everyday i mourn that my parents did not make me study five languages during my critical window of language acquisition (2 to 7 years)

I blog for the girls who cry on their birthdays and lose a little bit of themselves during the summer months

what im learning is that you cannot avoid your way into a life you enjoy

Just a little reminder that there is another way of living, and despite everyone around you boozing, having casual sex, anxiety ridden, addicted to their screens, vaping and overspending to ‘fit-in’, this doesn’t need to be your story. This doesn’t need to be your life. Just know you have a choice. You have a choice to stay in and read Joe Dispenza on Thursday nights, you have a choice to set your 7am alarm on Saturday mornings so you can make the bootcamp workout, you have a choice to go to Toastmasters and refine your public speaking on Mondays after work. Just because everyone around you is living a life that doesn’t feel quite right for you, doesn’t mean you need to be a sheep and follow the crowds. Eagles cannot fly with pigeons. Know your power. Own your power. Stop allowing yourself to be plagued with feeling icky, and feeling small and doing things you don’t enjoy just because everyone else is. Just remember you have a choice.
