What have you been up to lately?
They asked me what I've been up to lately and I didnāt know how to say, āHealing generational trauma, current life trauma, slaying my inner demons, holding my inner child, expanding my nervous system out of survival mode, and becoming a literal unshakeable badass.ā So instead, I laughed it off and said, āNot much, you?ā Because how do you explain to someone in a casual conversation that youāve been doing the kind of inner work most people spend their whole lives avoiding? How do you casually mention that youāve been pulling yourself out of survival mode, teaching yourself how to breathe again without fear, and giving your inner child the love, protection, and patience they never got?
The truth is, every day feels like a silent victory. Iāve been confronting wounds that were never mine to carry, releasing pain that was passed down through generations, and learning that strength isnāt about pretending everythingās fineāitās about facing the darkness head-on and refusing to let it win. Iāve been unlearning the lies I was told, shedding identities that were forced on me, and discovering who I actually am underneath all the armor I built to survive.
Itās not the kind of update you can fit into small talk. Itās messy, exhausting, and overwhelming at times, but itās also beautiful. Iām rebuilding my foundation from scratch, becoming someone softer yet stronger, someone who doesnāt just survive but thrives. So yeah, when they asked, I kept it simple. But the real answer isāIāve been busy becoming the version of myself I used to only dream of.
