girl help i’m starting over again for the 1000th time & i’m beginning to think that life is a never-ending cycle of starting over & i actually have to make peace with that in order to move forward

to be sure of myself to be comfortable with who i am and to never stray or betray myself

Gonna sound insane but I actually rlly don’t understand the obsession with becoming famous/ going viral that’s rampant in so many ppl today regardless of age. As I get older, everyday I wish to share less of myself and less of my work. I want to be alone with the people I love and surrounded by safe and loving connection. I want a life where I’ve released my burdens and my heart is full with love. I just want to come home to the man I feel at home with and make dinner before we both fall asleep on the couch. I don’t want to be known beyond that, not even on a local level.

Things I learned visiting Europe several times (especially the Mediterranean) as a Canadian:

Leisure is so important, maybe even more so than work.

Animal fats are the key to eternal youth. Cheese and red meat = collagen!

Quality/ non processed ingredients in food is a MUST.

You need to take breaks throughout the day to reduce cortisol.

Even if you’re just going out for a latte or glass of wine, dress like an Old Money boomer because refined appearance helps with self-confidence.

Walking daily is non-negotiable, and sun is absolutely vital for not feeling and aging like shit.

Move languidly and never be in a rush. Every Med has a lifestyle considered lazy by North Americans, yet they are healthier, happier and live longer than us.

Someday I will have my own place. My world won’t be confined to my room. I will stumble sleepily through the house in the morning, opening the blinds. I will sit out in the backyard and look at the stars. I will go out whenever I want to. I will survive long enough to have that.

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??
