#29at29

[thatbuddie]

today, on the 29th anniversary of my day of birth, i am announcing a little project for myself that i’m calling “29 at 29”

i’m someone who tends to fixate a lot on the past and who obsesses greatly about the future, which means that sometimes it is quite difficult for me to enjoy the present. as i am quite close to leaving my 20s behind and embarking on my 30s, i am trying to stay more connected to the here and the now. so in order to seize the moment and appreciate every day, i made myself a little graphic with 29 things i would love to do while being 29.

and yes, sure, you can call this a bucket list if you want to. but many of the things in my list are not actual bucket list events. many of these items are routines that i want to incorporate into my life, or more abstract ways in which i want to live my life.

this project is not meant to be something that causes me any anxiety, so that’s why i’m not seeing it as something that i have to “complete” or “achieve”. it’s all about the experience.

i will be sharing my journey throughout the year as i do these things and try to enjoy my time while doing them. you can absolutely mute/filter my #29at29 tag if you don’t want to see any of it (completely understandable lmao)

i am sharing a redacted version of the graphic i made. some of the items are blurred because i don’t want to share them with the world as i think this would put pressure on myself to actually ~complete~ them. i will talk about these things if i do them but if I don’t then that’s totally okay too!!!

anyways, here is to my 29th year on this planet <333
