AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. INSPIRING.
::: I would love to just touch this feeling :::

1. Speak From A Genuine Place
This is very important, not just for this particular skill set, but for interacting with others in general. Make sure that you are acting from a genuine place. Really look at why you are feeling the way you are feeling. Sometimes, it may be out of an insincere place; the most common being jealousy, contempt or frustration. That’s fine if you feel those things, but those are YOUR issues, not anyone else’s. You should always do your best to act from a place of love. It doesn’t matter if it’s self-love or love for another, what’s important is that it should be because you are standing up for the well-being of yourself or someone you care about.
2. Have Confidence In Your Intentions
Now that you know you’re acting from a place of love, when you speak up, have conviction in your feelings and your intentions. You are entitled to your feelings and you are entitled to express them appropriately. Of course, this doesn’t mean that people are going to necessarily like them. They may try to tell you you are wrong, or try to make you feel like a bad person for feeling the way you do. Guess what? You’re not. You’re not wrong for having feelings and you’re definitely not wrong for looking out for the welfare of yourself & those you care about. If who you’re talking to doesn’t like what you have to say, you just take stock in the fact that you know what your intentions are and so does the universe.
3. Articulate Your Feelings Logically
Dude, do not just be like, “YOU KNOW, IT REALLY BUGS ME WHEN YOU DO THIS.” That is not acceptable. We’re working on being adults here. If you are going to speak up, be able to articulate how you feel and why it is problematic. Being able to rationally explain why you are feeling this way and why it is an issue will help you stay confident in your opinion, as well as instill confidence in your opinion with who you are explaining it to. You want the person you’re addressing to take you seriously, so don’t be vague or wishy-washy. This should be pretty easy if you know your intentions. If you cannot articulate the how and why of your feelings, then you should probably take another look at the first step, because they’re probably stemming from totally not-legit reasons to be getting up in someone’s grill about.
4. Handle Yourself
Speaking about getting up in someone’s grill, yeah, don’t do that. There is no need. All you have to do is stay focused on your intentions and stay calm. You’re not there to fight, and you’re not there to prove them wrong. You are there to simply bring to light how you feel and hopefully, find a solution to a problem. By getting angry with them, you are only defeating yourself and the issue you are trying to have resolved. As I said in step three, you want people to take you and your feelings seriously. You’re not some kid on the playground threatening a fist-fight. You know what happens when kids fist-fight? The recess aides come and put an end to it because obviously they can’t handle themselves. You’re not a child, so don’t handle yourself like one.
5. Know When To Walk Away
Some things may never be resolved– especially right there on the spot– so it’s okay to walk away. This isn’t about winning, it’s about being honest with yourself and the people in your life. And you did it. You were honest. You let them know how you felt. So, go ahead, walk away. Walk away with your chin up knowing that you spoke your piece, that you acted from a place of love and that you were an adult about it. Judging by what I see on reality TV, this is something rare and definitely something to be proud of. Eventually, all this will be second nature. No more prepping or pumping yourself up; you’ll just be able to have your feelings and confidently express them because you’ll know exactly where they are coming from– your heart.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson

Jose Cuervo is the leading brand of tequila. The project aims to make a intervention to the icon of the brand, the "crow". The proposal made is a balance between innovation and tradition, which is achieved through the medium where the sculpture is.
Traditions are reflections of people, people reflect traditions. It is time to remember and rescue what is truly ours, an identity rooted simultaneously be projected into the future.

Mom + Dad bought me a onesie for my birthday.
It feels like a constant loving embrace.
I might be 26, but I'm still a kid and I like it.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us "universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein
