Appreciation: so there i was, in line at a bookstore. the clerk offers me a vintage first edit…

if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that it is okay to take a step back and breathe. this moment is tough, but it does not define your whole journey. #SelfCare #KeepGoing

so there i was, in line at a bookstore. the clerk offers me a vintage first edition of a book i love, and i say no. why? i’m already stressing about my takeout order from last week that i *totally forgot to pay*. now i'm home staring at the crumpled takeout receipt, wishing i could take back that book. turns out the universe hates me, and the book’s already sold. good job, me. instead of reading on a cozy couch, i’m trying to ignore the growing pile of unpaid bills. it’s almost like saying no was my way of ensuring i never get to escape reality.

if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that it is okay to not have everything figured out. this storm will pass, and in time, you will find your footing again. take it one moment at a time and trust that brighter days are ahead. #HopeExists #YouAreNotAlone
