Your questions and wonderings about life resonated and I am also a person 25 going on 26 lol, though my birthday is later this year! I think the quote that really hit me was: "I turn 26 on Friday and I wonder if this will finally be the year that truly, deeply, fully give myself permission to live the life that I want to live. Or, better yet, to realize that I never needed to ask permission" because I have been asking myself what - truly - is the life I want to live? I'm feeling an invitation to sit with your final question, what matters to me? Especially when I've spent so much effort unintentionally pressuring myself into crafting a life around other people's expectations that its gonna be a process to answer this question not with what matters to others, but what matters to me.
Hi Emily! Oh I am so happy to hear this resonated – and it feels so good that my words found you in a similar place in life as me. I'm curious to hear what comes up when you sit with that question – what matters to you TODAY? That's always my favorite place to start. Thank you for commenting :) I'm excited to see how your journey unfolds.
What a refreshing read. Warmest welcome to 26 and happiest birthday to you!
Thank you so much, Riley :)
"More than half of the words I string together end up with question marks." I see you, living in the wonder of it all. xo
We are mirrors of eachother! So grateful for you.
