… I’m being gentler to myself
- Because I’ve been hard on myself for a long time
- Because the kindness I offer others should include me, too
- Because I don’t have to treat fear like a failure
- Because I am allowed to trust myself
- Because I don’t need everything figured out
- Because I’m allowed to change my mind
- Because rest doesn’t need to be earned
- Because slowing down isn’t failure
- Because presence matters more than perfection
- Because I don’t want to rush through my life
- Because I want to enjoy the day-to-day moments as much as the special ones
- Because saying no is OK
- Because moving forward can look like slowing down on purpose
My little brother once asked me if being 13 meant he was a grown up. Maybe this is what growing up actually looks like.
