Becoming is not loud.
It is slow.
It is sacred.
It is honest.
Many of us are navigating our way through becoming…
but we have not yet told ourselves the whole truth.
Becoming requires work.
The kind that asks you to sit with your thoughts.
To trace your patterns back to their origin.
To gently question what you were taught about love, worth, survival.
It asks you to uncover
the hidden agreements you made with pain.
The stories you swallowed.
The silence you mastered.
You cannot accept what you cannot change
until you lay it
on the table of your heart and mind
and call it by name.
Your future self
is waiting on your current self
to repair the cracks in the foundation.
Not to shame them.
Not to hide them.
But to mend them
so you can finally build
without fear of collapse.
What you seek from others:
patience, grace, reassurance, honesty,
require it of yourself first.
Becoming is not about perfection.
It is about truth.
And truth, beloved,
is where freedom begins.
