Finally got it right side up!
One year ago, I never would have imagined all that I have gone through since then. I know, that’s a thing people say a lot. I suppose we never imagine what the future holds for us. What’s that Yiddish phrase my Bubbie used to say all the time? Mann tracht un Gott lacht - Man plans, god laughs.
One year ago, my most urgent fear was my upcoming 30th birthday. I woke up every morning depressed that my youth was gradually fading from me and that everything would be so horribly different once the next month came around. It turns out that fear was totally stupid and that nothing changed when I turned 30, and I’m sure nothing will change when I turn 31 either.
I didn’t know what my partner was doing behind my back. As far as I knew, I was in a loving relationship with someone I had never fought with in two whole years of being together. Someone who bought just about everything in my apartment for me even though I begged him not to, who cooked breakfast for me every morning, and was certainly going to plan an elaborate birthday for me. I didn’t know about the abusive nightmare that was going on behind my back. I’ll spare the details, but it’s worse than you’d think by that description alone. I didn’t know about the months of anguish I’d go through, that I’d lose all that weight, and that I’d have to prove to myself in the end that I was stronger than I thought I was.
I didn’t know that I’d adopt a kitten and find another partner who turned out to be amazing (though the absolute last thing I wanted when I met him was to find someone else), that I’d find my two best friends who I hadn’t met yet. I didn’t know that I’d make the choice to exercise every day and get healthy, and eat better, and that I’d be much happier in the end. I thought I was happy back then, but something in the back of my head nagged me that things weren’t quite right. I didn’t know that I’d ever learn to write fiction, or that I’d find this community to share the things I create, or that I’d become interested in crypto and start working for an exchange. I didn’t know that contrary to my fears, the month before I turned 31 would be a thousand times better than the month before I turned 30.

I blew through 30 without a blink and i'm rounding up on 40 and the only stress I feel is from the outside - like am going to be able to find my value to the others in the world (aka money- which is actually annoying more than anything lol) if I haven't found it yet, or do women really lose their standing in society when they lose their beauty kind of stuff. Getting older is great in many ways ways- for one we get better at who we let into our emotional sphere (even if some of us still need a lot of work haha) and we just learn to enjoy our own company so much more and be our own best friend. You seem like a great person, you're going to love 31 ;)

Got this calendar to try and log my upcoming activities and not forget about them.
Still forgot about them.
10/10, would "use" a calendar again.
And yes, aside from an entry here and there, this calendar is empty.

People always lament the increasing speed of time as they age, and yet if you stop to notice each minute and each day still feels as full and long as it ever did. Its probably not going to blow anyone's mind but i always think about how it s all relativity... When you are only 8 years old (with quite a bit less than that in conscious memories) two months of vacation is a huge fraction of that, life . When you are forty one year might be be the same fraction of time, or depending on how consistently similar your days our, it may be less in saved memories. I don't think I'm ever wistful in a way that I miss the past or wish i could go back, because 1. Life is amazing, but I feel like Ive struggles to get to where I am, and I still have the same world of possibilities as I did when I was young, I'm just even more capable and less confused or overwhelmed (I know I know the little slice you've seen of me its probably scary to think of me being more overwhelmed, but some of us have a harder time wrestling our super powers than others ;) ) and 2. i can sit at any moment and enjoy how long a minute is, and how nice it feels to read or play video games or stare outside and daydream, i know time is moving at the same speed and it feels nice to notice it. And to be honest, I feel 100% certain that I have lived a thousand lifetimes (and you all too) and that I'm just going to keep existing in different capacities , so whether time is an infinitely looped dimension or a vast expanse that we move through just like space, I don't long for returning to a time any more than a physical place- I'm not in that physical place now because i chose to be in this physical place and I can choose to go back to it whenever I want really, I feel the same way towards time
