Thanks for this, Meigs. This made me really miss y’all and Gram. I get a lot of fomo around the holidays and wish so badly I could spend more with you guys. Such good truths, and it sounds like you had a lovely, restorative weekend- and you were being safe, which I think is necessary and brave!
I struggle a lot with fomo and comparison on social media, and have found it to be extra anxiety-inducing during the pandemic. I can totally see correlation between spending more time on social media and feeling worse about things. Thank you for sharing this!
I really really love this thought: “Gram was telling me these sailing stories from when she was 40, a reminder that I don't have to cram all of the fun into my 20s. It can continue for my entire life if I surround myself with the best people and focus on the beauty in the little moments.“ I worry about that all the time! Really love this and proud of you for sharing 🧡
Beautiful Meigs! I have also been spending more time with my grandma than anyone my age- beautiful moments but also relate to the vortex and the necessity of recognizing when you're being sucked in. Appreciate/admire your honesty and openness always <3
