have so much to say about this; for brevity-sake, ill say that every challenge and pleasure you experience is meant to be observed, sometimes examined, to check-in about how you’re evolving in the process of being your best self.
success is ambiguous and subjective, it’s whatever it means to you, but for me it’s to be fully myself, take care and have a nice time.
when a shit thing happens or i don’t get my way i’ve come to see it as a blessing and purposeful, and i ask myself what i could possibly learn from it. there’s always a thing to learn, even if it’s mere acceptance. it’s saved my mental life, i tell ya that
sometimes you think you’ve ‘passed a test’ but the situation is a ‘pop quiz’ in a different format: how you perform on that assessment is not meant to trick you but to check in on your progress and maybe illuminate areas that still need your attention, something else to learn because the timing and scenario is different.
it’s beautiful.

inspired by a convo I had today + Sabrina Carpenter’s speech at a variety event last year (?)
I hope this reminder finds anyone who needs it because I know I needed to hear it today (yes I was tweaking out ok) — I know this sounds awfully annoying when you’re in the midst of it all but I hope we find it in ourselves to genuinely fall in love with the process, whatever that means for us as individuals — whether that’s with a craft, goal, or vision etc etc.
for me personally i am learning to appreciate the version of myself rn. to expand, the version who is still trying to figure out how showing up authentically looks like for me, feeling v awkward while doing so, but also trying to remember that i will never have her again. i saw this quote also the other day and it really moved me

you really couldn't pay me to relive this year. but the lessons im taking away from it were more than necessary, even if they had to be forcefully taught to me over and over. first lesson: the simplest things are hardest to understand.
like being your own best friend. or to not give others too much of your time. to look after and love yourself before even thinking of doing the same for others. to walk away from friendships you've lost with a renewed desire to use all that new time being with yourself instead. not just on your phone but really getting to know yourself. that people come and go in life and you are the only one you have forever so have love and kindness and patience for yourself the way you do for others. things that sound simple right?! that keeping yourself busy and putting off your emotions will only make them bigger. that you can only love someone and know someone as much as you love and know yourself. to make moves in silence so they're actually accomplished. not to wish ill on others even jokingly. not every problem needs to be confronted immediately, decisions can be dwelled on. it's good to sit and think. even when it hurts not to, don't argue with others. again, its okay to sit and think those thoughts instead. reflection hurts and sometimes hurt is needed. go on more walks. face more of your fears. don't forget to freaking write in your journal everyday so that when you DO write it's not about how "damn".. you haven't written in so long. throw stuff out. eat more fruit. Post less, worry less about time. stop regretting everything. actually read the books you borrow. everything in moderation. don't skip a meal and work before play (im a grown adult saying this) take a deep breath once in awhile. a clean house is a clean mind. making your bed feels real good. the simplest things are the hardest to get. i hope to go through more painfully difficult things in 2025 that i think i won't possibly get over until i do.. happy new years ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡

I've been in one of those rare seasons where you can actually see how the difficulty of it is forming you in deep, character-building ways
yeah, it's been confusing and miserable at times, but—wow—what a time of preparation and resetting and reorienting
hard things don't always lead to growth, but I've found that striving for a posture of humility, curiosity, and love amidst the trials makes those seasons more likely to bear fruit

if it wont jeopardize your survival fund just do it you deserve it
find an excuse that you think they’ll pity, they don’t need to know that you ‘just need a day’ if they are toxic capitalists -
