The Know List
WE’RE MAKING A LIST. FEEL SEEN.
IT’S ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT’S NOT HOW WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD…
- Be out mingling during weeknights - with friends, at an event, with a partner (lol) - without the thought of wanting to be braless on my sofa
- Stop following others (at least a little bit)
- Know how to apply more than just mascara
- Give fewer effs
- Get up and put on real pants (or a skirt) on weekdays. Fine, and shower.
- Be a well respected expert in my field
- Have 5x the responsibility and not be phased by it (perhaps the biggest of lols)
- Have a successful, supportive partner
- Eat a real dinner (but why)
- Have someone to take care of me when I’m sick
- (Finally) search for my own approval first
- Feel okay (well, way better than okay) not climbing a corporate ladder
- Be the first to get married (or at least not the last… wait, we won’t all get married?!)
- Have the: energy, budget, and ‘gang’ to grab after work drinks on a whim
- Be able to overcome feeling desperately alone even when I know deep down that that is truly a massive lie
- Understand what it means for mercury to be in retrograde (or we’d have stopped saying it 👀)
- … Know what to do
