For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

what's important now: i never really felt like a real grown up until now. i left my parents house at 18, started working at 19 and never stopped since, moved houses 7 times since that, worked at 4 places, had 2 relationships. but only last year (when my saturn return started) things started to settle down. only last year everything started to make sense, it was only then that i felt like i had gained control over my life somehow. and now i am so focused on things that MATTER. working, visiting my family, enjoying my time with my boyfriend and friends, rebuilding my reading habits, taking care of my health, exercizing, dedicating myself to my hobbies, taking care of my house... i want to know that i am LIVING. i am really alive and i want to embrace this fact as a gift, as a miracle. but i still waste so much of my time doing things that simply dont matter!!!! not that i think i should be productive all the time but i really think that staring at the wall for 30 minutes can be better than spending 30 minutes on instagram most of the times. idk what happens to time when i sit on my phone for so long, i just know that i feel like i'm constantly missing LIFE. i'm looking for a place to live by myself now and i want to make it feel like home, and i hope that this is the final step i need to take to actually become fully present in my own life. the less i waste here the better...

but what is really weird is simply controlling myself not to expose any useless thought or part of my day online (like i'm doing rn) bc i've been doing this since i was 12?? idk wanting to post stuff online is so automatic... i already feel uncomfortable doing that on my ig so i dont feel like doing it there anyway, i'll never go back to twitter and now i'm abandoning here too. so my thoughts pretty much have nowhere to go if i dont speak to anyone about them and most of the time they're just random and useless so i actually dont... and i only write down what's actually important, same with therapy... it all feels very liberating but sometimes i miss typing random shit and sharing it with strangers! (though now it seems weirder and weirder)
