What a steal!!! I had a Filofax before I made the big switch to Palm and loved it. The blue is divine.

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately too. By everything. I think a lot of it is the age and a lot of it is the endless possibilities. I’m finding it hard to crawl out from under it though.

Well, I think $95 for a personal planner is way over-priced to begin with, but you can’t beat 5 bucks!

The harsh truth probably is most people don’t care about you all that much. I’ve always been fine with that. You can’t please everybody, and the ones who truly matter are your close friends anyway. You’ve got your core peeps and those on the fringe (what I call social friends–fun to hang out with, but definitely far from BFFs).

It’s selfish to expect people to have unconditional love for you, especially if you don’t do that yourself.

This really hit a chord: "sometimes I feel like there aren't many people who care about me all that much."

I have a ton of acquaintances, and I have some great friends, but they are all 2,000+ mi away, and I feel like we are all living our own lives independent of each other. Sometimes I feel stuck, and yet I know I'm not, with most things...which makes it that much more frustrating.

I miss having my folks closer (they use to be 2.5 hours away), and hopefully they can move closer when I finally settle down...but uh...yeah, settling down isn't like it is around the corner either.

Sorry about the long post, it just hit close to home.

ps. Good bargain shopping!

amazing deal on the planner. last year i found franklin covey (in august – not the time i need a planner, but still) at target. so cheap! and amazing.
and this quarter-life crisis? i nodded through the entire thing.

Glad you were able to get home. Sometimes when I’m feeling like you were, I wish I lived closer than 400 miles to my family.

Oh the parallels. Went out to the suburbs last night for similar reasons (+ a birthday). It’s tough because a lot of times I know I have great, loyal friends but not many “Up for anything!” friends in Chicago. Which is why it was sooo nice to have you in town!! And why we clearly would have loved to have you again! And will at some point but Boston first and I can’t wait!!

The planner is adorable by the way and nothing makes me feel less entangled than fresh laundry scent. I’m gonna go nap on a Bounce sheet cause that’s as close as I’ll get today.

I love new planners. Of course they lose their excitement after about a week, but the initial opening and filling in…oh fun! It would have been awesome if you were here in Chicago last night! We’ll have to plan another one next time you’re in town.
