Don’t Forget To Be Very Very Silly Today. It’s Essential

I want to heal, therefore I will. It's the first step, one of the most important ones: to decide to heal and figure out how to do it as you go. This is a journey. I am not looking for a cure, I know very well some things in life can't be permanently fixed and life is never perfect. I am looking to live a comfortable cozy life in a way that is sustainable and achievable to me.

Uh oh.

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well...for there is a force of love moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.

- Julian of Norwich

Mother’s Day is coming ….🥲

This we know that no matter how much suffering has happened in our lives there have also been glimmers of glory. If we keep harping about what went wrong or wasn’t fair or is regretted, we discard the glimmers, those moments of love that made all the difference, moments in which we realized that having a life at all is a wonderous gift.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Is it safe just to be who we are?
