@ShaneStoffer Aside from the fact that I’m not 24 (I’m 32) and I’m a mom — I love painting with watercolor and acrylics, I published a book on Amazon, sell clothes on Depop, am a cam girl, and love video games and weight lifting! Also into gardening! Volunteering occasionally too.
I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
People who keep rocks for no reason, who touch leaves when they walk by, who stop to watch insects like it actually matters, who feel calmer the moment they step into nature… you’re my type of people.
We live on a planet where trees communicate, octopuses dream, elephants honor their dead, bees dance to find their way, crows remember, ants build, cats heal with their purring, and the forest, after the fire, blooms again.
I'm 37. Instead of regretting that I can't wake up age 18 again, I pretend to myself that I'm 90 and I've woken up age 37 again, and that I get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.
