We can't be sad about the past- instead we should appreciate the life we are living now. Has anyone else been feeling introspective with the transition to Fall or is it my SAD? Would love to hear how you are kind to yourself for decisions your younger self made. #millenial #mentalwellness #midlife
this is in line with Levinson's 'Midlife Transition' stage. It's totally normal to feel anxiety and reevaluate your choices and your direction. While I was bullying myself about my past, my friend gave me this advice, 'Why look back when you're not even that person anymore'?
In my Career Development class this morning I learned that there's a name for what I've been feeling- I've found myself looking back on my youth and wishing I had done things differently- like complete college at 'traditional' age. This isn't abnormal though! To any other millenials feeling alone-
I just watched it last night actually- it was a mixed bag for sure but I think that’s James Gunn right? 😅😅
@uptotask.bsky.social I was looking at the comic starter pack to find some kindred spirits and I saw you mention Wizard in your profile! I used to be obsessed with Wizard and wanted to work there so bad. I just wanted to hey and thanks for the smile! I think I still have a copy somewhere lol.
Gentle reminder, you are more than your mistakes; like the moon, we all go through phases. We should strive to treat ourselves with the same kindness and compassion that we show others.

WOW! That's great- so what is your anniversary date for this endeavor? What inspired you to start painting every day?
I just found your zine from one of your contributing artists! This is amazing! I'm going to keep my eyes open for future posts- tell me about what kind of art you're looking to have submitted.
I love the colors in this piece- it has such a tranquil vibe! What watercolors do you use? I love how you were able to make the sand look wet where the birds are!
Love the trees and the mountain face- How long did this take you?

It's easy to feel disillusioned sometimes, or like you're not enough, but I want to remind you that your existence makes a difference. I wish you a beautiful day full of sushine and don't forget, rainbows come after the rain! #goodvibes #youmatter #natureasmedicine #positivity #dailyinspo #selflove
