BECOMING HER : THE MAIN CHARACTER EDIT

Jean 1.1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Bienvenu back, beautiful souls!

Ever think about revealing yourself to the world ?

To walk unfiltered ?

To feel beautiful every day (again, unfiltered).

Do you have your own curated soundtrack to catwalk into the streets ? Well, you might already be the main character, and today we're embracing that energy.

Don’t you feel destined for something different ? Pressured by your soul to meet yourself at your highest ? To get the most of your life ?

Grab your iced-coffee and let’s get started.🧋

How to tell you’re already the Main Character :

• Everything look like an indie movie to you, especially your own life 🎞️

• You’re different without really trying (and sometimes you try to be, too)

• People find inspiration after meeting you and getting a glimpse into your inner world 🌐

• You had a frenemy arc with your mother as a teenager ♾️

• You dream often to fly far away 🛩️

• Sometimes, you act on things only for the plot 📖

• You feels in your bones that you are the chosen one ⭐

What’s a Main Character ?

“The main character semantic is a reference to the idea of a main (primary) character in a work of fiction that the story centers around. The main character, also referred to as the hero or main protagonist, is usually the most important character in the story.”

Want to become your own hero ?

As a leo sun girl, I know one thing or two about feeling like the prize, a diva and the center of the attention in any room.

Aged eight, I wrote my first play and I even casted myself as the only role in it.

Who was I embodying ? A mermaid, alone on its rock, searching the meaning of herself out loud. Sound familiar ?

#SALT for ever then.

And what’s the lesson in a little girl carrying herself with big words and big pride at eight ?

Play by your own rules, own yourself, do not betray the big ideas you get from the divine.

Did you know that Marylin Monroe was once Norma Jean ? In order to achieve her dream life she manifested herself at the top. She’s still the symbol most associated with glamour to this day and her legacy is still vivid.

If you want to dive better into Marilyn mystery’s I enjoin you warmly to watch this ARTE.TV documentary : Devenir Marilyn (French) and to read this incredibly touching book : Fragments, her diaries entries.

The journey of a hero is never easy.

Would you be fond of a story without sorrows ? Without lessons ? Of a dull character being spoiled rotten from day one without guilt, without shame, without substance ? Our heroes were tragics, often orphans (the classic trope), alone against the world or a big emergency. As we grow we tend to feel orphans – a weird feeling of being so alone in a big world without keys and too many closed doors.

For the record, the young Norma Jean had a peculiar story with her childhood and has been estranged by her own mother more than once.

A reminder we can choose to bend reality to embrace our true nature : some meant to shine,

some meant to write,

some meant to dream bigger.

Our journey begins now and we have to remind ourselves constantly of the changing nature of the world.

Jean 1.1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The world is equivalent to the spirit, the spirit is equivalent to the world.

The mind and spirit creates infinities.

ILY keep your chin up !

Mimi’s confidence tips :

The category is ‘ask Mimi’ anyway !

I have a disgustingly long list of women that inspire this post. From the rising star that stole a show, to my best friends, to all the cool girls I see on the streets everyday.

Egs of Females Main Character ares : Maddy from Euphoria (she stole the show), Carrie from ‘SATC’ (as reluctant I am to admit it), Rihanna circa 2000, Rory Gilmore, Buffy from BTVS (mother), Lily Rose Depp (without even trying too hard), Monica Belucci (as seen in ‘Malena’).

What’s the thread between those women ?

A disgusting amount of egocentrism working in their favour.

And glamour magic probably.

What is glamour magic, you may ask ?

It’s perfecting a powerful makeup that highlights every beautiful feature you do have. It’s knowing what works for you so well it enhances your face and aura instantly.

My own formula reside in :

• Clear skin

• Trimmed & plucked brows

• Sharpest eyeliner known to humankind

• Mauve blush

• Brownish lip liner

• Hypnotic Poison or a rich vanilla scent

• Big bouncy and shiny hair

When my combo is perfected and ready to be seen by the world, I feel like myself at my fullest. I feel beautiful and strong and protected.

What’s your signature ?

When you’ll find it you’ll feel unstoppable.

But… The Main Character is always feeling herself !

No Lows, she’s chasing the Highs.

And above all, balance, while doing it raw and authentically. What made us so endeared by women like Britney, Solange beating Jay-Z or Carrie while watching ‘SATC’ ?

They are no fakers.

They do it wrong but they do it nonetheless.

So start doing anyway !

The Mind Matter :

Some Muses are meant to be big screen stars, some to be Doctors, Singers, Writers, as I previously wrote. Our timing on this earth may be uncertain and troubling at times, but we also get the luck to witness the Divine Feminine Era.

Women empowering themselves all around the world, breaking rules and tired clichés mindlessly.

Oh, really ?

We get to think, we get to earn an education, we have Internet access at the tips of our fingers. The world, we can access. We’re not locked in rooms anymore, removed from the Intellectuals circles.

Our voices finally matter. And pioneers before us built this new world we get to experiment, blissfully, unaware of all that power we can play with.

Life is a game, don’t you remember ? Don’t you know ?

Tomorrow, you can choose to drop everything you ever knew, take a whole new road, and decide to be what you always wanted to.

Maybe it will take time, and effort. But what it will protect you from is deceit. And what’s worse than a deceived soul ?

Study things that lift your soul.

Pay for things you love and will take care of dearly. Pour into a relationship that gives you life. Forget the mantras of others and create your own : do not be afraid. Unlearn what feels heavy on your shoulders and on your heart. Nothing will last forever, take what you can from everyday. Learn about joy, chase it. Be consistent about your wishes.

Beat the odds.

My main character moments, because I love to celebrate myself : ⭐

1. Getting my SAT grade after quitting high school (in a college setting)

2. Attending college, beating my own predictions about my life

3. Living alone four months in Italy & working in a museum

4. Beginning Yoga as twenty years old and feeling it was the missing piece I needed to work around — still learning the master of postures (Asanas) to this day

5. Building my brand on #SALT and not letting doubts take over my joy of writing

6. Learning and unlearning my love language

7. Getting back at the therapist office, humbled and still proud to take such care of myself

Romanticize it all : your coffee runs, your crying spells, your little victories.
Feel the spotlight when no one’s watching.
Write the script.

Change it halfway.
Be your own plot twist.

Don’t forget to celebrate it.

The world is yours. Always has been.
Main Character, out.

With love,
Mimi ✨
