idk even though there are so many more annoying external circumstances like not being on my family health insurance etc., having to fully support myself and deal with shitty landlords, my metabolism slowing down and weird health issues......... i feel so much stronger and cooler and mature and open to life as opposed to when i was in my early 20s. i feel more secure in my decision-making (not perfect) and stable in my skin. i was not granted the grace i deserved from myself or from others in my early 20s. maybe it's a capricorn and aquarius stellium thing too, but as i get older, i feel more discerning and stable.

i am going on 11 years removed from 16 and i haven’t stopped to reflect and look back on it much until just now tbh. for one, im so much more articulate and patient. i also recently realized is its so much easier for me to not care about what people think. like i actually couldn’t care less how i look to others atp. my curiousity for the world has grown and i feel like im a part of something big even if i feel alone sometimes. a lot less insecure. but i also now am old enough to realize there really is no age range or time frame for these metrics at all. i’m sure in another 10 years i’ll have come to all new conclusions.

maybe it’s just that i’m young enough that the novelty hasn’t worn off yet but i love becoming more of an adult every year.
as a teenager i was so terrified of not being one anymore but i love being in my twenties so far. so much of it is uncomfortable and there’s so much uncertainty and still! i wouldn’t go back ever ever ever.
being alive is weird and hard and probably always will be but being alive when you have no brain development or any concept of how to do ANYTHING is especially weird and hard. i enjoy being myself so much more now than i did when i was younger; i have more perspective to weather the uncertainty better, i’m so much less insecure and preoccupied with how i come off to other people, and if i want to change my behavior or my life i have so much more freedom to do it! and i’ll only get more conscious and more interesting as i get older! how fucking cool.
also as someone who really had to grow into my features it’s a nice bonus that i’ll probably only get hotter and have better skin over the next couple of decades. nice!

im turning 30 this year and im literally so excited... life has never felt as peaceful or made this much sense before. im really looking forward to my 30s and beyond, the hardships still come of course but i am way better equipped to handle them. 20s is/was so stormy and unstable constantly and my mental health was very poor (though i will always struggle in this sector i have way better techniques that i could have only gained through experience!) i feel overall happier and more capable than ever, truly grounded, and ready to keep growing in this direction. i know aging is never super fashionable but in my experience it's been nothing but positive. so don't be afraid if u are someone who feels anxious about it!!!

I can't drink a lot of caffeine because I have grave's disease, but I love the ritual of a morning decaf coffee. The taste and the placebo of it all. It tastes slightly different than real coffee but I don't mind. I barely notice it. Because that shit still motivates me
Teas are a bit easier of course but I love a good black tea and the Twinning decaf earl gray is somehow more noticeable in taste... so I'm looking for the perfect placebo black tea.
