☁️ Bookmarks: Redeem your rest

creative procrastination / tiktok therapy / millennials are killing tiktok?

Hi friend,

Today’s my 30th birthday! Although I’m writing this to you on the last day of my 20s.

If you’re in the U.S., it’s also a long holiday weekend!

My birthday frequently falls around Memorial Day weekend, and it’s always been fun to have everyone else in a celebratory mood.

It usually marks the start of summer activities – my favorite time of the year.

After such a difficult season, I’m honestly thrilled to embrace the joy and sunshine that’s in the air. And I hope you can, too.

Earlier this week, I encouraged you to treat yourself to something nice. And now I’ll go one step further: treat yourself to a break.

It doesn’t have to be a major vacation (though if you can swing it, go for it), but even just an afternoon off or one hour to do whatever you want to do.

As for me, I’m going to log off of work after writing this to you, go outside, and read a book before spending a whole weekend offline + celebrating with the ones I love.

You deserve rest, friend. Hope you can find it + enjoy 🤍

with warmth + love,

N
