If I could go back and tell her one thing, it would be this: never stress about anything, because everything eventually finds its way.

Back then, I was such a stressed person, and honestly, I think a part of me still is. I have a mind that thinks a lot, and sometimes all that thinking turns into absolute chaos, even when it doesn’t need to. At twenty, I was just waiting for everything to be perfect. I held onto this impossible standard, constantly obsessing over details and driving myself crazy trying to control the uncontrollable.

Now, seven years later, I’ve finally started to catch the vibe. I am so much better than I was at twenty. I’m learning to stop stressing and obsessing. I’ve reached a point where I can look at my life and say: good enough is enough.

It took a lot of hard work to reach this mindset, and truth be told, I’m still figuring out how to stay grounded in it every single day. But I’m embracing the reality that I am completely human. I can make mistakes. I can’t always find an immediate way out of every situation, and it is entirely okay to take a step back. Perfection was an exhausting illusion anyway. Being human is so much more beautiful.

Current Mood: Growing, breathing, and unlearning the chaos.

Currently Thinking: Perfection is overrated; being human is enough.
