Jumping back into the chaos 🌪️🌟

Alright, here we go. I sat down to write this, and honestly? I had zero clue what to talk about. Literally nothing came to mind. But then I figured—why not just roll with it? Sometimes life feels a bit like that, doesn’t it? A bit chaotic, a bit all over the place, but somehow, it all comes together in the end.

So, school/homeschool/work is back, and I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely feeling a mix of “finally, structure!” and “what is going on?!” One second I’m lounging around during the winter break, and the next, I’m drowning in life, trying to remember how to actually function. It’s mad how quickly we go from chilled vibes to full-on chaos mode, isn’t it?

But here’s the thing about this time of year—it’s like, you’ve got all these goals, right? A fresh start, new opportunities, high hopes. And that’s exciting, but it’s also kind of... a lot. Like, I’ve got this weird habit of hyping myself up to be amazing at literally everything, only to then feel completely drained before I’ve even started. Anyone else?

I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves. It’s like we’re all trying to prove we’ve got it together, but truth is, no one does. And honestly? That’s okay. Life’s messy. It’s up and down. It’s exciting and exhausting all at once. But maybe we don’t have to have it all figured out straight away. Maybe the best thing we can do is just... take it day by day and celebrate the little things.

For example—and don’t laugh—I’m getting a retainer/Invisalign soon. I know, not exactly groundbreaking, but I’m actually really excited. It’s a small step, but it’s a step, right? And I reckon that’s what life’s about—those tiny victories. They might seem silly, but they add up. And if we can stop stressing about everything we haven’t done yet, and start cheering ourselves on for the stuff we have done, life feels a bit lighter.

So, here’s my point (finally, I know): don’t let the pressure of being perfect get to you. None of us have it all together, and that’s totally fine. This year, let’s try to be a bit kinder to ourselves. Celebrate the wins, even if they’re small. Made it through a rough week? Win. Got out of bed when you didn’t feel like it? Win. Didn’t forget your headphones/keys? Massive win.

We’re all in this together, figuring it out one day at a time. So take it easy on yourself, yeah? And remember: messy, chaotic, beautiful life is still life. You’ve got this.

Remember your worth,
