"More often than not, we are floating atop of life because it’s too tiring to swim." This. THIS!!!

Yesterday I came across the phrase "learning as a replacement to doing". Now reading your letter I wonder if we search, in an unconscious effort to avoid facing, making, starting somewhere.

I've been looking for a job since September of 2022. In my inbox, much like yours, there is a myriad of emails sent that lead nowhere, or where I was flat out rejected. When sorting my inbox, I called it "opportunities - with no answer". Like that flat shell.

Mary Oliver might be right. Maybe deep down I don't want the answers, I want solutions and fixes that won't do much because life's not a math equation.

Glad to reach the end and be able to say, happy birthday tara!!! Much love, as always.

I turn 27 in a few weeks and this really felt like a warm blanket. As a once very serious adult-like child, getting older has become a project of embracing childlike wonder 💗🌷

You're words are soo comforting to read and I'm glad I made the Choice to read it after waking up.its a pleasing surprise to find out you are one year younger than me because with all the honesty and vulnerability you shared it made me assume you were much older but its beautiful to see you being 23 and soo much wiser. Being 24 I feel feel so young but also so old and I'm stuck between these two,its nice to know another human from the other side of the globe shares my thoughts (and they can articulate it much better than I could) I'm rooting for you and I'm rooting for everyone else that's in this boat with us💜May the Universe fill our days with ease and love towards ourselves and each other.
