millie the mushroom enamel pin

i recently spoke to a loved one, let's call her Millie & she reminded me how important it is to rest. 

life is too short to be spent working so hard doing something that you no longer find joy in. it took me a while to realize i'm not growing the way i'd hope & i am tired; mentally drained & physically exhausted by people, accumulating responsibilities & to an extend, drama. 

as i transition into my 30's, i look to Millie as a reminder to take time out; care for myself, reevaluate where i'm at & if necessary, start over. after all, growth isn't an easy process but it's never too late to try again.
