METAMORPHASIS

I had to let go of the idea of bringing back the "old me." There was a time I wanted to go back. There still are. I can accept that desire without acting upon it. Like we should do with most of our desires. (A lot of yall need a lesson in that lol.) I take each new emergence along my journey a little more seriously than the last. METAMORPHASIS. Is my north star this year. Last year was all about gathering information. I gathered so much information that I overwhelmed myself with renewal, rejuvenation, and replenishment. I uncovered parts of myself that I had always pushed down and away because I was too worried about prioritizing others before myself. I took time to understand my place in this world as an individual. I sat with my thoughts and feelings every single day. This is a lonely process. This is a selfish process. This is a process that people will see you going through on the outside and make you feel like a bad person for focusing on yourself on the inside. You don't go through reflection and self-discovery with others, you do it alone. It's the only way. I completed the mission. And I didn't even have to think about the next step... it just happened and came to me naturally. After reflection, development, and growth comes thriving, flourishing, and putting what I've learned into action. I will change, that's one thing for sure. Some will stay along for the ride, while others dodge, duck, dip, dive, and... dodge (IYKYK) . A profound change or transformation. I'll be just recognizable enough to be unrecognizable. See you on the other side. <3
