Free spirit

My life has taken some unexpected twists and turns at times and I have always found it liberating to remind myself that I'm allowed to change my mind, my heart, and even who I am at my core. I’m allowed to wake up one morning and no longer want to do the things I've been doing all my life. I can choose to love who I want, to move on from people who don’t uplift me, and to let go of anyone without feeling the need to explain myself. It’s okay to make these choices without regret, even if it’s difficult at times. Mistakes are part of the journey. Each experience has played a role in shaping who I am.

I do sometimes feel the weight of the past pressing down on me. I also know that clinging to the past won’t help me grow. I don't live there anymore. Letting go is essential, and while it may feel uncomfortable, it’s a crucial in becoming who I want to be.

In my life I've had courage to change careers, end relationships, share a difference of opinion, dress in a way that reflects my true self, and to chase after the dreams that excited and scared me. It's natural to feel frightened by change, but when these times arise I have reminded myself that the comfort zone is where dreams go to die.

I acknowledge that there are parts of me that I'm not entirely fond of. I dislike certain aspects, but I also have the ability to change them. I work on those parts until I feel truly comfortable in my own skin and confident in myself.

This is my life. It’s a beautifully chaotic tale of experiences, emotions, and choices I've made. I am enough and I am not broken. I possess a strength that I sometimes underestimate. So... I am taking a moment to breathe and appreciate where I am right now. Each step I take in life is witness to my resilience and my commitment to living fully.

This is my life and I plan to embrace every moment of it.
