I woke up abruptly today, after being stung in the chest, by a very large wasp.
It was a dream of course, but as I was trying to pull this wasp out of my skin… I felt panic. I don’t know how many people out there have dreams that really just elicit serious emotion, but this one for some reason continues to stay fresh in my mind.
For those of you who don’t know, I have a bee tattoo, because I LOVE bees. I know wasps aren’t the same, but honestly, I’ve never really had any qualms with them either. That said, it was just strange to have such an aggressive sign push its’ way into my subconscious.
Now, after waking from this dream I decided to use the interweb to find out what it may signify. What it said was, that it is a symbol of evil, hatred, or anger coming into your life. So, that’s terrifying. I’m choosing to believe the more optimistic sign that it could be, and that is, telling you to pursue your dreams. Pursue the thing that scares you, because if you don’t start you can never see where it goes. While this is something I’ve been talking about in previous posts, I’ll reiterate that I am currently unemployed, I have dreams to pursue my own business, rather than go back to the restaurant industry. The problem is, I have anxiety, I have doubts about myself, and my value.
I’m sure many of you may feel similarly, but it’s just such a shitty feeling. It’s shitty to feel uncomfortable in your own skin, with your own mind, etc. I want to truly embrace everything that I am, without the fear of others judgement, or disapproval. I want to pursue art, and passion, and love of life. In today’s society that’s such a difficult concept, it feels as though everything is pushing away from the individual, and leading to a conglomerate of money, power, and greed. That may be how it has always been, human nature is a bitch after all, but I want to push humbly forward, meeting myself somewhere, where I can be helpful, successful, and proud.
There’s my rant for today, my talk about mental health issues, about scary dreams, and about life. Thanks for reading.
Haha when I meditate, I especially include bees in my prayers. I love bees but it often gets emotional because they are endangered

It’s so sad, they are so important as pollinators. We really couldn’t do without them, yet we forget about their importance consistently.

I want those things.
I want:
Here…
This is what I am.
This is what my heart will do,
how I’ll stand,
and scribble,
and make something else
out of clouds,
morning breezes,
sunbeams and raindrops.
I want those things that say it’s me –
not ‘cuz my numbers add up…
not ‘cuz I fit…
I just want me.
The moment we lose that…
the moment we get talked out of us…
Be you. Broken, scared, struggling – so what? That means you’re vulnerable enough to feel the touch of a world where being human still means something.
