I was cleaning today and stumbled upon journals from 8-10 years ago. I’m so grateful that I kept them because they are a reminder of how much I’ve grown, the many lives I’ve lived, and the people that have come and gone.
a side note is that I wasn’t particularly fond of the prose lol

Sometimes painful and not for everyone, but goddamn sometimes it feels good to know what you’ve overcome. A HUGE practice in being kind to all versions of yourself, past and present. I sometimes annotate my old ones in the margins, give myself a little “good luck.”

I have a hard time feeling like myself sometimes or being able to put to words who I am, but my journal from senior year of high school jogs me right back to where I started and what my core essence is. highly recommend if you have them, and doubly so if you experienced Something that put a wrench in your identity but have journals from before that event. everyone should be putting their life to words!

even if its delusional, I really do love the idea of trusting that all of the perceived hardships, anxieties, and lessons ultimately lead to a path that's catered to our individual needs for growth and learning.
maybe I am detaching from reality in an effort to cope, but I truly am starting to believe that miracles (big and small) happen daily and that we will all be ok in the end.
attention and intention are everything.

rushing for who and what? stressing over what arbitrary deadlines?
if it’s not an actual emergency, then it’s not an emergency.
