holy shit
i love coming back here from time to time to scroll through my /personal posts. i feel that i owe my younger self an update or maybe my future me when i decide on a random tuesday to go through my 2012 teenage angst.
i'm turning 31 in 2 months. my last life update was 2016. fucking 10 years ago.
my job the last 6 years was/is honestly a 7/10. i work remotely 100% and can travel anywhere. i say "was" because i just resigned from burnout but would like to get back in a month or so.
traveled to 10 or 11 countries since 2023 after meeting a boy in siargao in January 2023, and after travelling with him to 2 countries after Siargao. even though we don't talk anymore, i really am grateful i met him and i genuinely hope that he's doing well in life. he played a major part in changing the trajectory of my life because i met him when i was at my lowest mentally... but don't tell him that.
hiked in Nepal on my 30th birthday.
i just got my own place! not the best time since i resigned which wasn't part of the plan. i know i always figure things out. it will work out eventually.
accepted the fact that being in a relationship is optional. my friend and i just talked about this - how being single is such a luxury. having unlimited me times and not having to update someone or consider them when making big life decisions. sometimes i do wish i had a boyfriend who would do the chores for me if i wasn't feeling it. but that's it lol.
relationship with parents is better. when you're an adult you just understand them better, and they respect and understand you better too. looking through my rants when i was a teen, i knew i was just being a brat but i also didn't know better.
i'm still great friends with my highschool friends. they're my life-long friends and consider them family. i just hosted them 3 days ago. we're all doing great in life. :')
overall i think i'm doing okay. i don't think life is always great but isn't that normal?
