*Happy To Be Me*
If you see me looking happy, you should know it’s not an accident.
If you see me looking happy, you should know I had to fight to get here. The path wasn’t easy and rarely felt clear.
There was a time I didn’t believe happiness could find me, I suppose I was right.
I used to believe happiness would come when I did everything right. When I looked good enough, when I was loved enough, when I was successful enough, when I was acceptable enough.
The problem was I looked for happiness outside of me. I gave myself away for free. I didn’t understand that I was already everything I needed to be.
Then one day, I said this is not the way it’s supposed to be, I need to find my way back to me.
So I peeled back the layers and took a good look inside. I had to face my darkness and stand up to my fears.
I had to make some room and get rid of all the baggage others left behind, I had to polish and shine the gifts that I had.
I had to gently lay out my challenges and slowly uncover the parts of me that felt shameful and wrong.
I’m afraid this part of the story isn’t like a movie where the main character makes a mistake to realise what they needed and then life was wonderful. This part was long, difficult and very uncomfortable.
And, it was filled with glimmers, moments of feeling like the real me, times I felt stronger, proud, brave.
One thing really changed, my belief that I can create something important.
My happiness is not based in having it all figured out, being perfect, having a successful business.
It’s in the messy, imperfect, unpredictable life that I created. It’s knowing no matter what, I have me.
I am 43 late diagnosis ADHD (and probably some other things thrown in) my body does peculiar things, I’m emotional, loud, passionate, run on AA batteries & caffeine, enormously sensitive but hugely caring.
I swing dramatically between the polar opposites, I take my business and work incredibly seriously and I am literally driven to do this work differently- in a way that is human and inclusive.
If you want a therapist who wants to see you and help you find that peace and happiness too - you have found me.
