Not long ago, I realized I consume information but rarely implement it. At first, I told myself it was because life was busy. When the busyness slowed, I had to relearn how to live. I can now see exactly what I was not implementing. Not from lack of insight, but from misalignment. So I asked myself a harder question. Would I date me?
Honestly, no. I would not want someone to be with me if it meant they had to abandon themselves. I want to be with someone grounded. Someone anchored. Someone who does not disappear to be chosen. That realization changed how I approach my inner work. I am doing it differently now. Not to fix myself, but to become embodied. Choosing integration over accumulation. Presence over performance. I am learning how to stay with myself.
P.S. I am about to start dating myself. Not out of loneliness, but out of intention. I want to learn who I am becoming by spending time with her, listening to her, and staying present with her.
