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-

@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.

Some nights you just sit and let the stars do the talking. Boost if you're going to sit and watch the meteor shower with frog tonight. #WNCVibes #AppalachianEvening #PorchLife #FrogArt #MountainMagic #Folkcore #NatureAndWhimsy #SlowLiving #BlueskyArt #GTSF #zine #acrylic #meteorshower #stargazing

A green frog sitting in an adirondack style chair reclining and enjoying the night. He's on his porch and the full moon is shining down on some clouds and gently illuminating the scene. There are trees and mountains in the distant night and you can see some summertime constellations in the sky. It's very peaceful and serene.
