What am I most excited about for the future?
Freedom.
Excited? Me? About a Closet Room and Financial Stability? ABSOLUTELY.
If you asked 10-year-old me what I’d be excited about at 26, I probably would’ve said something iconic like,
“Traveling the world with a sparkly suitcase and dating someone who looks like a boyband member.”
But here I am.
Excited…
about freedom.
Like, actual freedom.
Like, “this is my apartment, my closet room, my iced coffee in my fridge because I paid for it” kind of freedom. 💳✨
Right now, I live with my family.
Yes, it’s cozy. Yes, there’s dinner. Yes, sometimes my laundry magically folds itself.
But do I feel like a full adult?
No.
Do I feel like I’m living my own life?
Also no.
I’m 26 and sometimes still feel like I’m waiting for the adult version of me to show up — you know, the one with a linen robe, a morning matcha (i don’t like it) routine, and rent payments that don’t make her cry.
But let’s talk facts:
The economy is a joke — and not a funny one.
Living alone is a luxury now, and teaching?
It feeds my soul… but not my bank account.
What I want is my own space.
My own energy.
My own closet room, because duh.
For my clothes. My shoes. My sneakers that multiply when I’m not looking.
And while I’m dreaming of that freedom — let it be known:
I’m dressing for the version of me that no longer tolerates nonsense — summer skirts, fresh iced coffee, and peace as an accessory. 👗🧊🕊️
Because even if I don’t have my own apartment yet, I do have the vibe.
Think: a breezy white linen skirt, a pink crop top that says “Don’t text your ex” with its whole chest, chunky sneakers that practically scream “self-worth,” and iced coffee in hand like it’s my birthright.
That girl? She’s on a budget, but she walks like she owns the lease and the Spotify playlist.
And even though I can’t afford it yet, I feel it coming.
That independent, dreamy, strong, responsible girl life?
Yeah — she’s on her way. I can feel it in my iced Americano.
So what am I most excited about for the future?
Freedom.
And maybe a full-length mirror that doesn’t live next to my mom’s coats.
Next up: An ode to summer dresses, iced coffees, and the art of looking emotionally stable even when you’re not. 👗🥹✨
