I feel for you. That's a tough space to be in. And yet it feels like such an important truth right now. This year DOES feel very different.
Thank you for putting thoughts and words to what I have only been able to feel. Which is weird because I usually face what you're feeling year after year with just my thoughts and words. But my new year is different because I have feelings and actions this year. And it's liberating and expansive. But also very confusing for me because it's so different from what I've known.
I'm glad you've been able to slow down and be curious. That's helped me in the past. I guess it's a good solution whether you're feeling fast or slow. I'll borrow your cue and get curious about why I'm not apathetic. What the hell is behind my flurry of kinetic optimism? And it's not caffeine, I'm only on green tea these days.
I'm so happy to hear that you are having a different experience because that gives me hope. Especially knowing that I get to be in your life in such a positive ways means that I will soak all your optimism up osmosis-style ;)
Jade— yessss I had the same experience this year with the end of year review. I started and stopped and started and stopped many times. And eventually I just thought — ok! fine! This isn’t the right time! 🫶🏼
I love how simply that phrase made me feel, Lisette! "This isn't the right time." So much more comforting than the "now or never" thinking that tends to cloud things. I can't wait to learn more from you this year!!
Dogs and naps are my absolute favorite. And they tend to make everything a bit more tolerable, huh? Sorry you are feeling this way too -- we're not alone it seems! <3

✨🫶🏼✨ it’s an infinite game, how we frame and reframe these things, isn’t it? I’m really looking forward to exploring with you this year too, Jade!
I love this post!! I’d type more but I’m using my left hand cuz a dog is snuggled up next to me as I get ready to nap. Thank you for writing this. <3
