It’s been a few months since my last post, good I don’t have a huge following yet. Jokes aside, I have been dealing with life and it’s challenges – as all of you have too. Slowly but surely working out my path in my mind. Navigating expectations, desires, money trouble, and new goals. That’s what tends to happen around the turning point of a new year, right? Creating an image, an idea of what you want your new identity to be like. Working to manifest this into your new life.

Of course, this doesn’t apply to everyone. Some people are happy with the way their life currently is unfolding – and that’s great, keep going. We all have to create that purpose for ourselves, a meaning that drives us forward. This continuous journey of self-exploration. Always fine-tuning and narrowing this purpose – until only one remains. What meaning do you bake into your life? What are the steps to achieve this?

Maybe this new you need some new hobbies, a way to express the creativity and potential that lies within? What form will this creativity take? These are difficult questions if you feel a little lost like we all do from time to time. I have been asking these questions leading up to Christmas and the new year. Still pondering the finer details. Taking more time to be in my own company, being in my own energy. It’s easy to be affected and swayed by others. This creates the time to ask the question of; “What do I REALLY want?”. Being completely honest with oneself.

This might mean shaving off time spent doing things you don’t find any meaning in. Spending less time with people that doesn’t really understand you, people that try to tell you what to do. Cutting out friends that only nourish your old self. These are the difficult choices. They are hard to make, and for some people, it’s not possible; it’s just who they are. That’s okay. We have to choose ourselves first. Finding and fulfilling that self-love, keeping the promise to ourselves. A promise that might have been put on ice for a long time. Choosing yourself is not selfish, it is necessary.

It feels amazing once you start to choose yourself. You feel free and responsible for your own life. Your own happiness. Wipe off those tears, clear your throat, stand up straight, tune in to your heart – You got this! This is your life, this is the new you.

Time to choose if you want to be a victim of life or a creator of life.

I don’t feel like I have more to say, just a short message for the people who might find this. These are things I have been going through lately that I think very many people have been going through as well. We always have each other, and there are always people in the same boat as you. I want to keep up my writing because I love it, and hopefully, it will reach someone who appreciates the message. And one day I will be able to make a living doing this. That would be amazing. Thank you for reading and supporting me, I got your back.

Have a lovely day, beautiful soul.
