I’ve changed my mind about trying to fix or change people. For a long time, I thought if I said the right thing or showed up in the right way, I could steer things or save someone from their own patterns. But I’ve realized you can’t control anyone. You can only take responsibility for yourself. That shift has been freeing. Now I focus on my part, on growing and being clear about what I need.
I’ve been there for almost 10 years and had an incredible boss who just believed in his staff so much. I looked forward to going to work and didn’t even really feel like it was a job most days.
Then he got cancer and died, and while all the rest of the staff is still there, the change has completely turned the workplace culture upside down. There’s a hierarchy now, and an attitude like we are cogs of a machine. People are competitive and lack trust, and there isn’t any teamwork anymore.
I used to hate them, never included them as a part of my diet. But my bf is a vegetarian and I love sharing food whenever I go out. So I’ve been trying veg food and it’s not bad! In fact, hummus is in my top 5 foods
Finding love does not have to be my main purpose. There are lots of other things of importance, like spending time with family and friends and exploring new hobbies. When I was younger I genuinely thought I wouldn’t be able to survive without love in my life but hey, it seems to be working fine.

Moving into an apartment rather than a house with my boyfriend
How enjoyable pregnancy is. Always thought it would cause me non-stop anxiety but I feel really calm every day
My job.

Eating vegetables and vegetarian foods.

Working out—like, OK I’ll do it damnnn!

I used to not think that it was a big deal for men to not show me signs of affection in the forms of flowers, gifts, or other sweet and tangible ways.
But now, NOW, I understand that actions are key. These things ARE important, and dagnabit, I deserve them 🥹
