i’m in the same boat! just graduated from my BA and trying to “find” myself through the old things i liked to do or didn’t have time for.it’s kind of hard since my days have no structure, though D:

congratulations on graduating!! I totally feel you, I’ve definitely been guilty of not doing much the first half of my days now, but I’m finding the extra rest to be necessary for my previous sleepless nights. So I’m just trying to be more in tuned with my body and work with it

Completely agree with you on this. Reset isn’t always necessary. Sometimes a slow start of a new beginning can do wonders. I am also getting back into writing this Summer and trying to read more which wasn’t possible due to college exams and all.

Loved this!

For me this summer is about discipline and the beach/river. I want to start my journey of habits and enjoy the cold river water in contrast to the hot summer sun 🌞.

So looking forward to not having to be wise this summer, to speak and write before I think and to act before feeling “ready” or talking myself out of it. Congratulations, enjoy this journey and your summer, you’ve earned it!

i love this! just finished my first year of college and i eat breathed and lived school for the entire year. as soon as school ended i went on vacation and was trying to perfect the vacation like it was school. my last day there my boyfriend pushed me to enjoy the vacation so much i forgot to put sunscreen on and got burnt. but this just showed me that sunburn is just a sign that im enjoying life, and life is enjoying me too.
