You know what I realized. I have a sad feeling regarding the fact that the little child version of myself would not at all be proud of me as 20 something. All the things I was like I can’t wait do THAT when I’m older, I’m gonna be THIS type of person and I’m gonna have THESE things. Nope lol. But like why would I have the same perspective now as that insane preteen? Did I ever even take a second and ask myself if I even agree with her anymore before deciding I must have failed? Gotta stop hitting ā€œupdate laterā€ when I get the newsest IOS notif in the MacBook of my mind.

i like taking psychology because it puts a pseudo intellectual spin on things we all accept are just…normal. want to feel included? you’re a sheeple of ODT, you little assimilator. i do not want to be young again to feel as though my life is longer or my stress is less, it isn’t even really missed opportunity. when i was 13 i made the biggest mistake of my life and walked into it knowing it would be the biggest mistake of my life. it made me feel silly that such a life altering decision was perpetuated by a ā€œteenagerā€, but i, in my endless wisdom, promised my future self i would always act the best i could given the information i had. i did this so i wouldn’t look back at 13 year old amalia screaming and crying that i could’ve done something different. thats a hard feeling to shake, and yes, it is so so hard to take things as they are and truly recognize all we can do is act dependent on what we know and who we are. i wish i studied harder for my math final. i wish i wasnt such a bitch. i wish i would’ve been kinder to 13 year old amalia like i promised her i would, and i hope she knows i do not resent her for that (awful) decision

I could dream a few years ahead, but I never really could imagine my life as an adult. I certainly did not imagine I would be married with kids and working as a therapist. As a kid I wanted to be a vet, as a teen a photographer. In my late teens/early 20s I kind of just assumed I was going to be dead by the time I was 25… Kind of dark, but there was actually truth to it because the life I was living became very unsustainable, and I had to change everything. Probably a mix of personality/age/trauma that I couldn’t long term plan, but now I’m better at it! For the record, if I met adult me as a kid I think I would love me.

I’m about to turn 30 and idk if my 21 year old self would approve of where I’m at—but my 6 year old self sure as hell would!! I think a lot of life is finding your way back to Little You. Being 21 is so so hard, and in college you’re first starting to see that you can’t judge your progress based on other people. Even though that’s how you were taught to judge yourself up until this point. The things you want now probably won’t matter to you in a few years, and for me that would have sounded terrifying at 21. But that doesn’t mean the things you want now aren’t important. You can think of it in terms of tattoos. If you get a tattoo at 16 it’s not because you know it will represent you always and forever—it’s to commemorate a moment, a feeling of boldness you wanted to wear proudly. And down the line you don’t look at it with regret, but a softness for that younger part of you. Feel your feelings fully in this moment! Be bold with what you care about! Every age is special. Practical advice: Try to listen to your body and not your head. Do I actually like how I feel spending time with this person? Am I going through the motions of this hobby because I think it will service something else? Does xyz come naturally to me, or does it feel forced? No action needed. This exercise isn’t about flipping your life upside down, just take notice of how your body feels in certain situations. Start to notice when you’re in fight or flight versus happy and free. Find the ease and follow it
