Maybe...

all of them.

Iā€™ve been thinking about that a lot lately.Maybe weā€™ve spent too much of our lives asking.

Who am I?

Maybe the better question is,

Where do I come alive?

Maybe weā€™re not searching for a different life.

Maybe weā€™re searching for somewhere we no longer have to leave parts of ourselves behind.

Iā€™d love to hear from you.

Where do you come alive?

Is it a place? A person? A relationship? A community? Or something you canā€™t quite explain?

Share your thoughts in the comments.

Iā€™d love to hear where you feel most like yourself.
-Maria

For a long time, I thought being strong meant not needing anyone.

I became very good at figuring things out quietly.
At carrying things alone.
At saying ā€œIā€™m fineā€ before anyone could ask twice.
At struggling in private so nobody would ever have to see me struggle.

From the outside, it probably looked like independence.

But underneath it was something else.

It was fear of being seen as incapable. Fear of being too much. Fear that if I admitted I didnā€™t know, couldnā€™t cope, or needed help, somehow I would become less worthy.

So I learned to hide the hard parts.

And that became exhausting.

Because there is a difference between being capable and feeling like you always have to prove that you are.

When something feels off,

notice how fast you try to override it.

Donā€™t fix it right away.

Donā€™t explain it away.

Just catch it.

That moment right thereā€¦

thatā€™s where the work actually is.
