I admire myself and I look to myself for advice. I’ve been through some stuff and I’m unlike anyone else in the world, so I’m the best person to look to for advice. No one else understands me as well as I understand myself.
Just earlier today, I was feeling rather anxious. I asked myself what I needed and then, based on the answer, I sat down and wrote in my journal for a while to sort and sift through my anxiety and other feelings. By the end, I came to a sort of piece of advice for myself. This advice was uniquely tailored to me and this situation and yet, it’s something that I will be able to return to again and again when I feel similarly anxious in the future. And maybe at some point I’ll be able to share this advice through my writing and it will be helpful to someone else.
I also admire and seek advice from a great many writers. Here are some blog posts I’ve written about books that have helped me over the past year or so.

The Man Who Could Move Clouds by Ingrid Rojas Contreras
Bad Indians by Deborah A Miranda
Remember Who The F*ck You Are by Candyss Love
