I despised a small step I took early last year, because it took so much emotional currency and bravery to make that move and didn’t produce much (a perspective, not necessarily fact).
I let what I deemed a lack of results paralyze me.
My small steps currently are to put myself in a position to build on last year’s small step. I am accomplishing them, but haven’t given myself credit, distracted by the desire for the finished product.
What you’ve shared here encourages me to celebrate where I am. Appreciate you, Edgard 💙
"each object i have in my room is an intention, a testament to a choice made, a path taken." -> I think this is part of the reason why I'm so clingly about my flat I moved into in 2017. It was my first, "real" adult flat; i moved in alone and I live here alone (again), and all the things inside this flat have been gathered during specific times of my life. It took much effort to gather those objects, carry them through the city, and thus, there are no longer plain objects to me. They are my .... life, in a way. They are what I put together, intentionally, by myself. step by step. <3 to you.
I loved the message of this. I recently also realized that MY choices define MY life and no one else's - it's so scary but also so freeing. Thank you for sharing.
Also I'm a dmv girl so it warmed my heart that you spent time in dc :)
