okay so hear me out…

Okay, let me start off by saying this isn't gonna be a long one because i have 3 assignments due and a whole lot of homework. Love that for me!!

Anyways, i've been thinking about starting a faceless youtube channel. Yes, another random idea added to the collection of things i want to do but haven't actually started yet.

I just think it'd be fun to have a little creative project outside of school, and youtube seems interesting. I haven't figured out what kind of content i'd make yet, so for now it's just an idea floating around in my head.

But knowing me, i'll probably spend hours planning everything, come up with a name, design the whole aesthetic and then suddenly want to start a completely different project. We'll see.

Anyways, read my latest letter on Life's Little Letters if you need to catch up on what's been going on lately!

AND TELL ME WHY I'VE BEEN GONE FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AND I HAVE 30 FOLLOWERS??? WTF THANK YOU 😭💗 i genuinely don't even know how to feel, like excuse me?? 30 PEOPLE??? actually insane. i know it might not sound like a lot to some people, but it means so much to me that you're here and actually want to read the random things i put on this blog. i appreciate every single one of you, seriously. ♡

Maybe I’m Not Behind

Hii loves,

It’s been a week, which is pretty great because I’m actually staying consistent with updating the blog!! (I have a thing where I let go of my hobbies after a few weeks, so this is already an achievement....)

I’ll start off by saying that I’ve updated the blog a little bit! My favorite page is probably Life’s Little Letters. You can find it on the navigation bar, it’s the little bouquet ♡

But back to the topic for today...

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I feel like I’m behind on things. Like, there are so many things I want to do, places I want to go, hobbies I want to try and experiences I want to have, but somehow there’s never enough time for everything.

And maybe you guys feel the same way?

Maybe I’m not actually behind. Maybe everything is just going at my own pace, and the reason things keep getting pushed back is because we’re gaining SO much knowledge and experiencing so many new things at the same time.

School alone feels like learning 500 new things every two weeks haha. And then there’s everything outside of school too friendships, hobbies, figuring yourself out, thinking about the future, trying new things, and also just... actually living.

Sometimes I look at other people and think, “Wait, why am I not doing that yet?” or “Shouldn’t I have figured this out by now?”

But realistically, we’re all doing things for the first time.

So maybe I don’t need to rush everything.

Maybe I can start that hobby a little later. Maybe I can experience something next year instead of this year. Maybe some things getting pushed back doesn’t mean they’re never going to happen.

And honestly, I think I need to remind myself of that more often.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re behind too, maybe you’re not. Maybe you’re just going at your own speed. ♡

Anywayyy, that’s my little thought for today. I’d actually love to know if any of you have felt like this too, because I feel like it’s something we probably think about way more than we talk about.

See you in the next one loves ♡

xoxo,

Your death is more guaranteed than your wedding, so instead of looking for your soulmate, how about look for your soul?

I recently stumbled upon this quote when I was doomscrolling on TikTok. We all do it. But this quote really caught me. It felt like an opening, if you could say that, to a thought I had never really considered before. 

Because we spend so much of our lives looking for someone. Someone to love us, someone to grow old with, someone who makes us feel complete. We are constantly told that there is a “right person” out there waiting for us. But what if we stopped searching for that person for a moment and started searching for ourselves? 

We can become so focused on finding love that we forget to actually live. We wait for someone to come along before we allow ourselves to feel fulfilled, as if our life is only truly beginning once we have someone to share it with. 

But you are still a whole person on your own. 

Maybe finding your “soul” means figuring out who you are when nobody else is watching. What makes you happy? What are you passionate about? What kind of person do you want to become? What makes you feel alive? 

There is something strangely comforting about realizing that your life does not have to revolve around finding someone else. You can build a life that feels meaningful before anyone comes into it. And maybe, ironically, that is the whole point. 

Instead of spending all your time looking for someone to complete your life, spend some of that time creating a life you don't feel the need to escape from. 

Because at the end of the day, you are the one person you will spend your entire life with. So maybe it's worth getting to know yourself.
