i will never have
this version of me again
let me slow down
and be with her
for the past few years i’ve been “living in the future”…so focused on where i want to go that i didn’t enjoy where i was. that’s how i missed everyday blessings. we live in a time where there is such an emphasis on self-improvement that the concept is packaged and sold to us. seems like no matter how much we “improve” there’s still an endless list of programs. products. things to do and buy that will make us whole. happier. smarter. healthier. and complete. i have nothing against these things- everyone should do what makes them happy. but for me: i wasn’t approaching self-improvement from the perspective that “i am enough but doing xyz won’t hurt”. i approached self-improvement from the perspective that “i’m not good enough- i must do everything to improve”. and that was a self-destructive cycle. the drill sergeant in my head was so unforgiving!
