you have to choose to make life more enjoyable, by continuously finding joy in everything, appreciating little things & finding things to look forward to.
be full of whimsy, romanticise it all, itโs the only way to get through life, the harsh realities & difficult times.
Maybe the happy ending is that you fall in love with your life, eat your favorite foods, admire sunrise and sunsets, pick up the books you've been trying to finish, dance to your favorite songs, buy yourself flowers. Bringing your mind back to how blessed you are.
2026 will be the year where we all learn to be more present and getting back to the fun stuff. We are going to witness a lot of shifts in how we approach life. There is going to be a desire to have more adventures and finding what is that makes us truly happy.
Uncommon advice: If you don't know what to pursue in life right now. Pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.
i think one of the healthiest things i've ever learned is that you should allow others to reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Give people space to become who they are without assuming you know who they are just because you've been friends/family for years.
I just want my whole nervous system to finally rest in 2026. I want my heart to stop racing every day, I want to get out of that constant fight-or-flight mode, and I just want real peace. Iโm begging for a year where my spirit can breathe, my mind can slow down, and my life finally makes sense along with the people thatโs in it.
you really donโt know how much your life has changed until you read your journal or look at your older pictures. iโll continue to gift myself these experiences because they always make me feel so full.
Acts of service is fast becoming my favorite love language. As someone who sometimes struggles with asking for help, Iโm always so happy when people do things for me without me asking, just to make my life easier.
