I spent years trying to earn my place in the world.
Trying to do more, be more, offer more.
I believed that my worth lived somewhere just beyond my reach—
in the next achievement, the next breakthrough, the next version of myself.
But slowly, gently, that belief started to unravel.
And in its place, something softer arrived.
The knowing that I don’t have to prove anything.
The quiet truth that who I am—right now, as I am—is already enough.
Enough even when I’m tired.
Enough even when I’m still figuring it out.
Enough in my joy. Enough in my mess.
My value isn’t a transaction.
It isn’t earned through performance or perfection.
It’s inherent. It’s lived. It’s felt.
So here I am—
no longer chasing, no longer justifying.
Just breathing.
Just being.
And it turns out… that’s not giving up.
That’s coming home.
This is enough.
And so am I.
