I was talking to a friend last night and, after I shared how I was feeling, he smiled and said, āThanks for sharing. I can feel your energy, and I feel better for it.ā
With thatās said I thought Iād share a little of how Iām feeling right now. Not as a highlight reel, but because I genuinely believe positive moments create a positive ripple effect.
Last month, I was on a plane reflecting on life and I legitimately started crying. I just felt so happy. So grateful. Grateful for my life, the people in it, and the freedom that comes from following what lights me up.
When I look back on this year so far, I see so many beautiful moments. Singing with 100 people at my double denim piano party with
@tommcgovern27 . Time in Hawaii with
@jesseisrael . Watching
@veeshoney and
@bennemtin become such loving parents to little Violet. Surfing badly, learning piano slowly, painting messily, deepening friendships, and falling even more in love with speaking. Iāve focused more on my health and wellness, and prioritized creativity by writing a script with
@nicwolfy that I truly believe weāll one day see on TV. And after all of it, I get to come home to an open door that often welcomes
@kevinhekmat in to play piano.
But the real win isnāt any of those external things. Itās how I feel internally.
At the risk of sounding clichƩ:
I finally accept and love myself.
(Sorry to anyone who just vomited a little).
Iāve been doing a lot of personal work and after years Iām starting to feel a profound shift in how I operate.
The simplest way I can explain it is this: for most of my life, I chased. I was desperate to be chosen by friends, opportunities, and even girls.
But over time, Iāve realized something beautifully simple:
Iām enough.
I donāt need to chase. When Iām truly myself, and committed to what I care most about, life opens up in the most magical way.
I wasnāt sure whether to post this but if it makes you smile, or nudges you a little closer to your most authentic self, then maybe thatās reason enough. Let me know.
Because at the end of the day, weāre in this together.
Life is good.
Seb :)
