I’d like to begin this post with a mantra:
My growth is sacred, my healing is mine.
I may outgrow people, places, and pieces of myself
and I owe no apology for the path I choose.
Today, I want to share something that can be incredibly difficult and emotional, but that also moves us forward in life and opens the way to uncharted territory – Change.
What is it that makes people so afraid of change? I mean real change. The kind of change where we throw ourselves into something and actually dare to do things that might seem a bit crazy, or where we challenge our own thoughts and beliefs.
I think we all carry, or at least have carried, that fear. I can only speak from my own experience, I can be quite resistant to change at times. But that’s probably mostly due to my stubbornness and the comfort that comes from the familiar.
But what about comfort? Can it sometimes hold us back from growth? I believe it can.
If we always stick to the safe path, even when something deep down feels wrong – what happens then? Absolutely nothing, except that bitterness will slowly start to settle in.
I’ve done a lot of strange things in my life, made both good and not-so-good choices – just like most people. I also know what it really means to change.
For me, it meant going through a storm of emotions, facing my darkest sides, learning to forgive myself, forgiving others even when they never apologized. I’ve walked away from friendships, and I’ve changed my perspective on the world as a whole.
But coming out on the other side of that storm is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I know that the person I used to be does not define who I am today. That kind of liberation is unlike anything else.
Change, to me, is now something natural – even though it can be challenging at times. But I also know that nothing is more challenging than staying in a place that doesn’t feel right. If there’s one thing I truly want to say here, it’s this: Dare. Stop caring about what others might think. It's your life – live it.
