number one on my list is that I can do something for 100 days straight but if I break that streak on day 101 I will likely never go back to whatever it was I was doing (thank you duolingo for the streak freeze option)
I literally started making a list like this in my head today. I am the same age as you and I’m enjoying the feeling of knowing myself better that has come in my forties. Good luck on your creative pursuits!
-you will never consistently write in a journal. It sucks but it’s true.
-quit buying random things on Amazon. You want to save money and you are happy with what you have even if Amazon is trying to convince you that you are not lol
-mandarin doesn’t make you feel good no matter what you get
-same here with graphic tees and donuts
-you are not the best at consistently exercising. Sometimes a little bit when you can is enough.
Oh how many times I've written up similar lists and reminders! I have always been a primarily Kindle reader due to my minimalist ways but have recently been allowing myself to purchase the books I crave holding, which is getting slightly out of hand, though I have no regrets...yet. It is such a fine line! Part of me wants to remind myself that I don't need a million books that I'll have to store but I also love the tactile experience of physically holding a book I'm loving (then keeping it around to think about often or re-read)!
omg I feel so seen
Such a lovely title to your post!
I have never seen something so me in my life! sprinting to my notes NOW.
I’m going to start a list.
I have a corollary to your donut point. They always smell better than they taste.
Love the idea of keeping list.
Donuts and ice cream are over rated.
My number one
1. Stop drinking coffee after 12pm you know makes you feel ill - have a cup of tea.

I started a list like this at the start of the year of my ins and outs of my life and there’s already so many things on it.

Absolutely love this. Started my own list today!
LOVE this.
This list is all of us.

I love this "list of what I know to be true" so, so much. A manual for the self, on the self. Thank you for sharing <3
Never felt so understood when you said “you never wear tshirts with words or slogans on them- do not buy” hahahahaha yes!!!
