✨👋🏼 BYE BYE 2024 👋🏼✨
This year has taught me so much about the harm of stress and pressure—the constant push to be better, do more, or prove something. Both on a personal level, but also as the main focus of today’s society and social media overflow. I’m learning to end the year as I am, without needing it to look perfect or compare it to some ideal, or growth culture.
I’m reminded of a book I got in college, Do Your Thing in Your Own Way (or something like that). It was a simple idea, but it stuck with me. There’s something freeing about allowing life to unfold on your own terms, in your own time.
Ending 2024 with a new job, beautiful friends and family, less stress, and a heart that’s learning to hold love even for the messy, challenging parts. The hard things—the ones that push me—bring growth. But it’s in the soft moments, where I rest and reflect, that the growth truly becomes part of who I am at my core.
As I close this chapter to start a new one, I want to finally leave behind the need to rush or strive for perfection. And I want to bring with me the courage to stand for what I believe in, share more of who I am and the gifts I want to bring to this world.
But also to fully allow myself to move at my own pace without rush. Because I am dedicated to both finish and start with a heart full of love, strength and hope for a better world for us all.
Come what may ♥️
