Maybe it’s just my frontal lobe developing but I’ve been really simplifying the aesthetics of my life lately… no more dyed hair or heavy makeup… pared back outfits, plain nails and switching auto-caps back on…. Investing in the quality and durability of things/people in my life rather than the folly of aesthetic currency.
Theres something awesome about feeling like I’m enough as a person on the inside without trying so hard to reflect it on the outside. I don’t have to be the most interesting person in a room anymore! I can just be :)

it is so freeing to not have your ear to the ground of what is on trend or hip for the time being, and tbh I have saved myself a lot of time, money, and perhaps sanity for just not leaning into being too plugged in, some tangible examples:
- no flimsy impulse purchases, mainly tangible well made things (clothing, electronics, furniture)
- reading very little, but just enough news to know what’s going on, avoid entertainment news/snark/discourse machines
- do things cause I feel like it (dance, laugh loudly, smile) and enjoy it all, never act like I’m above it all

Things are popular for a reason. Give urself the freedom to be basic sometimes. Nothing ever became a cliché because it wasn't true 🤷♀️🤷♀️

just try taking the bus with no stimulation… no phone no book at MOST your headphones just on noise control mode…. be amazed at how many thoughts you think and how wonderful the world outside your window is <3

I truly believe the only way to appreciate the times that life feels good is to have some designated wallowing time a couple times a month. What I mean by this is just letting yourself feel like a piece of shit and getting through it all anyways. Right now I feel like garbage but my routine continues - I just do it WHILE feeling my feelings. Repression and avoidance is as stupid as holding ur hand in front of your face to shield from a rainstorm. Let all flow like water baby ✌️🌧
