27 BEFORE 28
Enough is enough.
Real friends don’t point fingers, they lay flat palms on your back.
Time is precious; people are priceless.
You don’t ever have to say “I love you for them to know and vice versa.
Lean on them when you lack conviction.
Invest in what does not drown.
Not everything is an emergency.
Think—maybe, just maybe—they do not mind you taking your time.
Cultivate seeds you want to take in soil.
Propagate carefully for your well-being.
Be selective of who and what you share energy with.
Protect yourself from Lotus Eaters. Sometimes it is as simple as a chapter of Percy Jackson.
Let go. Be honest.
Take the leap because if you hesitate you’ll end up breaking a toe.
27 is eating up all your groceries because, according to the Albertsons app, you have 30 servings of fruits AND vegetables.
Kindness lives in halved tangerines.
Trust lives in chopped melons.
There is love in peeling oranges when they’re not looking.
Let go of old myths, hold fast to lessons learned.
Character shines through any mask, no matter how varnished or repainted.
It’s okay that I’m happier with my career, my art, my friendships, my
energy, my home, my body my
mind, my heart
Be proud of what you have done and inspired.
I am glad I write it all down, even if it can’t possibly be all of it.
You lose _____ and gain _____ from every failure.
No one can move how mountainous you are.
No one is strong enough to push your certainty,
youth lives longer when you take less shit.
27 knows my energy is priceless so
28 is abundant.
With love,
Mei
