the trick isn't finding yourself, it's letting yourself be found. I spent so long building walls, crafting an identity I thought would protect me. Turns out, all I needed to do was open the gate and trust that what was meant to find me, would. The real work was in believing I was worthy of being seen, truly seen. Like a river cutting through stone, the letting go is the work. I thought I had to climb the mountain, plant my flag. Turns out, I just needed to step aside and watch the valley rise to meet me.
