There’s Still Time for You to Be Who You Want to Be

You are allowed to let go of your old dreams. You are allowed to redesign your plan for your life because what you had decided upon years ago was chosen for a person you no longer are. You are not born to do just one job, play just one role, be just one person. You are a constant evolution. You are a continual unfolding. You haven’t met every part of yourself yet. You haven’t unearthed every desire. There is more to you and there is more to life. To know and understand this, you first have to do the most subversive thing, which is to leap without knowing where, exactly you will land.

How do you want your life to look like? That’s your dream. Anything else was something you crafted out of an idea of what someone else would want. The truth is that the only safe choice is to follow our hearts, this is because anything else leaves us a fraction of the people we intended to be. You are allowed to pursue something else for the person you will one day become.

You are allowed to keep choosing. You are allowed to let go. Maybe right now your journey is about hope. Right now you are being given the space to discover the kinds of places that leave your bones dripping with feeling. Kinds of songs that are yours and yours alone. Maybe right now you are given a chance to reclaim your joy to make it to the most natural extension of who you are, to let it spill out of your words and your laughter and your tears. To let it be something you believe you are worthy of to let it be something you believe you deserve.

Right now your journey is about you. Challenge yourself in this season to be your own saviour. To be your own safe place. Maybe right now you are being reminded that the people who walked away were only ever leading you back to yourself . They were only leading you here. And here, you are okay on your own.  Here you are rebuilding, reclaiming all the pieces you let them walk away with. You are allowed to be kinder with your soul, you are allowed to give yourself the same kind of love you have always given to others.

You are allowed to make this journey about you, alone. Maybe this is the season you are being challenged to learn how to wake up in the middle of the night, to finally find hope in the vacancy, hope in the quiet, hope in the way you stretch into your life and give yourself permission to take up space within it. Maybe right now you are being shown that you can take care of yourself, that you can depend on the person you have become. That you can be your own home no matter how life tries to weather you.

You are allowed to keep choosing.
