life is ever changing and ever moving. much like the earth, even when it doesn’t feel like it’s moving...it is.
slow growth is still growth. it’s meaningful. worthy. and so incredibly real.
life doesn’t always follow the plan...your plan, your parents plans, or your friends/peers plans. but isn’t that what makes life so extraordinary? the mystery of it all. the differences between my life and yours. the contrast between me and you. no one’s life looks or is the exact same, and that’s a truly beautiful thing to think about.
there’s freedom in letting go and seeing where life takes you. in relinquishing control and going with the flow. in not knowing everything and trusting your life’s path to guide you to exactly where you need to be.
regardless of what chapter you’re on in the book of your life, you’re on track. we’re all on track. none of us are behind.
so take your time, you’re doing just fine 🤍
As a speech therapist/educator, I’m always trying to find simple techniques/explanations to help little kids process and understand their emotions and then teach them healthy ways to express themselves when they’re angry, frustrated, etc. I notice that telling them I deal with the same difficulties, like wanting to yell when I’m angry, goes a long way. Then they know what they feel isn’t weird BUT there are ways to handle their emotions that don’t hurt themselves or others.
i wanna sit in old cafes and listen to the rain just chatting about nothing with you

me: I will do things when I am less tired
me: *never becomes less tired*
me: oh no

Interiors of Barrington Court, Somerset, an unfurnished Tudor house, built mostly in the 1550s. It was one of the first properties to be acquired by the National Trust (in 1907).
If it involves mountains, breakfast food, coffee or campfires- I’m in.
