~Reaching~
For most of my life, like a lot of us, I’ve been stuck in the future… stuck on who I would be, what I would create, how much I would matter, and to who. This left me in a constant state of longing, for more, for better, for bigger. Always in a rush to get to those big great things as soon as possible. So that I could maybe one day be noticed, maybe even appreciated for a contribution I’d made to the world. Talk about pressure…
This year I decided I want to enjoy life now and live in a way that will get me to those big dreams of mine without that obsession with the “finish line”. I decided to be nice to myself. To trust that if I were to do more of the small things I tell myself I want to do everyday, that I would surely arrive in a place more than fitting of my aspirations. I decided to loosen the grip, start accepting, and stop reaching.
Hope that made some sort of sense lol. I’m just out here makin’ word arrangements.
Special thanks to all those who have helped me slow down. I love you ❤️
Super special thanks *with a cherry on top* to .na for believing in my dreams enough to invest in them without even knowing what you’d get! You’re a real one bro! ❤️
