unlikely journey
In essence, what I’ve done in the last month is similar to what Simone Biles, the gold medal gymnast, did after the Tokyo Olympics three years ago. As someone put it, she allowed herself to fall apart in order to rebuild. I, too, had to reach a breaking point where I could barely function, experiencing profound emotional breakdowns, to give myself the time and space to gradually find my way back. I had to be brutally honest with myself about what parts of my life were depleting me and what parts were nourishing. I’m still on this journey, but I’m happy to say I’m feeling more grounded, clearer about my path, and more at ease today.
