I had a thought earlier this year: "Have I made it? Am I doing it right?" But I caught myself. I'd entered the trap of thinking. Of the what ifs and what nows. That, I learned, is not the way.
The way is to sit down with your little self over a refreshing glass of lemonade. Answer all questions honestly. Be present. And listen.
I turned 28 and it took me 3 years to realize that, as kids, we know exactly what we want. It's almost as if we can look through the illusion of life and grab our destiny. But then we grow old, we forget, we get distracted.
3 years until I finally confirmed that what was calling me was true. That it was time to follow in these footsteps, to chase those lemons over and over. Thank you so much for writing this, you've given me yet another reason to think I'm on the right path.
I can actually relate to everything in this post. Including the eye part🤧.
The fact that I just went through some of the notes I wrote as a child and in my teenage years over the weekend. Everything you said is the truth and I really needed to hear them cause I have been going through it these past weeks and it was really overwhelming, I'm not going to lie but here I am again restarting my story all over again, again.
