It’s honestly been a while since I’ve posted here. I don’t even know where to start from, but I guess I’ll just say life has been happening, and somehow I got swept up in it all. No excuses really, because if I’m being honest, I could have squeezed out time here and there to post. But the truth is, I just needed that time for myself, and looking back now, I think it was the right thing to do.
I’ve been roaming around life and everything in between, trying to figure things out, trying to catch my breath, trying to find my balance. Some days were good, some days were confusing, but at the end of it all, I’m just grateful for growth.
One of the big things that happened during this time away was picking up a new skill.
I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but starting something new can be so intimidating at first. You doubt yourself a lot, you wonder if you’re wasting your time, you worry about whether you’re even good enough. I went through all those feelings, trust me. But somehow, I kept going. Little by little, day by day, I improved. And now, I can boldly say things are going a little bit as expected. Not perfect, not exactly the way I dreamed it, but definitely moving forward.
One of the biggest blessings is that my income has improved.
I now have a stable source of income, something I can finally rely on without stressing every single day. For someone who’s struggled with financial ups and downs for a while, this honestly feels like such a huge weight off my shoulders. I still have a long way to go to reach my bigger goals, but honestly, having that little bit of security has made a huge difference in my mindset and even how I see myself.
Also, something deeper is going on with me too, something I’m still trying to fully understand and put into words. It’s like I’m stepping into a new version of myself slowly, not rushing it, but embracing it as it comes. I’m realizing it’s okay to outgrow certain versions of yourself, to leave behind habits and mindsets that no longer fit who you’re becoming.
If I had to sum it up, I’d say I don’t regret taking that time away.
I needed it. I needed to upgrade myself, mentally, emotionally, even spiritually in some ways. And now that I’m back, I feel like I have so much more to share, not just the good parts, but the messy parts too. I think that’s where real connection happens, when we’re not pretending everything is perfect but sharing the real stuff we’re going through and learning from one another.
So, here I am, back again, hoping to reconnect, hoping to share and learn and grow together with everyone here. I’ve missed being a part of this space more than I realized.
Thanks for reading this little life update. I can’t wait to catch up with everyone else’s journeys too. Let’s keep growing and winning, one step at a time.
