I know this quote is talking about future and present but I like to see it as present and past. I feel like I look back on my teenage years and think itās so cringe and I was so messy and made so many mistakes. but at this point, Iāve really built a life for myself that teenage me and current me is proud of. If I am worth something now, I was worth something then.

Im basically reconsidering my entire career
today I went to a vintage shop I like and had a chat with the owner about a job and she was keen!!!!!! we had a cigarette and a black coffee and dumpster dived
It might not turn into anything but it felt like a nice affirmation of doing things for myself and actually figuring out what I like and care about
Teenage me would be so proud she was too busy surviving to develop a sense of self :ā)

I came across some pictures of myself from a couple of years ago and have realized how much has changed. Like, not only do I look so much different, but SO much has changed in my life too ??? obviously my undergrad experience has been nowhere near perfect but I feel like I have grown so much over the past four years. Likeā¦ my 2023 self really did not know that things could be better than I could have imagined !!! Life is so beautiful !!!!!

i like taking psychology because it puts a pseudo intellectual spin on things we all accept are justā¦normal. want to feel included? youāre a sheeple of ODT, you little assimilator.
i do not want to be young again to feel as though my life is longer or my stress is less, it isnāt even really missed opportunity.
when i was 13 i made the biggest mistake of my life and walked into it knowing it would be the biggest mistake of my life. it made me feel silly that such a life altering decision was perpetuated by a āteenagerā, but i, in my endless wisdom, promised my future self i would always act the best i could given the information i had. i did this so i wouldnāt look back at 13 year old amalia screaming and crying that i couldāve done something different.
thats a hard feeling to shake, and yes, it is so so hard to take things as they are and truly recognize all we can do is act dependent on what we know and who we are.
i wish i studied harder for my math final. i wish i wasnt such a bitch. i wish i wouldāve been kinder to 13 year old amalia like i promised her i would, and i hope she knows i do not resent her for that (awful) decision

so Iāve had this tails up penny in my entryway for a few weeks now. I haven't picked it up for fear of bad luck and I havenāt asked anyone else to pick up bc I donāt want them to have bad luck. Yesterday I decided to pick it up and put it down heads up in my apartment lobby so someone else can find good luck. the only way out is through.
