What It’s Like Drinking Energy Drinks

To be honest, this is me even without caffeine. 😂

I shot this video before I left for my trip and it feels appropriate to post because l'm currently horizontal and jet lagged in Mumbai. It's okay, give me two hours and I'll be at this level again🔋

I am a naturally high energy person and I won't lie, it's both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because my energy allows me to have a very strong drive towards accomplishing my goals (both professional goals like projects and personal goals like mastering Catan). I can lock in and work for hours with laser focus. Usually when someone is sitting beside me while working, they don't believe I'm actually typing for real because of the speed at which I'm operating. And usually saying things like this will evoke a response out of people that labels this speed and energy as problematic and something to be fixed, but here's the thing.

Even physically, I'm very energetic with my movements and facial expressions. My hands move a lot when I talk, I act a fool on the dance floor and I have a complex where I think everyone walks slow Imao. And I'm usually always apologizing for that in the form of "sorry, am I being loud? Sorry, I'm just so excited!" but l'm deciding I want to stop apologizing for a natural part of myself. This is just who I am!

People always assume I must be tired, stressed and absent, and therefore unhealthy. I get their POV as I do a lot, travel a lot, work a lot, come up with new ideas a lot, etc. But to be honest, even if I'm wide awake and completely present, I hear

"you must be so tired!" But that's a projection. And we don't usually hear these comments made towards men, because their drive makes them hustlers.
The reality is I also rest a lot, reflect a lot and wind down a lot.

So hear me when I say, my energy isn't a facade or act, it's naturally part of who I am and I love it so much. It works for me. I feel completely at peace doing all that I do. And when I need to slow down, I plan accordingly and I do. But if not, you're getting hustler Lilly and I ain't ashamed of it! ❤️
