week 5.
this week you are being asked to examine your payoffs in remaining stick. You will explore how you curtail you rown possibilities by placing limits on the good you can receive. You will examine the cost of settling for appearing good instead of being authentic. You may find yourself thinking about radical changes, no longer ruling out you growth by making others the cause of you constriction.

emotional reflections.
It’s been a bad and good week. I felt both excited and sad throughout these days. We had a party at my apartment (shoutout to Yane!) and we also watched the Oscars. We even fully dressed up for the occasion just for the fun of it. That was the cool part of the week, as you may consider.
But that high also brought a strange emotional crash. The party and the Oscars felt so good simply because we were just... present. It made me sad to realize how rare that feeling of lightness has become for me this last week. I’ve spent so much time feeling heavy, stressed and totally disconnected from myself that I almost forgot how to just exist and enjoy the moment without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.
Week 5 in the book is all about recovering a sense of play. Honestly, getting dressed up and laughing in our living room was exactly that. It showed me what happens when I actually let my guard down and stop taking everything in my life so seriously.
I'm dealing with a lot of mixed emotions right now. The start of the week was sorrowful whereas it ended up with a spark of genuine excitement. I'm finally remembering what it feels like to just be a person having fun. For the first time in a long time, it feels like my creativity and me are starting to work together.
