I’m not embarrassed to say that life has humbled me more than once. Back then, I thought everything was straightforward and that dealing with people wasn’t too complicated, until real situations proved me wrong. Looking back now, I can see just how much I didn’t actually understand.
I believed I was mature, and to some extent I was. But my mindset didn’t always align with others. Sometimes I approached things with reason and logic, other times I let emotions run the show. The hardest part was trying to balance the two and in that struggle, I messed up. Those mistakes though, ended up teaching me some of the most important lessons.
I’m far from perfect and I don’t pretend to be but one thing I hold onto is knowing I never acted out of malice. My heart has always been in the right place.
I used to get stuck on the question "why". Why me, why this, why now... But I’ve realized that asking "why" doesn’t always move you forward. Sometimes you just have to shift the focus and move on.
I’m not trying to reinvent myself because I genuinely like who I am. I value my sincerity, my kindness, my ability to care, give and forgive. But I also know growth is necessary and I also know that growing doesn’t mean losing oneself, it means polishing who you already are by taking the lessons life throws at you and using them to evolve (just like a Pokemon).
