relax – Wants

I started this blog because I wanted to be a better reader and stronger writer

Keywords: Reading & Writing

Another goal that I set is to be more laid back and more genuine in my posts – because this blog is still so new, I feel like I’ve been a bit stilted and have been holding back. It’s difficult because I only get little spurts of writing time with two babies running around, so I just try to get the basics out and then hit PUBLISH. My thought is that now that I’m working only part-time, there will be more time to put into this!

I want to be that carefree and relaxed woman

Keywords: {0}

I understand that not hustling is a luxury but slowing down is also a choice. What we need to strive for is a balance.

My number one struggle at the moment seems to be that I want to do so many things before I hit the next big age

Keywords: 2025 , blog , life , mental-health , twenties , welcomeback , writing

For me, those wonderful moments are made up of spending time with my friends, running, reading, writing and being outside, open to the world and everything it has to offer. There is so much to see and technically so little time to do it in. So this is why I’ve decided that instead of worrying about whether I’ll ever be able to afford a house, the right age to get married and when to stop spending all my money on take-out coffees, I’ll embrace the rest of my twenties and let life figure itself out for now. Cheers to our twenties!

I’ve ALWAYS known that I wanted to travel

Keywords: {0}

I am a planner. I want to see as much as humanly possible. I have but three weeks of vacation a year. I wish I could be more chill (in all aspects of life hehe), but time is of the essence and I wanna see sh*t 🤷🏽‍♀️

I almost forgot about the way I wanted to live

Keywords: Lifestyle , countryside , Rethink life , self-care , Slow down , Step back , Stillness

Here I am again. Not as exhausted as before, but somehow tired of trying too much. When I was thinking about this, ironically, I remembered the name of my blog and my original intention of living at a slower pace in a world that encourages competitiveness and a fast rhythm.

I’ll definitely revisit this later and do some editing and figure out how I want to structure my posts, because my perfectionist brain is screaming at me to have some sense of structure and plot to this project, but honestly right now I am just enjoying ranting to the void about whatever comes into my very overfilled-with-useless-information brain

Keywords: chaos , fuck adulting , personal , rant , scatterbrain

I’m now most likely going to go back to trawling linkedin for translation opportunities because apparently I am not a good person if I am not productive and contributing to capitalism in some way, shape or form. Fucking adulting. What a drag.

I want to be the best

I have to value progress over perfection. And taking care of oneself is always progress.

I’m thinking in the village and cottage I’d want a major project to work on as I would have the time

Keywords: home , prompts , choices , cottage , experiences , journaling , regrets , say yes , wins

I’m trying to live with fewer regrets so renting a cottage filled this void. Something I had never done before so try it. There is nothing to lose. Well, I had a relaxing week of reading, painting, sitting on the deck doing nothing and walking the beach. I enjoyed it. I needed it. This was not what I was expecting but hello what I needed.

I want to work on creating a boundary where I can still get the work I need to do done, but also live my life outside of school

Keywords: {0}

I also want to work on slowing down and truly living, meaning less phone screen time, taking my time with meals, and going to new places, trying new things. Another big goal of mine is, while still trying to maintain this slowing down, to continue content creation. It has fulfilled the artistic and extroverted side of me and brings me more joy than I thought it would originally. So, feel free to continue following along on my journey!
