last week i wrote in my journal about putting in effort to have something to look forward to each day and this week i decided to join a local journaling hang-out in my favorite coffee shop. small things like these really do change your perspective on living. it makes me feel that i am more than just a person who’s got a full-time job 5 days a week. i get to go out of my shell, have fun with my friends and do things i genuinely love doing which is ultimately what life should be about. here’s to more days filled with small but definite happiness.

the sense of knowing that you're in a big transitional stage of your life. such a surreal feeling. exciting and terrifying and grief-filled and joyous all at once.

Getting a weird little hobby is actually so important bc it opens your eyes up to the world. You start crocheting or knitting, and now you see scarves and sweaters differently. You try identifying plants, now you’re seeing opposite and alternate leaf pattern. Bird watching? Every chirp draws attention and interest.

Get into weird little hobbies.

you will get up & you will make that to do list & you will be realistic about your limits & you will take it easy but steady & you will eat good food & you will get things done & you will move your body & you will do things that make you happy & you will limit your screen time & you will be the thing that saves you

i believe you can always get back to yourself. you can always soften into being again. no matter how long you might be stuck in a pattern of unhappiness, of being jaded, of feeling guarded from the world in some way. there is always a path back. give yourself a chance to find it.
