Dear Life. A confession. I still cry when things get really tough. I live in a hustle culture and being busy is the new norm. It feels like I'm cramming as much as I can into each waking moment, the world tells me I'm not living my true potential. And when I feel like I'm failing and falling behind, this is when it's hard to stay inspired and difficult to find steady ground to stand on. I apologise for creating my own heartbreaks through expectations because of all the rushing around. I forgot to stay still and open myself up to your very natural flow. And that it's okay to get lost, to backtrack, to reimagine, and to try again. Nothing is wasted because it all counts. You are challenging, but you are also empowering. I keep rising from the aches of being and learning to let go of not knowing. Life, I trust in your timing.
