everything is falling into place like a puzzle. the pieces are coming together.
slowly, at first, i make the outline, the corners and edges coming together so i can fill in what’s missing from within.
that’s harder - placing the missing pieces from within, putting them together just right so they all fit together perfectly.
sometimes you get a piece to almost fit, but something isn’t quite right about it. so you leave it for now and come back to it later.
slowly, slowly, the pieces fit together.
one-by-one the puzzle begins to take form. you can see where it’s going. you can see the image and vision becoming more and more clear with each piece that is locked into place.
until, finally, there is but one piece missing.
you set it in place and take a look at what you’ve created - the boundaries, the heartbreak, the healing, the memories, the lessons, the experiences… all coming together to complete this version of you.
and, for a moment, everything has fallen into place and you are whole.
there was a time when you longed for guidance, for reassurance, for someone to remind you that you were capable, worthy, and enough.
now, you are that person.
you are no longer waiting for direction, you are choosing your own path.
no longer seeking permission, you are giving it to yourself.
no longer moving through life untethered, you are rooted in who you are becoming.
this version of you is the one your younger self needed.
the one who stands in their power, who makes choices with intention,
who no longer drifts but decides.
step fully into that.
become the person you once longed for.
they have been waiting for you.
become the person you once longer for - they've been waiting for you
the return + the becoming
