Happy Leap Year Everyone! What are you going to do with this extra day? ✨
There's something so exciting about having a fresh start, and as someone who procrastinates in...everything, it helps to have a little extra push to get going. 😉🎉
My friend Nasia introduced me to this song, and I recently watched the movie with it, and I love the determined, cheerful energy it has.
One of my favorite lines is "Excited yes, and nervous too - a change is starting with me!"
That's how I feel alllll the time. I have so many ideas and goals that I'm really excited about, but I also get nervous and wonder if I'm really ready and capable to make that leap. And you know what? It's okay to be nervous - any change can be hard or scary, the important thing is that you try in spite of it, and keep going even when it gets hard. (Of course, it easy to say that, but a lot harder to do.)
Speaking of hard, I also like the line after which says "I never worry 'bout upsetting carts, hardened hearts, or wonder will I belong." I don't know about you, but personally, my brain tends to hammer me with doubts about what other people might think, and I get a little discouraged when people seem to have "hardened hearts" or act indifferent to things I say and care about. If you look around in the world, you'll notice there's a lot of things wrong with it, and it can seem impossible to make a change when so few people seem to care. But that's where the next line comes in:
"I've heard it enough, I'm calling their bluff, I'll never get lost in the bray" (Ngl that last word confused me so much until I remembered it was about ponies and they were substituting "bray" for "fray". 😏😅) Don't listen to the doubts and despairing voices that swirl around you - you can make a difference and any change you want to make can start with you. One quote I like is "be the difference you want to see in the world" which is exactly what Sunny does in the movie.
For those who don't know, unlike most ponies, Sunny believes earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi can live in harmony and when an unsuspecting unicorn comes to their town Sunny goes out of her way to put that belief into practice and helps the unicorn escape from all the ponies who were trying to capture her out of fear. The two become friends and end up being an example to everyone that peace and friendship was possible. 💖
What is something you're passionate about? What is something you want to get started? Or what is something you've been struggling to do and never seems to get done?
Well today is your day! Go make it happen! And don't let any fear stand in your way. 🐞✨
I'm cheering for you! 🙌🎉🤗
Always a friend,
Christina💕
