Jazmin's Musings

I’ve been absolutely miserable for the past few days. A combination of exhaustion, overwhelm and overstimulation. I’ve been “going through the motions” of existing, at work, at home, even in my conversations with others. Doing what needs to be done but extremely detached from the process and the outcome.

Believing that we can speed our way to its manifestation. Did you know that nothing can come into our reality until we are truly ready for it?
