I really love how you closed this, Odel — quietly, patiently, like you were guiding us back to the beginning just to show that the beginning was never lacking. The tree and butterfly metaphors felt so gentle here, but they still landed like truth. Reading your reflection made me want to breathe a little slower, and maybe let myself be exactly where I am without rushing to the ‘final form’ everyone keeps imagining for us~
We sometimes forget to live fully our present, chasing an image of our best version. And I'm always questioning myself about that. Am I living or just surviving ?
What is the best way of enjoying my life today preparing for tomorrow?
Every step count and we should enjoying them even when we don't feel like to.
Let yourself be, and enjoy this version of yourself.../
