The past few weeks have included lots of cardigans, puppies in coffee shop (sitting at the bar like Norm), all the good pens and books on survival skills at the knife store 🤔😳

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

“No matter how hard life is, miracles always find a place, like an innocent flower growing in the middle of the desert. Its roots may not be deep and you may not have planted the seed, but it is there. It has come for you in your most hopeless hour and is waiting for you to find it.”

When I receive replies back from people i have reached out to for inspiration, it can be a great source of motivation and encouragement. It shows that others are interested in your ideas and are willing to engage with you, which can boost your confidence and keep you motivated to continue pursuing your goals.Additionally, getting feedback and responses from others can also provide follow backs and new perspectives and insights that you may not have considered before.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 100 likes!

heal so that when someone is trying to love you, you let them.

"Maybe in another lifetime" no. This is literally all we get. Send that text. Go out on Friday. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Be kind. Because you only get this life once. Your life is not a game, you can't replay this. Don't hide behind your fears and "what ifs".Don't leave any stones unturned if you felt the need to ever turn them.

Swett evening!

I’m so awkward, it’s embarrassing and hilarious 😂 if I’m not in my usual environments it’s like my brain stops working and I can’t get words out when people speak to me.

Anywho, my car has been dropped off and hopefully they’ll find what’s wrong with it and it won’t cost thousands of dollars. Please universe, give me a break.

I feel not so great about myself lately. I gotta figure my shit out.

My black eye is kind of getting better I think? Every time my kids look at me they very dramatically tell me how bad it is 😂 oddly enough, only one person at work noticed it yesterday, or rather only one person spoke up about it lol I’m shocked how people are either not observant or don’t want to ask me? I haven’t worked with any of my bff’s so that will be the real test lol

I have to take my oldest to the college soon. I think I’ll get some Starbucks today.

I’m off for three but I really need to work some OT. But we haven’t been super busy and I don’t think NICU has been either. I’ll text them later when I decide.

Let’s try to have a good day! 💛

Trying my very best to remind myself to be grateful for the life that I live instead of thinking all of the things I wish were different 🤞🏽

I figured it out!!! hehe :P okay so.... 6. 9. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 30.

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non physical)

I have pretty eyes, I like my body, and I have nice hair. I am strong, brave, and sensitive.

9. what calms you down? meditation, deep belly breathing, a hot cup of tea, massage, running, journaling, pretty much anything under the polyvagal theory works for me.

19. most important thing in your life? maintaining my mental health/being there for my family. it feels selfish to not say my husband or family- but I have to take care of myself first before I can be there for others in the way i’d like to be.

20. what do you want most in the world right now? the courage and strength to get through my job, so that I can go back to focusing on the things that matter most, my family, home, & self.

21. if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be? you have no idea what’s coming for you. (I don’t wanna tell her too much!)

22. what would you say to your future self? I love you, thank you, you are beautiful.

23. favorite piece of clothing? mmm all of my crew necks

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house... just things that remind you of the feeling of home)? Jackson for sure, my dogs, my zen room, the smell of spruce/woodsy oils.

I love when you meet someone and you just click. You know you’re supposed to be friends or lovers or something. You just know the universe said “you two, yeah you, don’t leave each other’s side okay?”. Here’s to meeting awesome new people and forming amazing new bonds.

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

soulmates are people you gravitate towards in many dimensions. u just have higher percentage of having a meaningful friendship in this world, how sweeet :)
