Loving: books that have been on my shelf for years
Learning: finally reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and doing a deep clean (for the third time this pandemic because my room at home has to contain both my bedroom and all the other household supplies I needed at school and will need in a future apartment)
Lost: still waiting on a source of regular income, because I started to look just before COVID did the thing. That's the first thing I need to do before I can even think about dealing with anything else. Waiting to hear from a recent interview.
ugh i love this! honestly what we all need to share and be more open about rn.
LOVE: currently making the most of living in a country that experiences all four seasons, we have so much snow and i‘m trying to make myself go outside just for a walk and appreciate nature‘s beauty because no matter what excuses i have, it ALWAYS makes me feel better. nature is just so cool like that.
LEARNING: i‘ve been trying, like many people to feel inspired by the new year, and without labelling it a resolution, i‘ve called it my 2021 mottto - speak the f up when i want to or need to. speak my mind and know it‘s okay to voice my opinions or thoughts. - honestly, so far it‘s been going great, but it‘s a process, baby steps.
LOST: something i know everyone is struggling or stuck with is fomo. the fear of missing out, not being able to fully experience the roaring twenties, getting tipsy and giggly with friends and random strangers, going to a concert and not going home but laughing and hugging and holding onto new peeps we met, meeting up with friends and having a fajita night... i know that when this all passes, we‘ll (hopefully) be able to catch up on everything and it‘ll be like we never lost it, but for the moment i‘m just stuck because this isn‘t how i imagined my twenties to be.
basically wrote a novel but really wanted to hop on this because it‘s so cute and i‘ve loved reading other peeps plans and worries... thanks taryn for being a lil ray of sunshine sharing yo light, you keep doing you!
Love this little reflection sessions you create for us in the podcast! Thanks for that, I do it far too little!
Loving: Being with family and getting breaks together from studying for finals and work!
Learning: Learning to be more vocal about my mental health in this whole pandemic thing without thinking it's a burden to other people
Lost: Uncertain about future plans: Will I look for a job after graduation (if I even find one in the current economical status in Belgium ... ), will I study for another year,... Thinking about the things you want as a 23 year old is haaaaard!
VERY cute. I find it makes your guest more “real” - for example, you had this guy who’s so incredibly amazing with his finances, which is something most of us aren’t. It’s a little intimidating but hearing the fact that he’s struggled with getting weights for him gym set - it’s a bit like wow, he’s just like everyone else.
Loving: watched ‘the old guard’ on Netflix and went into it being ehh not really my type of movie but turned out amazing.
Learning: how to grow/market my side hustle
Lost: a few weeks away from graduating and becoming a paramedic. Stuck between do I wait out the ridiculously long waiting period for Australian ambulance services starts hiring or do I move to London and work there once they open applications?
Okay, first I need to say, your explanation of the shitty show you’re watching, made me laugh out loud (which is actually hard to do when you’re reading something, ya know?). “They’re 1000% the same age in real life”, reminds me of crappy hallmark movies 😂😂
Loving, learning, lost - I absolutely LOVE this idea!
Loving - Halsey's poetry book
Learning - I took meat out of my diet about 6 months ago (with the exception of a few seafood boils 🥴) and lately I’ve been reading/researching to be sure I’m doing it the healthiest way.
Lost - my wife and I are working from home still - I miss a routine, some days small things seem like so much and they aren’t and it’s annoying 🙄
Loved the first pod episode back with your gf, love this newsletter, you’re cool, have a great weekend! 🥂
Hi! I love your new opening idea. I think it's a fantastic icebreaker.
Also as a podcast or IG spotlight, I'd love to hear more about your career in copyediting. What is the day to day like, what are the exciting parts, the boring parts, and how you even started in it? I really enjoy your writing voice and I think it would be cool to learn more about that side of you. Just something I've been thinking about :)
