Urgh, relate so bad! And think you’re so right that no one talks about the ‘wrong’ and ‘what if’ and ‘where I should be VS where I am, what do I even want...someone just tell me so I can be less confused!!!!’
YES totally relate to this!! So many times I’ve wished to just… know what’s next, know where I’m going to end up and that it’s all going to be okay. I think there’s something so beautiful in learning to trust the process, and that life could look like anything, but man I wish I knew what was right for me right this second!
I absolutely enjoy reading your words. Your writing comes to life for me as you transitioned from desert, to suburbia, to the big lake, and the ocean. You are definitely not alone in feeling like “you’re doing it wrong”. I have felt like that for such a long time as I watch my friends settle down and do the “adult thing” - career, family, predictability. One thing your writing has also done is to remind me that we all struggle even though this world would like us to think we are alone.
Thank you so much for sharing Lindsey 💗 I totally relate to that— lately I’ve watched a lot of my friends advance careers & buy houses or have kids and as I transition into another summer guiding — which I LOVE and wouldn’t trade for anything— I can’t help but wonder if that should’ve been me, and what they think of me
100%. I have found, though, that my true friends embrace my life that doesn’t fit the traditional social norms and me being an “aunt” to their kids. I hope you have/find friends that cheer you on and offer support through the ups and downs of every adventure 💛😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your incredible story💗 I seriously cannot express how much your words of encouragement mean to me!
Thanks for sharing. It has been a very challenging few years and I appreciate your vulnerability in sharing how that’s been for you.
Your Substack and Insta has been very inspiring and encouraging to me as I try to transition into something similar.
Thanks again for sharing your heart and all the other fabulous articles and photos you have posted.
Aw Kara, thanks so much for your kind words! Wishing you all the best in your transition into a new path 💗

So true! I’ve got great friends, and I think a lot of my struggling with life differences is mostly internal, a grass is always greener kind of thing!
Ah yes, that I can also relate to. The questions of ‘wouldn’t life be easier if I had something predictable/more/what they have/etc.?’
The questions and struggles of life that have haunted people for centuries :)
I admire and thank you for wresting with the questions publicly, because like I said, it makes the world seem a little more human and relatable.
