This week I moved into my first one bedroom apartment in the city—my first time ever living alone. What I planned on being a very intentional and mindful move, including lots of journaling and reflection on what feels like a pivotal time in my life, turned into a week that was a little bit of a messy, well, shitshow.

You do not exist on a single schedule, your fate is not to arrive at each set point at precisely the second you think you should. That’s not what you’re here for. That’s not what this whole thing is about.

In the busyness, I have only found emptiness. But in slowness, I have only found abundance.

For all that falls apart and spins out of control, I am still standing and thriving.

In life, we tend to be fast-paced and on the go 24/7.

Why do you rush about your life? Really pause for a moment and think about it.

I hope you see that hustle doesn’t equate to happiness.

Living slowly allows you space to be grateful for a present that’s been given to you or be apologetic when a sorry is in order.
