vulnerable share ⤵
the truth: nobody is completely immune to comparison.
it feels like the last 5 years unfolded in the blink of an eye
i went from my life imploding in 2020, to here now - in what feels like 5 minutes
yet, i look around and notice that others have accomplished so much in that time.
best friends married, some with children and families
people are buying properties, dream homes even
acquaintances built empires and became wealthy
..and others are no longer with us. gone.
how did those years move so quickly? what have i been up to?
it can feel confusing, honestly.
esp now that geographically, i’m back where i started.
on a bad brain day, i might find myself momentarily questioning my place, my path, my choices
and then i remember everything i have accomplished that our society doesn’t champion & cheer on.
the unspoken celebrations that are personal, invisible, deeply important
after 2020 i discovered who i actually am - and i’ve been relishing in that ever since.
i have been living life in a way that feels juicy, fulfilling.
i have been building, exploring, learning.
i quit drinking. i travelled the world on my own. tried new things.
i build a business that is soul-aligned, purposeful, meaningful.
so many of my wins are non-tangible.
they don’t exist in the physical world.
they can’t be clocked at a glance.
they can only be felt.
to me, that’s living.
life was never meant to be about how it looks. it’s about how it feels.
when i got to know myself, for real - i realized my true values and desires
they often don’t look the same as my best friends, my parents or the people on my feed
and i think that’s beautiful. because it’s authentic.
the question i come back to often is: would my ancestors be disappointed in me for spending the last 5 years sitting n**e on a beach drinking coconuts? for staying single and not prioritizing men and dating? for not rushing into motherhood when it didn’t feel quite right? for dancing, walking in the forest, floating in the ocean all day?
my answer is always - i really fu***ng doubt it.
in case you needed to hear this. you’re right on time - and you’re doing it all perfectly 🤍
