I tried to explain this new stage to people I was feeling into words but could never get it right, but you said it all, "growing out of old dreams, releasing roles, or whispering truths that feel inconvenient" this must definitely be a right of passage of some sort because so many people are in this state of growth and it feels soo good! Welcome Home Necole, you were missed!!!
I agree on the right of passage! This stage is very beautiful and also very awkward. It's hard to recognize anything that's in my life right now because everything has changed so much. I'm willing to navigate it out loud though! Thank you so much for the kind words.
I felt this at a deeper level. I entered this year knowing I wanted less people to have access to me. I didn't want to be seen because i've been misunderstood by people who had no idea who I was and after a while it becomes soul exhausting. I no longer keep up, I no longer know what's going on. Tiktok is my bridge to the world and I think the collective as a whole is just moving away from means that are preventing us from being present and private.
Very relatable, thank you for putting into words what this current season feels like. As unfamiliar as it may, oftentimes, feel—it excites me to know I’m not alone. If anything, it comforts me to know that although it is a journey we need to go on “alone” to rediscover who we are as “individuals”, there’s still a community that is on the same path. Just like run clubs, book clubs—writing and having these discussions (on here) is cultivating the support and encouragement we may need to push through and look forward to the joy that lies ahead of what’s next.
