs to be said… this isn’t about turning off feelings that are there. it’s about allowing yourself to let go of those you don’t want or need to be there
