it’s normal to expect teenagers to decide the rest of their life (their major, career trajectory, specialty) but… 😭✋🏻 how??? i was very confident when i chose ballet but i’m glad i decided to carve my own path afterwards.

if you’re going through a quarter life crisis, career pivot, or still figuring it out, just know that i am here for you! we are in this together! 🙂‍↕️💗

there are soooooo many times i just want to skip to the end — when watching a show, reading a book, making a video, and on and on. but!! i’m learning to pause and take a note from my younger self. 🫂 because the most rewarding aspect is often through the experience of it rather than the end result. 🕺

cringe is an unavoidable and without it there is no discomfort, discovery, or development. 🙂‍↔️ so yes, allllll the cringe-y moments as a teenager helped create who you are now (in the best way!).

REVIEW: since you’ve been gone, by morgan matson

REVIEW + DISCUSSION: isla and the happily ever after; stephanie perkins
