That simple quote has stuck with me ever since I first heard it. To me it says that we have to face our present challenges in life head on, that it will be difficult but we have to embrace the chaos and put in the effort if we want to get to our ideal place. Change takes effort and things do get better with time and we should always remind ourselves to learn to dance in the rain. Yes, we can be crying for the moon about how we feel unfulfilled but we have to at least try and live in the moment and plan/dream of better days.

“Every storm runs out of rain” -Maya Angelou
And to snowball off this…
we do not need to be storm chasers- running alongside the storm, looking up at the rain and asking “why are you here!?”.
We can instead heave a seat, feel the rain wash over us, and before we know it, the storm will have passed because “every storm runs out of rain” ☁️🌧️🌦️☀️
AND even in the heaviest of storms, the sun is still shining behind the clouds.
And so are we. No matter how many clouds are currently covering you, let them be comforting blankets and take refuge in the warmth of the sun beneath😌
Trust the storm will be over soon because they always are, no matter how long it takes💗

There’s two phrases I live by:
1. “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best” it’s something my father has said to me ever since I can remember anything at all. He says we must always be aware of the possibility of error and be prepared for it however we should never stop believing in the possibility of success and always stay hopeful!
2. “this too shall pass” it’s just a good way of remembering that what now can seem like the end of the world will end up feeling just like a medium sized problem in a few months and eventually it will feel like nothing in a few years. All problems are valid problems however you must remember that time can heal all wounds.

last year, albeit fantastic, has been a strange one. amidst a large quantity of new people, and new experiences, my life has changed quite drastically.
i had a hard time with this, as many do, and spoke to my mom, and my therapist, at length about this before eventually finding that despite my non-existent contentment with this change, it would not stop.
me learning to take a tiny step back and adapt to the change, rather than trying to continue life as if it had not shifted, was a real turning point for me.
all that being said, it is considerably difficult to "go with the flow" when the change is particularly life altering. however, even if it may feel like these changes may stop your earth from turning, the world will not cease to spin, and time will not stop.
hope you had a good day today 🐫
p.s. something else that helped me was trying to be extra grateful for the constants in my life!

The Shawshank Redemption
The Pursuit of Happyness
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The first two recommendations are quite obvious because of their endings but with Fantastic Mr. Fox it’s different because I consider it a comfort movie to me. From its great soundtrack to the constant quotes we can use on the daily.

Cousin Richie from The Bear
2024 started off terrible for me. I was working a terrible job (night shift) and felt like I had no friends. I was miserable and hated life and compared myself to everyone and their mother. In May I started a new job that I deeply enjoy, made some amazing new friends, became closer with the friends that have stuck by me and like ”cousin” at 24 years old I have fallen in love with living.
