HAPPY SUNDAY!
It’s officially approaching November… like in 3 days. Oh how time keeps flying.
It’s just crazy. And it always takes me by surprise.
I wrote a future letter to myself the other day. One that I won’t read for three years. To think how different life is going to be in three years is beyond me. I set some goals, but also hoped that some things would stay consistent while others I would hope for a bit of change and adjustment. Thinking about the future always scares me. I have no idea what to expect and just hope I am maybe on some journey toward what I would want in life. It was a really self-reflection moment. Just thinking about how much my life can alter because of decisions I make or people I meet or experiences I have. All within moments. Everything can just change.
I’ve been trying to incorporate mindfulness again. Whether it’s walking, going on a run, sitting on my roof with a morning coffee; just little things here and there to fill my self-care cup. Because I have most definitely been slacking in that area. It’s so hard when I’ve been caught up with school. But little steps each day. It will add up over time.
October felt like a whirlwind. One day I felt like things in my life were put together and then I turn a corner and the next day it was like things were falling apart. It was very give and go, and I felt extremely unsettled. I have slowly been learning over the month though that I still need to work on how I cope and manage these uneasy emotions.
November always feels like a weird month. It’s slow but can feel unsteady at the same time. I am hoping to face the month by allowing myself to feel, and accept the idea of feeling unsteady sometimes. Life is not linear, and we can’t expect everything to be so consistently steady all the time. Believe that the good will come eventually but embrace the idea that these waves of more curvy periods are still growing experiences. That is my mindset right now. I feel like I am outgrowing something. I am still figuring that out though.
Growth is uncomfy. And it takes time to understand that. But it can lead to bigger things that are meant for us. Just trust me on that.
That’s it for now.
STAY KIND:)
with love,
