Things I know to be true:
Quiet evenings spent at home with roommates are better than loud evenings spent out with strangers.
Cooking is enjoyable in a strangely satisfying way.
Sometimes plants on windowsills make all the difference.
It’s okay to like novels.
It’s okay to not like exercise.
It’s okay to wake up at 10am everyday.
It’s okay to not like podcasts.
Sometimes you quit something when you’re little because you think you hate it, like playing piano, only to rediscover in your young adulthood that you actually quite enjoy–and miss–it.
Sometimes life is overwhelming and you have to cry silently in a bathroom stall–and that’s okay.
Sometimes you remember how great your life is and marvel at all the things that are going well–and wonder what in the world you ever did to deserve such luck.
Sometimes your blog posts don’t make sense. And that’s okay. Because they’re for you just as much as they’re for your readers.
Sincerely,
~Emily
