quilting a blanket or a jacket? intimidating. thrifting a 2 hour mini quilting project book and finding over 75 mini patterns to create cute little quilts to potentially turn into totes or mini tapestries to hang in your room? still intimidating but i think we can all agree it's significantly less scary than the first option.
i thought it would be much harder than it is but cutting little shapes out of scrap fabric and sewing them on has made me feel like a little kid in art class in elementary school in the best way. and a bonus is i found all the scrap fabric in every color i needed at Seattle ReCreative, a thrift store for craft supplies, for $3!!!
i'm currently working on the Pine Tree Retreat pattern!

when i was younger i would wake up and just sit up in bed staring at literally nothing for five mins, just letting thoughts pass me by and not focusing on anything in particular -- truly a great way to start the day is to sit in silence and stillness for a few mins (in hindsight i may have stumbled into meditation without meaning to but suffice to say i'm doing this again now and it's the best!)

lots of great responses in this thread! just wanted to say that true change takes so much longer than we expect it to. I started on a journey of “changing my life” and my attitude towards it back in 2020, and its only now in 2024 that I’m starting to see major changes that I can trace back to that original decision to improve my life. Sure, there’s been lots of rewarding little milestones along the way, but the big things take time.
The lesson is, don’t be hard on yourself if you make changes but your life isn’t tangibly improved next month. Make changes for your long-term future self :)

i'm talking The Dreamers, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Before Sunrise. Movies just don't hit like that when you see them for the first time when you're already grown
