Why didn’t the coffee bean go to the Halloween p Why didn’t the coffee bean go to the Halloween party? It was grounded 🥲☕️ ⁣ ⁣ They say that you’re the average of the five people you interact with the most & it’s true - my dad jokes have been better and better because of @jerometraveller 😅⁣ ⁣ Jokes aside, when we met, all of us were in different parts of the social media game. But what brought us together is that we were hustling. Although sometimes we undervalued our work or even worse, did work for free 🥴⁣ ⁣ We were often barraged with comments from people who told us “social media is not a real job” 🥲 ⁣ ⁣ We’ve had severe down moments. Times where we almost quit or didn’t see a future in any of this anymore. ⁣ ⁣ I’m grateful that in many ways the four of us grew together, supported each other and tackled many different obstacles with honesty, feedback and fresh perspectives. ⁣ ⁣ We never compete & always collaborate 🥰⁣ ⁣ Years later and this is still my favorite Halloween photo - what are you going to be for Halloween this year? 👀⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fblogger #newyorkskyline #ilovenyc #newyork_ig #nycblogger #cityviews #perfectview #picturesofnewyork #newyorkstyle #newyorkcity #newyork #newyorknewyork #newyorklife #nyny #icaputure_nyc #ignyc #nycityworld #halloween2021 #halloweencostumes #halloweenforever
Can any of you relate? ⁣ ⁣ This time last year Can any of you relate? ⁣ ⁣ This time last year I was in a lot of pain. I used my lowest emotional and mental points to do a lot of inner work. To understand my triggers and how my emotions function. ⁣ ⁣ I produced some of my most important diary entries during that time, and I wanted to re-share some parts of it again. So here goes 🙏🏼⁣ ⁣ We all have emotional blindspots and harmful behaviors that unintentionally hurt the people around us. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Be mature enough to communicate it … uncomfortable feedback will help you grow into a better version of yourself. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Your past experiences are shaping your perception of this present moment. Are you seeing things for what they are or are you viewing them through a lens of insecurity? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Other peoples pasts are shaping their perception of you, too. If what they’re projecting onto you doesn’t resonate … don’t internalize it. Don’t dwell on it. Their issues aren’t always about you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Judge your emotions less, reflect on them more. Understanding where they stem from will allow you to observe rather than getting absorbed in them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 📸: @jerometraveller @ 📍 Mesquite 38 @avantstay ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #avantstay #palmspringslife #palmspringsstyle #palmspringshomes #coachellavalleylife #coachellavalleyrealestate #palmspringsmodern #palmspringsrealestate #palmspringsrealestate #bestview #perfectview #fblogger
