Today the #ultimateprincesscelebration focuses on Ariel, who like many of you was my first fave princess! The Little Mermaid actually came out when I was one and I used to watch it on repeat until Beauty & the Beast came out and I fell in love with Belle, Beast, and Gaston 😂
I’m recognizing a royally awesome heroine in my life: ME. Read on to see why.
I love the little mermaid so much because of Jodi Benson and how inspirational she is not just as the voice of a mermaid bus as a genuine human! I was supposed to meet her at Comic Con but my anxiety got the best of me …
💭 Let’s dive a bit deeper here into that subject (badum bum 🥁): I’ve always longed to be part of the world to which I never felt I belonged. For most of my life I never felt pretty, focused, smart, capable, or worthy.
Believe it or not, it wasn’t until 6 years ago I became independent and fully confident. It wasn’t until 4 years ago I felt beautiful. And it wasn’t until this summer I felt capable and worthy. I’m still working on feeling focused (which has to do with my newly found disorder).
As many of you know I’ve been working on getting tested for ADD/ADHD and I’m finally done with the testing and from that I found I have a combined version of ADD/ADHD and that I suffer from high anxiety. But I never realized or felt either. I was always just told growing up that “you talk too much, you need to focus, you are failing you should do better, why aren’t you getting this, why are you so anxious, etc” but one of my best friends helped me see that THAT wasn’t my world.
So if you made it down here I write this as I do with all the insights and long captions of my life to share with you that you’re not alone. I thought I was for so long. But we DESERVE to be part of a big beautiful anxious free loving world!
