Getting Girled

Things that feel good:

• Having that moment when you realize that you love yourself so hard regardless how many setbacks or failures or shit times you've been part of or gone through: that unmistakeable voice from within that's like "you're fucking cool...you just are - and there's no way or need to prove it. Just is." Boom.

• Recognizing your "tribe:" when you reflect on people in your life and the ones who always show up for you, have no excuses, let you down honestly, pick you up enthusiastically, recognize your dharma while seeking to fulfill their own.

• Music appreciation: when you are singing or listening to or referencing a song that is common to none yet heralded by few and finally acknowledged by someone other than yourself as masterful. Like you've just eaten a Mars bar or snorted cocaine kind of feels.

• Art appreciation: see above but replace "music" with any other relevant art. Art as drug.

• That feeling you get when you get Girled: when a person calls another person Girl as a sign of solidarity.
