childhood ipod

A few days ago I found my old iPod touch and I was able to charge and go through all the stuff I had on there. It’s so surreal to see what I liked and had interest in as a kid. How much that has changed and stayed the same, I don’t always remember little details like that. Feeling lucky that I came across my very own time capsule. I highly suggest finding yours. Also shared that with my parents and starting talking about simple social media (like most people are longing for) and also feel so lucky that I found this platform.

being nostalgic in the moment

i’m a very nostalgic and sentimental person. i feel that i’ve lived a majority of my life in my head, and i find that i enjoy the past more than i ever enjoy the present. i don’t think nostalgia is a bad thing, but i can definitely fall into feeling sad because i’m yearning for different eras of my life (here’s the kicker- even if i know i was actually miserable during that time, but now that i’m slightly more removed, i’ve romanticized the experience) well the other day my mom and i talked about the idea of being nostalgic for the moment you’re currently in. notice all of the little details that are creating the experience you’re having, and be grateful that you live a life that’s worth remembering and looking back on. file that moment away, so then, weeks/months/years from now when you’re looking back on this moment, you’ll know that you experienced it fully.

everything non digital

i am nostalgic for wHen the world had weight. when memories weren’t just saved but heLd. receipts folded like secret letTers / coins scraped together in sweaty palms / counted twice - just enough for ice cream. i miss the peRmanence of ink on paper / the way library books carried the scent of stRangers / the way a handwritten note felt heavier than a hundred unread messages. there was something reAl in the effort. rewinding a cassette to hear your favorite song agAin / flipping through photo albums with smudged fIngerprints / taping concert setlists to bedroom walls - as if pinning the moment in plAce. now things slip through fingers like liGht. tickets are qr codes, letters are piXels, memories exist in the cloud, weightless and waitIng, but never quite ours to hold.

Learning which celebrities share the same big three as you

There’s just something really energizing knowing that me, Megan Fox, and the Late Elizabeth II share something moderately specific. 🌞Taurus 🌜Leo ✨Capricorn

trusting your intuition

You don’t need to suffer to prove that you’re a good person. You don’t have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you don’t have to keep dating that person you’re not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I’m not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isn’t. That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.

Reframing quitting as successful completion

I’m tired of jumping through hoops and reframing my mounting dread everyday as ‘an opportunity to make a change‘. I’m tired of thinking that only if I tried harder, or was better or did something different that I would have a better outcome. At what point do you stop trying to jam the same puzzle piece in the same spot and say, “Hmm maybe this doesn’t fit!” Am I quitting trying to be an ever optimizing and improving version of myself? Maybe. OR have I successfully gotten what I wanted out of this experience and can peacefully move on without remorse? I think in 2025 I’m going to start choosing the latter.
