š "Felka In Her Piżama" (Day 8 of my 24 Days of Christmasš
🕑 Added 2025-12-09 01:03:29 +0000 UTC(For anyone who isnāt feeling like themselves right now, then this 1z for you).
Tonight, Iām choosing me.
I slipped into my favorite piżama, lit the candle that always makes me exhale a little deeper, and tucked myself into bed early. Instead of sitting at my desk chasing the long list of things I āshouldā be doingāand beating myself up for what I havenāt done yetāIām listening to my body. And sheās whispering, rest. You need it...
The half-smile in the photo Iām sharing tonight? Itās real. Itās me showing up for myself even while I feel lost. Itās me choosing to take one tiny step toward feeling better.
But hereās what Iām discovering during this month of following my desires:
š Living authentically means meeting myself where I actually am, not where I āshouldā be.
š It means celebrating the small winsālike going to bed earlyājust as much as the big ones.
šAnd it means recognizing that honoring what I need is its own kind of joy.
So thank you for reading, for being here with me, and for walking with me through all 24 Days of Ana so far. If youāve been following along, drop a comment belowāIād love to know whoās here with me on this journey. š§”
And if youāre not feeling like yourself lately⦠I see you.
Maybe youāre more proud of who you used to be than who you are now. Maybe you were the straight-A kid once and now you feel ālazy.ā Maybe you feel soul-tired, detached, unsure where your spark has gone.
Me too. Truly.
Sometimes I feel like the way people view meāa go-getter, a positive personāis a story I no longer recognize. Like Iām somehow failing at being who I āused to be.ā
But hereās the gentle reminder we both need:
That person is still you.
And you will return to yourself.
Where you are right now is not wrong.
Itās not a mistake.
Itās part of your path.
You are allowed to be in a season of becoming.
A flower doesnāt stay perfectly in bloom all year. Sometimes it loses petals so it can grow taller, stronger, ready to reach the light again.
So tonight, Iām choosing rest, softness, honesty⦠and myself.
And if you need permission to do the sameāhere it is. šāØ
Thank you for being here. Truly.
p.s. come back tomorrow for a really cute post on what baby felka would have asked for from Santa <3 and a little inner child exercise I'd like for us to do together..!
p.p.s. wanna learn how to farm and grow crops like a badass one day. note to self!

Your words have meant a lot to me and they resonate exactly how I feel in life. This post in particular hits hard. The guilt of knowing how long Iāve have spent drifting and the time I know it would take to do the things I want just keep you in a loop where you can barely even start. What you say about enjoying small victories and little moments that give us joy is so important. And most importantly truly loving oneself. Iām really glad youāre choosing to rest, and Iām hoping the best for you in every step you take as well as everyone here. Iāll believe weāll all make it to what weāre looking for. I really want to start truly living, without just worrying about the big goals. Thank you for this Christmas project. Every post has been special and a joy to read.

Past few years Iāve been lost in this state of existence. Living without purpose while trying to find something besides just surviving day to day on routines and familiarities. But since this October itās seems like that been amplified past ten. Iām hoping by the end of this year Iāll find a path back to what Iām looking for.
