"The free spirit can tap into the infinite possibilities that await the soul. No one is as good as being You as you are, so it would make sense to stop trying to be like everyone else."
2023 has been a year of self-discovery for me. I've spent countless hours alone, as well as immersed in creative energy. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and went to places I never ever imagined I'd get to. I put myself out there and more and more opportunities showed up. The only thing I did was being the most genuine expression of me I could possibly be and listen to that quiet voice to guide me.
Within this year, my heart also broke, and my heart healed; and I've finally acquired a new appreciation for solitude. I went back home after many years and faced the past that shaped me, reflected on the stories that I told myself about my life and my body, and looked back at old pictures. I saw the low self steem 20 year old girl who felt fat, yet looked amazing. That girl who cared so much about everyone else's perception of her.
All in all, I've learnt how to be myself, how to stand up for myself, and how to say NO.
It only took me 36 years to feel the way I feel today, but I'm happy to be me. I'm closing this year joyfully, and on a high note of gratitude for everyone out there whose life intercepted with mine this past year.
Thank you for reading. Much love your way 💛
