I read somewhere that looking back on your previous writing and finding it a little cringe is a sign of personal growth, so seems like you're doing it right + being very reflective about it 😊 I also love the idea of romanticizing your life as a way of getting shit done! I feel like it's presented as a much more passive endeavor a lot of the time, but you're so right, it does enable you to just get out there and do things rather than watch life pass you by.

Every day I flirt with the idea of becoming one of those girls who does their morning routine on TikTok because I wholeheartedly believe their life is enhanced for the romanticising of mundane things. As we should!!

I would watch!! 😊 I do enjoy those morning routine TikToks, though I could never be organized enough to have a good morning routine like that myself haha. Might as well appreciate the little things in life, there’s enough of it that’s stressful imo!

Kind of nice to hear this as I'm constantly questioning the name I went with for my Substack too - I had to pick something otherwise I never would have started!

I love the write up! God, I wish I came up with that. But yes, I'm so there with you. Definitely worth the internal struggle. :)
