Chrysalis

2023 - what a damn year it has been.

I spent the majority of the year battling an internal feeling that I wasn't doing enough. As someone who has often equated my self-worth to how productive I am, I found myself in an uncomfortable state of stillness - neither moving forward nor backward.

I am just....existing.

This is a rare feeling for me. I find comfort in evolving - spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and in my career. I have always been goal-oriented and it feels good knowing I have something tangible to achieve, but this year was different. I had no distinct goal to work towards and no clear direction to head in. Even making simple decisions became an impossible task. It has taken me until this point to realize that this was my year in the chrysalis. Although no visible changes or successes emerged, I experienced significant inner growth during those uncomfortable and unfamiliar moments of stillness. Often our biggest transformations come from moments like this.

Despite what society teaches us – it is okay to have these moments of uncertainty. I permit myself to continue doing the hard work to discover what I want my life to be like.

I hope we all break free from the things holding us back this year and emerge our best and most authentic selves.

Cheers to 2024 and spreading our wings once and for all!
