Happy Summer!

  • Song on repeat lately: Name by Justin Bieber ft. Tori Kelly
  • Number of free cookies received this month: 1.5 🍪
  • Firsts this month: Picnicking in Central Park, doing an Escape Room
  • The summer of tennis has begun! Trying to improve my serve and also play more regularly, from 1-2x a month to 1-2x a week.
  • I’ve mostly settled into my new place. Didn’t think I’d be able to afford living alone in the city but here we are. God provides 🙂

You have to look to the future with the possibility everything will turn out well.

I’ve been thinking about why I feel a slight panic whenever I see people getting engaged and married. I think it’s because I’m conflating having a life partner with future happiness. I need to remind myself that being happy in the future will happen no matter the outcome of my love life, and that it shouldn’t hinge on someone who could be a stranger at this point in time.
