Finding someone who genuinely values you, cares for you on a soul level, believes in your dreams, sees you, and is invested in your growth is such a special experience. Recognize its rarity, cherish it, and nurture it with all the love and care it deserves.

I’m 33 and feel this way so I’m def out here tripping but this is a beautiful post. Society wants us all to feel like weirdo aliens but when brave ppl speak up and are transparent, we all get to take a deep breath and I love that for us. @recomvery bless you girl 😘

The most soul crushing thing is being in your mid to late 20's and comparing yourself with your peers. One of them is married, one has an amazing job, one just bought a house, one is pregnant, one is very successful. And you look at yourself and you have none of these accomplishments, you still feel like a kid inside, you're the same age but really you feel so much younger, so behind. You're living in different worlds, different lives, so far apart. And you observe them and all you want is to be like them, all grown, all independant and functional. And then the fear creeps in: What if I will never get there? What if my mental issues are always gonna keep me in the same place? And that feeling, that huge fear and doubt and incapability, I wonder if that's what they meant when they talk about a "quarter life crisis". You're gonna get there, in your own time. This is a normal experience millions of people our age have and have always had. It will be ok.

The average annual income in the town I live in is $34,000…and all of the homes that are actually livable are at least $200,000……it’s ridiculous…and the homes that are less than this are fixer uppers……how bro? How did I just spend $190,000 on a home that I still have to fix up? Almost no one in this town can afford any of the homes that are currently for sale.

One step at a time. You can do it all, just not at once.

Getting a weird little hobby is actually so important bc it opens your eyes up to the world. You start crocheting or knitting, and how you see scarves and sweaters differently. You try identifying plants, now you’re seeing opposite and alternate leaf pattern. Bird watching? Every chirp draws attention and interest.

Get into weird little hobbies.
