I looked at old photos today. Photos from when I thought I had it all figured out. When I was so confident in my path. And then life happened. Plans fell apart. Dreams died. I failed in ways I never imagined I could fail. For a long time I saw those failures as proof that I wasn't good enough. That I'd never measure up. That I should just give up. But today I realized something. Those failures were just redirections. Painful ones. But redirections nonetheless. I'm saying goodbye to the life I thought I'd have. The timeline I thought I was supposed to follow. The version of success I was chasing that was never mine to begin with. I don't know what comes next. But I'm finally okay with not knowing. Here's to starting over. Again.
