i joke that i'm never normal about anything when i'm stressed or overthinking but honestly embracing that as part of who I am has helped calm my nerves quite a bit. it's okay that i love my favorite things so closely and that i take a little more time to process change. i'm not less of a person for reacting to a situation in a different way.

i’ve distanced my self so much from what’s considered normal or traditional, honestly just to be a contrarian and live my niche kitschy life, but now i’m so used to being outside the norm, that now when i want to experience new/ different things, i do the most normal shit ever. idk if it’s human nature, or just the beauty of life in general, but this experience has truly shown me that i can really be anything i want.

Honestly I feel like I’ve reached this stage in my life where overthinking has literally become a part of my personality. It seems to have taken over so much of who I could become and if I’m being fr, it’s not it lol. I am actively trying to be nonchalant and, it has been helping me? like i feel so free lol. I just really want to be able to be my truest self without feeling so much, is that so much to ASK for🥹🙂‍↔️

i work retail which has been extra frustrating and rewarding recently, but the sun was out for most of my shift tonight which was lovely. i marvel at how quickly my mood rises just by seeing sunshine in a window more frequently.
some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything
