Maybe This Is What Life Is About

blog

Maybe life really is about making your 8-year-old self happy. Doing things just to do them; not for profit, not for views- just doing the things that you want to do for YOU.

Maybe life is about seeking out the beauty in all the things we deem to be “imperfect.” Seeing and appreciating what makes everything so special and unique in this world.

Maybe life is about finding what truly lights up your soul and pouring into yourself whenever you can. Filling your own cup up so full that it starts spilling love and light onto others who come across your path.

Maybe life is about noticing and being grateful for the abundance of blessings that surround you everyday. Basking in the happiness that you’ve created for yourself, and recognizing how much of your life is answered prayers.

Maybe life is having faith that no matter how hard life may get, we are more than capable of making it through. Recognizing how much you have overcome in this lifetime, and appreciating the person you have become along the way.

Maybe life is about slowing down and being present to the love that is within you, and all around you. Maybe this is what life is about.

Dear 20-year-old self

blog

What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?

You are doing way better than you think, and you’re also NOT the problem you think you are. I know you’re going through a horrific spiral of anxiety now that you’ve moved out of the chaos of your parents’ apartment, and I know the overwhelming feeling makes it feel like you have always been “dramatic” or “abnormal,” but this is NOT TRUE!

Your nervous system has grown up in a chaotic environment, and although now you’re in a peaceful place, your nervous system is wired in a way that keeps you on edge, ready for anything at any moment. Your sensitivities may feel like a burden, but just know that they are actually your superpowers. Once you learn how to regulate (which you will, now that you’re in an environment where you can), you’ll start to understand why you are the way you are, and you’ll be able to give yourself more grace.

At 20 years old, you feel so old, yet so young. You’re out on your own, paying your rent/bills, working a job, taking community college classes, yet you feel so new to this independent world. The anxieties and worries linger around every decision, but just know that decisions are portals, and no matter which one you make, it’s the right one for you.

Life is a series of lessons, and these lessons turn into blessings as you learn discernment and emotional regulation. We make mistakes, we learn, and we do better next time. Focus on being present and healing, so you can continue to thrive in this life- I know you will. 🤍

Sunday Vibes

My husband is out shooting Air-soft with his friends, so I am taking a much needed “me day” at home! This morning I did some declutterring and then I made myself some breakfast. Later on I decided to go out and grab myself an iced coffee and now I’m home reading my new book that I won from @thecosmicrx on Instagram!

The new moon technically peaks tomorrow, but I’m feeling that calm reset kicking in now, and I am excited to see what these next couple of months look like! The more I lean into being present and taking life day by day, the easier it is to feel fulfilled and happy. I am so grateful for today and this life.
