What if it was never about whether or not you could push away all of the parts of yourself you don’t feel are enough, but instead to be able to hold them all, to allow them to coexist?
What if the real growth, the real journey, the real glow up, was when you stopped waiting until you transformed into the most flawless version of yourself, and instead began to care for the person you are right now?
Can you imagine the doors that would unlock for you if you stopped fighting battles you cannot win, if you stopped viewing every aspect of yourself as amendable, shiftable, movable? What if part of your destiny is also discernment, the ability to see the difference between the parts of yourself that need to be worked on, and the parts of yourself that need to be seen, embraced, and known?
The truth is that you’re going to feel all of it, and sometimes, all at once. Your life is going to be high and low, messy and gorgeous. It’s going to be nothing you ever expected and everything you always dreamed. There are parts of who you are that you will adore, and parts you will grapple to accept, and both are equally beautiful parts of your journey.
Your life is going to surprise you as often as it affirms you. It is going to continually remind you that you are both a work-in-progress and also exactly who you are meant to be, right where you are meant to be, just as you are meant to be, right now.
