    Thank you for sharing your thoughts! There’s so much pressure in the world nowadays, even from ourselves because that’s what we see everyday and that’s what we think is normal, but it is NOT. I constantly have the feeling like I don’t have energy to even work fulltime, but I’m afraid to act on it… I’m struggling so much with my focus and happiness lately and I really have the feeling like I’m not feeling my best ALL THE TIME. So if you have any tips or want to share something that will maybe help, let me know ❤

      Hey my lovely, I totally agree, we’ve been inundated with information, ideas, other people’s definition of what is right to do and what our path should look like, even before phones. I think we just have to be really careful that we never take online content of other people’s lives and success at face value. There is always a different reality behind the camera, even in my videos! My week might look really fun, but a lot of it I’m sat on the sofa on my laptop in pyjamas, with not much food in the fridge and slept in late lol.
      I don’t work full time at the moment because I don’t have many bills or responsibilities and I wanted to prioritise time with family and being available to them more often. I don’t regret that one bit. If you feel your quality of life is affected by your work, I love the idea of finding something less demanding whilst is serves you.
      The more time you have to focus on you and things you’ve never had time to do before, the more attuned you’ll feel in the future towards making decisions that are rooted in what YOU want 🩷
      My only advice is, if you know you want to do something from a place of genuine intrigue and value to yourself, it doesn’t matter what other people feel towards it. It’s your decision and if it doesn’t impact people beyond you in a negative way, tune them out until you reap the benefits.
      I have no clue if that’s helpful or even answers your questions, I had to ignore slight criticisms from family in the beginning and over time they now have Admiration for the fact I did/do things differently! Xxxx

    I really love your perspective on this! I have the same thoughts about people making out like travelling in your early 20s is the most important thing in the world and you HAVE to do it and if you don’t you’ve somehow not lived properly. You’ve really inspired me to start shopping with creativity in mind/ second hand - its so important to do things that nourish our souls and contribute positively to the world ❤️

      @@Ella-fg7vn oh my gosh this came up for me this week too! This over dramatisation of the need to go travelling at this stage in my life. It actually doesn’t appeal to me with a low amount of savings. I’d prefer to do well thought out holidays at the moment. In the future, if we want something enough, we can plan for it and work towards it, but this rushed and excessive approach to life isn’t necessary!! So so true. I’m really glad you relate and don’t feel pressure to do things that other people deem important. Xxxxx

      Thank you for commenting this, I was nervous to put this out there as I know it’s not the most popular take on success and goals etc, It’s lovely to know I’m not alone 🥹🩵

    You don’t have to be part pf producer-consumer society. Keep up a low key lifestyle, it is up to you.
