A couple of days ago I turned 34 and boy, do I have a lot of thoughts that I’m struggling to articulate.
This past year has been one of the hardest yet. The culmination of a transformation that has been brewing quietly behind the scenes for years. All the pressure I’ve been putting on myself finally bursting to the surface. It caught me by surprise and yet - it made perfect sense. One thing is for sure, sooner or later, I can count on my body to really let me know what’s up.
It showed me the labels I no longer want to carry. Which kind of pressure is no longer worth the outcome. And where I’ve been molding myself to fit into something that ultimately does not serve me anymore.
For this next year, I wish to grip less tightly. To change my mind more often. And to keep embracing the season I’m in.
