Oh, it's Leighann

All the versions of me are tired of trying.

I’ve tried being patient, understanding, strong, and forgiving, even when I was already hurting. I kept giving chances because I wanted things to work so badly. But honestly, I don’t know how many more times I can keep picking myself up just to try again.

I’m tired of forcing things that don’t want to stay. Tired of giving my best and still feeling like it’s never enough. Tired of pretending I’m okay just because I don’t want anyone to worry about me. There were so many times I told myself to keep going when all I really wanted was to stop for a while. I just want to rest without feeling guilty for being tired.

Maybe I don’t need to try harder this time. Maybe I need to let go of what keeps making me feel like I have to prove my worth. I’m allowed to be tired, to step back, and to choose myself without feeling bad about it. I’ve spent so much time trying to make things work that I forgot I deserve things that don’t need to be forced. For once, I just want to breathe.

I used to think I was defective because I'd never been in a relationship at 34. That was literally the word I used for years.

If you've ever felt that way—I see you. There's nothing wrong with you, you're not the only one, and it's not too late.

thinking out loud about comparison, staying in your own lane, and the difference between wanting someone else's opportunities and actually wanting your own life.

and what finally forced me to ask myself, "what's the real cost of comparison?"

I'm 34, and I can't trust my own mind. So I'm doing a 30-day experiment: every time my brain talks me out of something, I do the opposite.

and the lore continues…

I realized that I haven’t done an introductory-type post in a hot minute—and there have been so many new faces lately, and so many changes around here, that I wanted to share a little about what inspired me to switch things up!

if you’re feeling a little lost or you are in the midst of a life pivot (whether you know what you’re doing or not), this is the place. I hope my own journey will encourage you to stop telling yourself “it’s too late” or that if you’re unhappy in your current situation “this is all there is” and most importantly, I hope it will remind you that you’re not alone in any of this.

whether you’ve been here since the beginning, or you’re just learning the lore now—I’m really glad you’re here 🤍

being in my mid-30s is wild because there are so many things that I no longer care to apologize for ever again

I used to think if I just kept these things to myself they’d stop being true. they didn’t. so here we are. follow along if you’re in the messy middle too.
