Still Becoming: Learning to Sit With Myself 🌿
A few days later, I found myself scrolling through my own posts. There were many of them — thoughts, reflections, emotions layered across time. At first, it felt overwhelming. But then I realised something powerful: every single post was part of the same journey. Becoming.
I’m glad I posted.
Some things still haven’t moved. The car remains stationary. In certain ways, life feels paused. At first, it felt like a deep pullback — mentally, emotionally, even physically. But somewhere in that stillness, something shifted. I stopped fighting. I stopped blaming. I began sitting with it.
And I’m here now.
Not because everything is perfect — but because I am choosing presence over resistance.
A conversation with my cousin grounded me. He said, “You have everything. You lack nothing. These are just minor setbacks.” That reminder shifted my perception.
Lately, I am learning that becoming is not about constant progress. It is about awareness.
Life needs structure. There must be seasons for self, seasons for others, and seasons for craft. Without structure, ideas scatter and energy weakens.
If I cannot say no to myself, I cannot truly say no to the world.
I may not be where I want to be yet. But I see differently now. And perhaps that is becoming.
