I’ve recently been thinking a lot about the impressions I leave on people. There are some out there who haven’t seen me in years, yet still assume they know who I am. But we are always changing, aren’t we?

There is no use in having others define who we are for us, they most likely don’t even know half the story. I enjoyed this!

This is beautiful, and such a needed reminder for me today- thank you for sharing, coming across this feels serendipitous and I’ll carry your words with me for a while.

“you’ve always known

you.” Stunning and in its simplicity and meaningful depth, so true.

Wise words. The road to bad decisions is often paved with well-meaning advice.

Yes, you do. YOU are the one, the center where you can put the pair of compasses if you want to draw a circle, where for instance connection can happen.
