just post it

I've been a consistent journal-er for as long as I can remember. Lately, I’ve also gotten really good about documenting what I write about. While I genuinely strive to be present and immersed in each experience, I've managed to capture many of these memories. It's become a truly delightful pastime to go back through my entries, watch the accompanying videos, or scroll through pictures, allowing myself to fully recall and relive all these fun and unexpected times

This newfound habit of documenting my life has unexpectedly sparked a desire to use social media for what I believe was its original purpose… to genuinely share your life with the people in your life. For the longest time, I put sooooo much pressure on myself regarding what I would post. I'd overthink absolutely everything, down to the tiniest, most microscopic detail, and I've come to realize just how incredibly exhausting that process was (shocker). Honestly, since actively pushing past that mental block and letting go of the pressure, I've realized that the obsessive, in-depth attention to detail really needs to go.

There's something incredibly liberating and, dare I say, literally so fun about shamelessly posting. I've genuinely been enjoying this new approach so much. The act of taking unnecessary pressure off these things has proven to be quite profound and truly liberating. This shift in perspective is deeply rooted in the entire "life's too short" mindset, which has been a powerful catalyst for these changes. It's so true, why waste precious moments on overthinking when you could be enjoying and sharing them!
