38.
This past year changed me.
For a long time, I made myself smaller. I learned how to be quiet, how to adjust, how to make other people comfortable… even when it meant losing parts of myself.
I didn’t even realize how much of me I had pushed down.
But I see it now.
And I’m done shrinking.
Not for approval. Not to fit in. Not to be easier to understand.
I’m choosing to be fully myself again. The version of me that was always there before life taught me to hold back.
This isn’t about being loud. It’s about being real.
And I’m not holding that back anymore.
38 feels like freedom.
