friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.
You deserve a slow love. Uncomplicated. No rush. Sure. Stable. Consistent. You deserve that love. You deserve someone that’s sure of you, that you’re sure of.
Life is not over when you turn 30. If anything, life is more stable and enjoyable and you’re more mature. Everyone who’s over 30 tells me how much safer they feel in life and that their 20’s really was for trauma, pain, mental illness and that their 30’s are a safer space and a happier space. Being scared to get older is such a brainwashing, ageist thing. Good things are coming.
I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn’t begin until you are 26+… Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20’s because you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s just beginning.
