This current reinvention of self has me hopeful for the future in ways I have never experienced before. I refuse to believe in anything less. I've moved through doubt, healed a lot physically & mentally, and stepped into growth. It's a strange place to be, given the state of the world, but I find it giving me a deeper appreciation for beauty, space, patience, inspiration, and kindness. I'm still struggling with my own expectations, even though I plainly see that in the moments those are quieted, the growth happens. As I'm sitting here thinking about it, I'm realizing maybe I should quit pressuring myself to drop those expectations 😅 le sigh... I'm just so excited about life... It's been a hot minute since I've felt that way.

I haven't brought it up in a while. It feels a little weird to be candid now. But.... Still here. Still going. Love & gratitude. 💜 g'night 😊
