You haven’t yet…

Sometimes when the bullshit crushing weights of anti aging culture gets to me and I feel like my best years are behind me, I think about my life some arbitrary amount of time in the past and remember all the ways my life has changed since.

5 years ago? I hadn’t met one of my now best friends yet. “COVID” meant nothing to me 😂 I had never broken a bone or had surgery. I didn’t have my kittens.

15 years ago? I lived in a different city 1100 miles away and would have NEVER imagined where I moved. I’ve gotten degrees and married since.

20 years ago? I hadn’t discovered my life’s passion. I was so naive. Hell, I didn’t even have most of the basic life skills yet that I now survive on. My head was so noisy with unhelpful stuff.

If I’ve grown so much since…if those are the kind of things that HAVE happened, who knows what COULD happen?

If anyone else needs it, just think…

•you probably haven’t yet met all the people you will love in your life.

•you probably haven’t yet discovered all the hobbies and activities that will bring you immense joy.

•you probably haven’t yet felt all the feelings you’ll come to feel.

•you probably haven’t yet seen all the things that will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

I don’t know…seems like if we face life with some of these thoughts forefront of mind, we’ll be more likely to get the most of it anyway 💕
