pieces & progress

Many more pieces have fallen into place in my life than there used to be. I still don’t know much, but I know I am happier now. I found — and built — some things I really love.

The journey to arrive in places of self-realization, self-compassion, and self-empowerment can be a struggle. It takes a lot of hard work to become who you are meant to be and to live the life you most deeply desire. It’s a path of heart and constant discovery and necessary resilience.

The developments in your Self are hard won. Through lived experience, we learn about ourselves and the world, we learn how to take care of ourselves, and we grow in capacity for grace, wisdom, and contentment.

Life is magic. Sometimes, we have to work persistently to learn how to see it. Once we’ve seen it, it’s hard to go back.
