Ennui

I've realized this past week that one of my strengths is creating a platform and a space for people to be themselves, to express who they are, and to share what they're going through. I think feeling seen and creating a community that fosters that is one of the most important things I could leave behind in my lifetime, and I want to continue making space for that in my life.

I know I created this space for myself, and sometimes I can become selfish and focus too much on my own perspective, but I've realized that it's just as important, if not more important, to create that same space for other people. To give people the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and understood.

The more I chase authenticity, the less authentic I become. I don't need to force it. I just need to continue believing in what feels true to me and creating space for others to do the same. I believe that can change the world because it's already changed mine, and I'm just grateful that I've been given the gift to share it.
