Added 2025-05-16 04:20:04 +0000 UTCLately, I’ve felt incredibly drawn to nature in a way I can’t quite explain. It’s like something deep inside me is craving stillness, fresh air, trees, the sound of birds—just that grounding energy only the natural world can give. I find myself daydreaming about mountain trails, wildflowers, ocean waves, and waking up somewhere quiet with the sun streaming through the window. But at the very same time, there’s this other part of me—equally loud and persistent—that dreams of being a chic, playful city girl wandering the streets of Paris in heels, sipping coffee at a café, and feeling the buzz of life all around me. I can’t seem to choose between the two, and honestly, it overwhelms me sometimes. I wish I could split myself in two and live both lives fully, but I know that’s not how it works. There are days I feel torn, almost guilty, for not being able to settle into one clear identity or path.
My therapist said something recently that really stuck with me. She told me, “Feeling overwhelmed by choices is actually a gift—because it means you have choices. You have options. Many people don’t.” And that shifted something in me. I realized I’ve been so caught up in trying to decide the “right” thing that I forgot to appreciate the freedom of having a life full of possibilities. It’s not always easy to hold space for both desires, but maybe that’s just part of who I am—and maybe that’s okay.
