Doing something just because it delights you — what a fine idea! I’m trying to move in that direction, still kinda stuck in “omg this is all so exhausting” mode, but I occasionally manage to pull off a “just because I wanna” moment. Keep up the good work and stay delighted (and delightful!)!!
I told 41 years of students they weren't born with a user manual, and they need to try everything during high school to find out what they are naturally good at and what humbles them; then work on the things that humble you, focus on the things you do well, and help others along the way. It sounds like you have the enthusiasm and fun gift!
Great post! I never had that confidence in the first place lol, but trying to find it… maybe you’ve just convinced me to give that run club I’ve been considering a try 👀
I mean, it all disappeared after uni 😂😂 until now… ish! I find just picking one thing helps rather than getting excited about 50 different things and then not choosing.
Go to the run club if you think you’ll feel good! It’ll be worth it!
Those “what ifs” can be so liberating and so confining at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing this, Imogen! Also, your illustrations are so cute! 💕

Oh it is ALL exhausting haha. Sometimes it's just one tiny thing really that makes the difference!

That's great advice. Especially the 'what humbles them' and 'help others along the way'. I like that a lot. Sounds like you're a great teacher!

Awh thank you Priya!! ☺️ The illustrations make me happy but I’ve never focused on it so I have a lot to learn. So means a lot to get praise on them!
I'm about to go to book club right now! Sometimes it's not a big group, but that gives us time to talk about the other books we're reading.
Hope it was good? That’s a great point about it not being a big group. Even two people would be nice.
And if you don't, no one got hurt, ha ha
Such a great attitude to have 😊 I hope book club rocks!
Haha thank you! Yep I still need to stick to my word and do that actually..
