Loving the part about sincerity- I think this is something our age group lacks. It is too easy to hide behind a screen and not feel/show our emotions to others. If you want a good listen- love them or hate them- Sincerity is Scary by The 1975 is a good one !

love this list and how much each of these things pertains to you! i feel like i've often seen ins/outs lists that are much too broad but you accomplish your goal of wanting to blog more personally with this post 100%!! and totally with you on wanting to partake in physical media more. i just wrote about the importance of it recently and i love to see other people who care about it as well! very fun piece!

Love this!! Nothing is wrong with being earnest, sincere or even corny. Here’s to hoping more people follow your lead and embrace more vulnerability and kindness in their everyday interactions. Thanks for sharing!

I loved this!! as I said, is like you've been reading my mind. You've been such an inspiration for me this past year, and it's nice having a lot of goals in common for this new year, and to feel so seen and motivated by what you write. I hope you achieve everything you want 🤍✨

yes to no social media apps on the phone! i’ve also found that the user experience of social media on the laptop to be way less addicting than it is on the phone
