Seeing the changes in what I want now compared to what I thought was the ultimate goal a few years ago is shocking. I’m still struggling with fully accepting that the picture I had in my head of how I wanted my life to look isn’t the only right way.
We’ve been taught to aim for certain things in life. We’ve been taught to strive and work towards a certain lifestyle. Allowing myself to want something else and accepting that something else can be just as good, if not better than the original plan, is hard.
But I see that with each passing year, experience and conversation, I’m getting closer to letting go of what I thought my life “should” look like and finding acceptance in knowing that what I want now is more than okay.
