Basically everyone operates in their own little world of existence through their own lens. Realizing that when you take into account the billions of people in the world, or even the possibility of life among millions of galaxies, you are a grain of sand on the beach, for only a blink in time. Life moves on with or without you and eventually we will all be lost to time; which is kind of cool because it means your problems are a lot smaller than you think.
When time is so infinite for everything but the human experience, it kind of makes it more special that you exist. You have the opportunity to absolutely change someone’s lived reality for the better. A simple act of kindness could be the difference between sorrow, happiness, death, etc. You can be the reason that someone’s small piece in the puzzle fits better. Your existence and actions can literally change someone’s entire perceived reality.
Being both nothing and everything helps me come to terms with big emotions, and helps me keep perspective on who I am and who I want to be- rather that who I ‘should’ be.

it‘s a cliche for sure, but in recent years i have become a big believer in every event, good or bad, having some sort of purpose, whether it be a big or little one. i guess this helps me to stay content in the moment because it reminds me that, “hey! i know you might be upset about this thing right now, but it’ll work out. you just have to let it.” i am a big time worrier, and i always want to control situations as much as i can, but i have found that if i just let them play out, they’ll go the way they were meant to. (and if it’s not in a good way, at least it’s a good story).
and, honestly, it helps me just remembering what a miracle it is to be alive at all; to have the blessing of living at the same time as the people i love; to feel the sun shine on my face in that very moment. we are so small in the grand scheme of things, but here we are!!! how wonderful is that!!!
it’s like in ”vienna”: “slow down, you’re doing fine, you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.”

- remember life is bigger than i am; what may seem large to me is not
- with that being said, what may seem small to me is not that to everyone
- my existence is worth more than my perception of it is
- remembering the bigger picture helps me with remembering my worth

i feel like we tend to give way too much of our energy to things that don’t actually matter that much. put the mean phone down and get some fresh air, good grief!! it is not the end of the world - the sun will always rise again. of course, some things do have weight, and that’s okay! it is okay to be upset! but everything only has the power we decide to give it. we are so small and the universe is so infinite, and i’ll sound like a hippie saying this (which i do not think is bad at all, they kinda had it going on), but we should pour so much more of our energy into expressing love. it makes other people feel better, it makes you feel better; it’s just the better option.

You don’t need to suffer to prove that you’re a good person. You don’t have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you don’t have to keep dating that person you’re not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I’m not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isn’t.
That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.

I’m tired of jumping through hoops and reframing my mounting dread everyday as ‘an opportunity to make a change‘. I’m tired of thinking that only if I tried harder, or was better or did something different that I would have a better outcome. At what point do you stop trying to jam the same puzzle piece in the same spot and say,
“Hmm maybe this doesn’t fit!”
Am I quitting trying to be an ever optimizing and improving version of myself? Maybe. OR have I successfully gotten what I wanted out of this experience and can peacefully move on without remorse?
I think in 2025 I’m going to start choosing the latter.
