Hi YOU!!! i want to start this space by taking you with me for a moment 🤍 back to a time where life felt a lot simpler, where my days were filled with running outside after dinner 🌿 making up games that didn’t need rules, climbing, laughing, being completely in the moment without even realizing it, because playing wasn’t something i had to think about or plan or be good at, it was just something that naturally existed, something that felt like being alive ✨ and somewhere along the way, without really noticing when it happened, that slowly started to fade, because i became more aware of everything around me, of how i was seen, of whether i belonged, of whether i was doing things right, and instead of just being, i started trying, trying to be better, trying to fit in, trying to understand myself, trying to keep up with everything that felt expected of me, and my life slowly became something that was filled with doing, with improving, with constantly moving towards something 💭 and even later, when i thought i was taking care of myself by doing all the “right” things, like creating routines, working on myself, moving my body, learning, growing, trying to become the best version of myself, there was still this quiet feeling underneath that something wasn’t fully right, because if i’m really honest, i was doing everything except actually listening to what i needed, until my body, in its own way, asked me to stop 🤍 and in that space of not being able to continue the way i always had, something shifted, not in a big or dramatic way, but in a very small and honest one, where i slowly allowed myself to do things again without a purpose, without an outcome, without needing it to become something. I started to play 🎈 in the simplest ways, by drawing without needing it to be good, by moving without thinking about how it looked, by creating without turning it into something productive, and in that space i didn’t suddenly become a better version of myself, but i started to feel more like myself again ✨ yES, FiNally!
