Lately I’ve been forced into a pause I didn’t choose. After years of giving everything I had to my job, often at the expense of my own body, I’m recovering from a concussion and facing the reality that healing can’t be measured by productivity. What’s coming up for me is how tightly I’ve tied my identity to what I produce, how reliable I am, how much I can endure. Rest feels uncomfortable. Not because I don’t need it, but because somewhere along the way I learned that my value comes from output. I’m trying to learn how to be a person, not a performance. For those who have gone through injury, burnout, or a major life shift: How did you begin separating who you are from what you do? What helped you untangle worth from productivity, especially in a culture that rewards pushing through at all costs? I’m genuinely curious and open to learning.

Hello, my name is Susana. I'm 21 years old, trilingual, and still learning more languages—I’m a huge language enthusiast. This year, I’ve truly connected to God as part of my self-discovery journey. I’ve been praying before every meal with gratitude for everything, and having these mind-opening conversations with myself and God. I’ve never been happier... but I also struggle with understanding who I truly am. I feel I’m someone easily influenced, like a chameleon that changes with every connection. I consider myself a very empathetic person; to me, there’s no strict right or wrong, and I know human beings are naturally contradictory. But often, I change my own conceptions or ideas after listening to someone or even after watching videos online. It’s as though my own ideas aren’t strong or convincing enough for me. I don’t really like this idea of being “not authentic” or “not myself,” and I wonder if I’m people-pleasing—though it doesn’t entirely feel that way either. Does anyone understand what I’m trying to express? Is it wrong to be easily influenced? I’ve been writing a lot about my own ideas and trying to form a clearer concept of what I believe. But I still have this feeling that maybe the things that Im writing are not really myself.. maybe I’m not really myself. 🤔 (maybe iam overthinking)

As we approach the close of 2025, it’s a time for reflection and renewal. We recognize that this year has been about closing old chapters and letting go of relationships that no longer serve us. The losses we've experienced have been part of strengthening the human race. Now, we stand at a point where it’s no longer our role to awaken others, but rather to recognize who has stepped into that new awareness and who has not. We’ve done our part in holding the light and sharing the knowledge of the divine Creator with all who would listen. Now is the time to connect with those who are aligned with us in this new frequency, letting the rest follow their own paths. This journey is not meant for everyone, and that’s okay.
