The pressure I felt before—to have done everything, to have all the answers—it was based on this assumption that there's a deadline for becoming yourself. Like if I'm not experienced by a certain age, I've somehow failed. But what if that's completely backwards? What if being young and still forming your beliefs, your values, your understanding of the world—what if that's actually the gift?

I notice the people around me who seem most at peace aren't the ones who've had the most experiences. They're the ones who are genuinely curious about becoming better versions of themselves. They're not trying to prove anything to anyone. They're just... growing. Asking questions. Changing their minds when they learn something new. Not being so attached to who they think they should be that they can't become who they actually are. 💙

I want to give myself permission to still be in process. To not have everything figured out. To know that being inexperienced right now doesn't mean I'm behind—it means I have time to become whoever I'm meant to be without all the baggage of trying to undo mistakes that came from rushing. 🌿

Is it possible that the real achievement isn't getting as much experience as possible, but rather becoming intentional about the experiences you do have? 🤔
