There’s a version of me I keep mourning. The one who had more energy. The one who didn’t have to overthink basic things like eating enough, staying hydrated, or remembering why she walked into a room. The one who wasn’t constantly trying to fix something inside herself.
I miss her, but I also don’t know if she ever really existed. Maybe I was just better at ignoring what needed healing. Maybe I was running on autopilot, mistaking survival for ease.
I don’t want to be her again. I want to be who I am now, just with more softness. More patience. More grace for the days that feel heavy.
Because maybe healing isn’t about going back. Maybe it’s about finally learning how to stay.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the way we romanticize “starting fresh.” The big Monday reset, the first-of-the-month motivation, the new year’s clean slate. It’s like we’re waiting for permission to begin again, as if change only counts when it comes wrapped in a perfect timestamp.
But real life doesn’t work like that. Sometimes the best changes happen on a random Thursday at 3:42 p.m. when you finally decide you’re tired of your own excuses. Sometimes the real shift isn’t dramatic. It’s just choosing to drink water instead of skipping meals, finally ordering that supplement you keep saying you’ll try, or taking a walk when your brain tells you to stay in bed.
It doesn’t have to be a grand reset. It just has to be today.
It’s not yoga on the beach. It’s not journaling in a cozy cafe.
It’s crying in the shower. It’s letting go of people you thought would be in your life forever. It’s feeling like you’re falling apart while trying to piece yourself back together.
But here’s what no one tells you It’s worth it.
Because every tear you shed, Every hard decision you make, Every step you take toward healing—
It’s leading you to a version of yourself you’ve never met before.
A stronger A kinder more resilient version of you.

Hey, you.
It’s okay to take a deep breath
and just be today.
You don’t have to fix everything at once.
Healing isn’t a race—
It’s messy,
it’s nonlinear,
but it’s yours. 🌿
You’re doing better than you think.
Keep going.

Healing isn’t pretty.
It’s not yoga on the beach.
It’s not journaling in a cozy cafe.
It’s crying in the shower.
It’s letting go of people you
thought would be in your life forever.
It’s feeling like you’re falling apart while
trying to piece yourself back together.
But here’s what no one tells you
It’s worth it.
Because every tear you shed,
Every hard decision you make,
Every step you take toward healing—
It’s leading you to a version of
yourself you’ve never met before.
A stronger
A kinder
more resilient
version of you.
Healing isn’t easy.
But it’s always worth it.
