“you do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process”

Theres no beating around the bush when it comes to growth. Diving head in always seems like a good investment to face my challenges with bare truths. It’s definitely easier said than done but being comfortable with the uncomfortable in different aspects of life has been my goal for tackling growth for a while. It feels like its been a long journey to get to the point I'm at right now and I guess this is somewhat a gratefulness letter from me to the world on some of the things that has been quite major in my life
these past few years have been about me
me aligning with me
me truly learning how to sit down and just listen to my true heart and mind
me unlearning all the bullshits life and people has taught me to believe about myself and the world
me seeing without the filters
me opening up my vulnerabilities and letting me ... just be unapologetically me.
It almost feels like my whole journey to life was about and still about me learning how to love myself .. and recently .. with God.
I've learned that everyone has their own level of balance in their life which makes them whole and progressive
I've learned to love the process of figuring that out and everything intwined with it
I've learned to love my process and not judge others for theirs
I've learned to forgive those that judged mine and continue to focus on what God has planned for me
'Learned' does not mean I am 100% at it but I know I am 100% with it. It's really is 100% harder said than done 😂 *plays Breakeven by the Script*
Through this sweet, bitter and sour journey of life and getting to know myself and everything else around me with God, some of the topics I’ll be sharing on will be surrounding mental health, culture, arts, fashion, business and fitness that will be intwined with the experiences and activities that goes on with my life and those around me.
And with that I promise myself that I will stay consistent with my truths, personally and publicly for whatever I do in life - and for this blog, my writings, intentions and purpose.
Peace and love,
Lydia D’Cruz ❤️
