I’ve always been racing against time. I think it’s time to stop.

Happy birthday Thasni! Wow, you are 26 years old.
Who would’ve ever thought you’d reach this age. To 15 year old me, this age felt non-existent. An age I knew would come, but a number too big for me to imagine a reality.
When I look back at this year, I can’t help but be filled with gratitude to my Lord for helping me reach this mental space that I’ve been fighting for so much of my life. I went through so many mindset shifts this year and I want to write about all of them today. But I don’t want this to turn into an essay, so I’ll share with you the one mindset shift that really set this year apart for me.
Life as a race
For as long as I remember, life felt like a race against the clock.
Time always felt like it was running out and I was always trying to catch up to it.
Younger me had a plan of what she wanted life to look like, but she felt like she kept falling behind time. She felt constantly let down by herself, with a pit of anxiety ever-present.
