This woman I know who’s in her 60s now was a model in LA, au pair in Paris, a master instructor in Pilates and has owned a studio for 25 years (next year). She had her kids later in life, divorced the husband, and now owns a farm with as many horses, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. as she wants. IM SO OBSESSED WITH HER!

motherhood is the ONE thing you cannot undo and a decision I've been pondering for like a decade

for the longest time i never understood people’s obsession with the fig tree analogy because in my head it was still “don’t pick a fig and they all rot or pick a fig and it’s yours for life”. it wasn’t until a few years ago i realized the sooner you pick the first fig and try it the sooner you can decide if you want to try another. realizing you can literally have/ try them all changed my life.

I left corporate marketing and just got into a masters program in psychology at 30, and sometimes people tease me about changing my mind so much but I’m just so excited to help people I felt so dead in marketing! But if I had never tried it first I’d always be wondering if marketing was my true calling!

You’ll never know if you made the “right” decision because you can never see how other decisions play out. Make a choice and then make it work!

yess exactly this!! in the book, ester (the main character) picks up a fig and just bites into it, and realises that she was just hungry the entire time (& that’s why the tree felt so overwhelming)
