If there's one thing this juice cleanse taught me it was to simplify which seems to be the theme of the past year.

The juice cleanse works because you're ingesting easily digestible juices, so your body, instead of focusing energy on digesting, focuses on healing which it's put off since digesting is a priority. Past hurts, emotional and physical, start aching again but they're healing.

I feel like my whole year was cutting out everything complicated. All that clutter had to leave, and I really reduced my existence to a few fundamentals. Once that happened, my energies were focused on my personal priorities, and of course, healing.

Yes I do in part feel guilty for letting certain people drift away, because I didn't have the energy to sustain relationships, but now is the time I've been reaching out again.

I found old videos and messages I had recorded from past years. I think I used to be much more forward and friendly and careless. Of course I've become this way out of necessity, careful and contained, but at the same time it's something I'm working on switching on and off. I want to be okay being vulnerable again. There was something charming and relatable to being vulnerable, don't you think?
