currently exploring themes: embracing uncertainty and not needing to know the next step, learning to stop and smell the roses, balance and trying to regain a sense of hope for my future.

with so many unknowns in this & every stage of life (at 30 years old it still hasn’t stopped), the best thing that has helped me is to try to live one day at a time. rather than focusing on some big, distant, ambitious goal, i bring myself back to the present so i don’t miss my actual life. give yourself things to look forward to & focus on connecting with people. remind yourself of what brings you joy or improves your mood somehow & do more of that each day. think of it as a gift to future you to make their day better. make a list you can refer to on grey days if that helps. tackle it with others if you feel stuck or overwhelmed. remember you’re allowed to try things out & make adjustments & mistakes. it’ll be cool to look back & see how everything played out.

one thing i've learned is that there is absolutely nowhere you should be or anything you should be striving for. u r where you r for a reason, don’t fight the current. knowing this has eased a lot of my anxieties about my future and what's to come. as long as i am avid about cultivating joy and doing things that give me a sense of purpose (reading books, journaling, quality time w/ friends + family) i know that everything else will fall into place. trust this and i promise it will prove to b fruitful! any action done in the present is a key factor in what your future will manifest as - one question i always ask myself is: is your current routine bringing you joy???

I allow myself to move through ny life at breakneck speed in order to get to the next “thing”— whether thats a job, life stage, relationship, goal, etc.. i have been doing this since I was 15. It wasn’t until this last summer/fall that I stopped to look around at the life I had built and fully feel everything! I enrolled in a grad program 2 years ago, at the encouragement of my partner, and this past fall I really started to see myself in this career. I feel energized by my work and research, I feel cared for by my department. I feel like a fulfilling career is awaiting me, yet I am taking the time to feel settled in my current service job and internship, careful not to rush past the mundanity and sweetness of my life now. I have everything ahead of me, truly what is my hurry?

White swans - more specifically what they represent and symbolise: "A white swan is a symbol of charm, elegance, respect, belief and commitment. In other words, the meaning of the white swan is symbolism correlated to inner beauty and self-love."
This the energy I be manifesting for 2025
