All I want in making hats is to make people feel beautiful and seen and like themselves. To have the opportunity to physically reflect your energy on this day was INCREDIBLEEEE
More soon 💛
Continue turning outwards, spending too much time inwards does not help the world. Feeling bad about urself is thinking about yourself too much. To be insecure is an ego problem. The ego feels small because it is too big. Your flaws aren’t that important!!! Focus on others focus on the work see how you can create beauty and inspire and laugh and grow. The mistakes don’t matter the weirdness doesn’t matter. To be vulnerable is to be humble, to connect is what’s important. To forget the self through deep love outwards is the goal, discipline and dedication and focusing outwards will naturally result in true self love and acceptance and growth. I’m working on internalizing ⭐️

I read Hellen Kellers book some years back and remember being so stunned by it, soo good and beautifully written I recommend. Today I came across Laura Bridgman, who lost her sight, hearing, smell, & taste at the age of 2. She is considered the first deadblind person to be educated and would go on to teach Anne Sullivan how to sign, who would go on to teach Hellen Keller. She seems amazing and I like her style she looks sick w her slickdown and Victorian dress and these amazing glasses. Apparently they used to tie green ribbons around their eyes. here’s ur inspo for the day (night)
Ugh look at these pics by @baohngo !!! I love this crazy snow being in a bad mood is a crime on a perfect day like this. All these hats are in new beautiful homes so things can’t be that bad ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m still in my hat spiral thinking the next one will fix it let me make another I feel like I’m close I’ve almost caught the rhythm again whoopsie daisy yoohoooo
Tomorrow will be 6 year anniversary of meeting @pauljamesread and immediately being glued to him and I’m literally going to marry him and I love him so much I cry on him and we laugh and I pull his hair and drink his coffee he is my perfect person and all I want to do is figure out how to be best for him. He’s really patient and he loves me a lot . 1000 kisses for Paul 🩷🩷🩷
