I keep coming back to this post. As a -6-year old not so great with my words creative.... it HITS! In the ways that I don't know how to express in words but in a way that just hits my soul and my soul needed it so deeply. It sounds dumb, But thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed reading this! It was pretty freeing actually. This is such a common feeling to have especially in your mid to late twenties (though I am sure this is a feeling that can be experienced in various age brackets).

Linking your age to the milestones that you hoped to have achieved by now, focusing on what you haven’t managed to complete vs what you have. Looking at life from a place of lack rather than a place of gratitude and fulfilment. But you should feel more than proud of where you currently are. Honestly!

I (Shay, co-founder of TLLP) recently turned 30 and its only now that I’m able to feel comfortable with where I’m currently at in life. By no means am I where I want to be BUT I am so grateful for the life I’ve lived so far. The people I’ve met, the experiences I’ve had, the ventures I’ve launched that have failed or done pretty well. The failed intimate relationships etc. All of these lessons and experiences contribute to who we are as human beings.

I guess I want you know that it’s OK to feel stagnant at times. Stillness is necessary so that we are able to assess our next steps.

Take your time and appreciate life. There truly is no rush!

Enjoy the journey chic :)
