Most people assume you have to follow the same timeline as everyone else…

I don’t hate the idea of any of these things. I would love to get married one day, have kids, buy a home, build a life with my partner and grow older together, none of that is the problem.

What never quite sat right with me was the feeling that life is only celebrated when you’re ticking those boxes on the timeline everyone else expects you to follow.

I want all of those things, just not in a way that feels rushed or chosen for me. I want to build my own income through my own business, have the freedom to choose when the time feels right to get married or start a family, and buy a house because it genuinely feels like the next step in our life rather than something society says we should be doing by a certain age.

At my own pace, in my own way.

Does anyone else feel like that too?

If you ever get a day where you have absolutely no plans… don’t waste it waiting for someone else to fill it. Do the things you want to do, go where you want to go, take yourself for a coffee, a walk, a drive, whatever feels good that day. It’s easy to put things off until someone can join you, but life isn’t meant to be lived on standby.

At the end of the day, the only life you actually get to live is your own. So if you have the time, use it. Do the things that make you feel like yourself again, even if you’re doing them alone 🥰

If I had a free morning and someone asked me what shall we do? I would always pick a cute cafe with brunch, a hot coffee, and then mooch around a few independently owned shops!

Being free, isn’t about doing everything, I think it’s about slowing down enough to not rush the simplest of things 🥰

What town do you want to be a tourist in?

It’s the 1st of February, and I’m kind of glad I can close January’s chapter and start fresh, looking forward with all the exciting plans I’ve got ahead.

When I was little, I used to be a tourist in Cornwall and Devon every year and wished I lived here. Now, after nearly 9 years of calling it home since I was 17, I realise how easy it is to take it for granted.

Lately, I’ve been really intentional about using this page to slow things down and make more time for myself.

Romanticising the little things I loved as a child again, long walks, a pastry, taking photos, being present.

Love visiting new places, especially the English countryside when the sun is out and it’s making me even more excited for summer!

If you want to visit, this is Perrys cider Mills in Ilminster, would definitely recommend! 🥰

Any recommendations of more farm shops/cafes always appreciated as I want to visit a lot more this year!

Waiting is easy…

It lets you feel like you’re being sensible, realistic and patient, I felt like this for a long time. But honestly, waiting is usually just a way of not making a decision. You tell yourself you’ll start when life slows down or when you feel more ready, and somehow that moment never actually comes, because taking that first step now will actually get you closer to slowing down than waiting for the right time! 🤯

Nothing shifts until you do.

Things don’t fall into place while you’re waiting around thinking about them. They change when you decide to move, even if it’s messy and you don’t have it all figured out yet. If it’s been sitting in the back of your mind for a while, that’s probably your cue.
