Hi,
For once this is a daytime post. I’m mildly surprised at myself but also realize that I’m low key doing this out of boredom, which also hopefully means that this post will be more coherent.
I like me
Last night I was chatting with some girlfriends of mine around the couch, a few glasses of wine deep and we were reflecting on our love lives, personalities and people we had gone to school with. The usual girls night in chat really. It really got me thinking afterwards about my own life. I guess I’m writing this post because I wanted to reflect and say that I am actually really happy with the person that I am, although I may not be confident about my outward appearance I can confidently say I like who I am as a person and what I stand for. I think I’m a good person and I’m happy about that.
I like my life
I also want to note that I am in a good place in my life and that I actually really enjoy it. I love going to uni and hanging out with my friends there and pushing ourselves to learn more , be better and also to find the fun in what we do. I love keeping in touch with my girlfriends from high school and having wine nights where we chat endlessly about nothing important and everything that’s really important. I love the fact that I play netball every weekend and go the gym every other day, it means I’m active, healthy and my body is strong and can move and do really cool things. I love the fact the my work is linked to what I’m studying and I get to talk to patients and make their hospital experience a little bit better and a little bit easier.
This entry turned into a bit of a gratitude fest, but I’m okay with it. Sometimes I think I only write when I’m mad or pissed off or upset and because I’m feeling such strong emotions and I write so passionately about those feelings it seems like I’m always mad or sad, and it also means I miss the mundane parts of my life that actually bring me a lot of joy. Additionally, some of these entries are old and they feel like they are from another girl living in another time. The amount of growth you encounter in your late teens and early twenties is colossal, whether that growth be in the people around you and in my case growth in myself.
