But lately I'm wondering if maybe true growth isn't about forcing yourself to change. Maybe it's about getting to know yourself so well that you naturally become who you're meant to be. 💫 Like the difference between a plant that's forced to grow under artificial light versus one that just grows toward the sun because that's what it does.

I notice I'm harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. I have this voice in my head that's constantly pointing out what I'm not, what I haven't achieved, how I'm not progressing fast enough. And I wonder where that voice came from and whether I actually need it. 🤔 What if the real work is learning to listen to the quiet voice underneath that—the one that knows what actually matters to me, separate from what I think should matter?

I'm starting to trust my own unfolding. To believe that if I'm honest with myself and patient with myself, the person I'm becoming will be exactly the person I need to be. Not perfect. Not finished. But real.

What if self-improvement is actually just self-acceptance in disguise? 🌸
