a really good age. Knowing yourself. Might not be exactly where you want & need but you do know the path, it’s right there in front of you, and you've been walking on it but you’re ready to jog now. You don’t need to run….. life is long, but it’s important to get there

I’m about to turn 30 and idk if my 21 year old self would approve of where I’m at—but my 6 year old self sure as hell would!! I think a lot of life is finding your way back to Little You.
Being 21 is so so hard, and in college you’re first starting to see that you can’t judge your progress based on other people. Even though that’s how you were taught to judge yourself up until this point. The things you want now probably won’t matter to you in a few years, and for me that would have sounded terrifying at 21. But that doesn’t mean the things you want now aren’t important.
You can think of it in terms of tattoos. If you get a tattoo at 16 it’s not because you know it will represent you always and forever—it’s to commemorate a moment, a feeling of boldness you wanted to wear proudly. And down the line you don’t look at it with regret, but a softness for that younger part of you. Feel your feelings fully in this moment! Be bold with what you care about! Every age is special.
Practical advice:
Try to listen to your body and not your head. Do I actually like how I feel spending time with this person? Am I going through the motions of this hobby because I think it will service something else? Does xyz come naturally to me, or does it feel forced? No action needed. This exercise isn’t about flipping your life upside down, just take notice of how your body feels in certain situations. Start to notice when you’re in fight or flight versus happy and free. Find the ease and follow it

I typically feel a little weird and off on my birthday, but today I am really striving to sit with myself and take stock of how far I have come thus far in this little life. I am living the life that young me had always dreamed of. I have my independence, my own apartment, an artistic practice that excites me and gives me comfort and release. I have some of the best friends any girl could ask for. A family that loves me fiercely and that fully accepts and celebrates my love in return. I have worked hard to replace bad habits with healthier ones, and a lot of the time my habits have slowly changed with me hardly noticing. I’ve simply walked into more health and self-respect with the passage of time, and that feels really good. I may not always feel like I am exactly where I want to be, but then I sit back and remember that in many ways, I am, and always have been. And anyway, the best part of life to me has always been arriving, being on the path towards something and relishing the journey.

As person in their early 20s it sometimes seems like life is moving so quickly, and I’m constantly struggling to keep up with the pace of things. Everyone is in a different place. Some of my friends are still in school, some are married, some have the careers they will keep for the rest of their lives, and some are barely scraping by in the service industry.
Do any of us want to be in the places we are? It feels to me that as soon as I begin to feel happy and comfortable somewhere, all I can think about is what my next step will be and how to get there.
I’m starting to realize that I don’t need to know what I’m going to do next all. The. Time. The only reason I feel inclined to know these things is so that I have something to tell nosy family members. I can take my time. I can rest. I can move at my own pace. I have time. The journey, no matter how long, is a part of the process as well and the process can be made up of beautiful and meaningful moments in their own right.

You might think I’m crazy to be saying this in the winter, but yo. heating is so suffocating and dry and if you don’t have a humidifier because you’re a peasant like me clearly, crack that winter window and enjoy that cool breeze….. helps you sleep, makes you able to breathe…. Humans were not meant to stay cooped up in these brick and insulated houses. We are able to survive the coldest of colds. We’re hot blooded creatures and we need air.
