i feel like this decade finally marks the point in the century where we can start saying garbage like “i had the craziest haircut in ’22.” u can’t do that with like,,, ’16. doesn’t feel right. but “she’ll turn 30 in ’36”……… that’s something else. something magical

I’m very excited about it and it just feels right. I think women start reaching their peak hotness at age 40 and then continue to age like fine wine so I’m looking forward to that too. My plan is to start seriously attempting to grow up in some ways but we’ll see how that goes; I’m probably just going to extend my adolescence in other ways because I have the freedom to do that. Mostly I just keep thinking about how when I was a kid who were 30 seemed so OLD but to be fair it’s not my fault they were like balding. Or like I keep seeing that people I know from high school are parents or watching things and being shocked that the mom characters are my age 🤡 but I don’t know it honestly feels pretty meaningless and arbitrary to me to mark and judge my life using age as a measurement

Because saying “when I was your age we had to ask cha cha” is funny and gets more hilarious as time passes. Growing old is a blessing, and every year that Fallout Boy comes closer to becoming ‘classic rock, I’m filled with gratitude that I’ve made it this far.

In other words, being 30. Feels good to be a grown up.

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
