20: you are not a machine: why inconsistency is natural 🦋🍄🌻

Soul Salon with Ayandastood

This is for anyone who is struggling to stay consistent with their creative project or goals in life. I am with you! And so are the sunsets, the fruit trees, the weather, the harvest, the ocean waves. You are made to believe you are separate from and “above” nature. But we are all nature. A peach tree does not produce a peach every Monday on demand. So if you’re struggling to do the same, this is for you <3
