I’m not proud of who I’ve become.

I’m not proud of who I’ve become….

Because I haven’t become anyone…

I’ve simply peeled back the layers of who I thought I was supposed to be, and in that process…

I found Me.

Yes, I am proud, but not because of who I’ve become…

I am proud of the times I’m courageous enough to show up as my Self, fully & unapologetically…

I am proud when I know I’m not showing up as my Self fully, and I give my Self compassion & grace, instead of criticism & shame…

I am proud of myself for loving my Self in a world that tells me I shouldn’t…

I am proud of who I’ve always been…underneath my layers & layers & layers of conditioning.

I didn’t become the woman I am today…

I revealed to the world the woman I was all along.

I didn’t find myself…

I owned my Self - I embraced every part of my story & accepted ALL parts of Me.

I didn’t become Me…

I embodied Me.

XO,

Stacie
