Mid-Twenties, Unbothered 📖📓☕️

What I’ve learned in my mid 20’s 🤟🏽

+ patiently love yourself through short comings

+ tend to your tender moments with care

+ it’s okay to mourn childhood friendships that you are losing

+ romantic relationships that end are not failures, but intentional growth to a better version of yourself

+ showing up for yourself is not always in clean spaces, be messy sometimes

+ you are not too young or too old for anything you desire in life

+ sometimes love meets you where you are

Self Improvement Books I Want to Read

I believe that the best thing to do is invest in yourself, and I think reading “self-help” books and using what you learn from them, is a great way to grow and improve yourself. I want to improve myself in all things that has to do with my day-to-day life, from work to finances to my mental health.
