I can get really stuck in FOMO and shoulda woulda coulda thinking.
I need to remember how there has been so much in my life that I have yearned for (love, consistency, relative security, a family) that I now have.

i think settling into your life is a feeling that creeps up on you. as someone who struggles with being present, i need to constantly practise gratitude or even my dream life kinda passes me by. i think it's human nature to be constantly looking for the next best thing, but it takes a lot of awareness to realize you've already made it on so many facets. thinking about my younger self and the pride they'd feel looking at present me is grounding and brings me lots of perspective.

✈️when things are just going so well that you get scared as hell waiting for it all to fall apart. It’s a normal feeling, but a dirty, nasty thief of joy. Don’t let it convince you to borrow grief from the future and ruin the now.
also, I moved a hell of a lot growing up too and I also thought I wanted to root myself in one place forever and ever when I “grew up” — it was just an outsized response to the reality of my moment. As an adult, I get itchy when I stay in one place too long and I’m realizing that a substantial part of who I am will always have 1 eye on the horizon. I’m figuring out how to make peace with that now. I’m also leaning into the fact that I am much more comfortable with change than most of my peers! it can be a super power if you let it :)

⏲️i used to (and still do) freak out so bad thinking about the future and whatnot, but i have found that if i make myself focus on the present moment, i am almost instantly calmed. AND, this forces you to savor the time you are currently in so you’ll hopefully remember it better. i try and notice little details in the moment because that’s what will bring me back to the memory easiest later on. i think you just kinda have to remember that there’s only so much you can actually control with the passage of time (that being how you choose to experience the present moment), and what you can’t control will eventually work itself out if you let it.

Didn’t have pierced ears until I was 12, so I really enjoyed these bad boys that looked cute and barely kept on for 20 mins.
Ended up having a nickel allergy that basically keeps me from wearing any earrings so maybe I should get back into these little guys.

I had seen people casually before my current partner of almost 12 years, but never love.
I realized I could spend near infinite amount of time with him. That I didn’t mind holding his hand in public Or snuggling with him in front of my family Or introducing him to my friends Or calling him babe or love. The idea of vacationing to him only sounded fun. The idea of moving in together felt right and he felt the same way. We revel/ed in love celebrations.
All of this happened for me within the first year and I was completely thrown off because I was always stressed out about the potential of being seen (both at all but especially as a spectacle that a relationship brings) and then with him I didn’t mind at all.
