Literally cannot believe I was ever scared of getting older like this is awesome. Learning so many new things about myself & reacting to things that used to get under my skin so differently. This is so sexy.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

it’s scary but you have to

let people love you

accept help

do the hard thing and do it scared

let your growth be slow

[probuccalfat]

stoicism won’t save you. pick up a hobby where you make something with your hands

how it feels to go to the library without a specific book in mind and to leave with a stack of books you’re excited about in your arms just like you did as a little kid
