you just gotta keep living(l i v i n)

Hey,

I hope you’re doing well and growing in whatever way matters most to you right now.

Stepping into the second half of 2025, I feel surprisingly calm. Even though there are a lot of fires burning around me (I’m probably on fire too to be honest), I have kinda just become comfortable in this uncomfortable space. I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to be doing.

What gives me the most confidence is reflection. Every year, I look back and realize I felt like the world was ending or that I was facing some impossible challenge. But I made it through. Every time. And will continue to.

Instead of carrying the weight of doubt, stress, and uncertainty, I focus on being intentional with my thoughts, words, and actions by actively thinking, speaking, and doing things that bring positivity into my life. I’ve learned that peace of mind doesn’t come from trying to conquer everything around me. It comes from accepting that I can’t control it all. I can only control myself, and that alone is a task worthy of my full attention.

So yeah, more living, less stressing. More doing shit, less overthinking shit. I’ll live through it, then I’ll tell you the story.
