Farewell to a year that has brought so much change and happiness to my life I didn’t know was possible.
2021, thank you for teaching me how to me gentler, kinder and lighter to myself.
Thank you for showing me how to trust my intuition and how to “follow what feels good” as opposed to “doing the right thing”.
I’m so grateful for learning how to clear space and let go of things that are no longer meant for me.
2021 has shown me how loosening my grip and releasing control can result in miracles.
I now know it’s OK not to have a plan for every step of the way. One step at a time is the new “plan”.
I also understood that I don’t have to explain myself to anyone - because I know that those with kindred minds will get it without words, and those who don’t get it, but love me, will not ask for explanations nor judge.
I’m so grateful for all the friendships, love, adventures, laughter and lessons this year has brought me.
I now know that we don’t have to be one thing, and I’ve learnt to appreciate the ALSO’s in me. I can consult clients in Fintech, and ALSO run meditation and self-development workshops, and ALSO go on full body detox programs in the jungle, and ALSO enjoy 9-course-tasting menu’s in Michelin star restaurants. I can fuck up, and ALSO say I’m sorry. I can be harsh at times, but ALSO a great friend and a shoulder to cry on. No-one is their worst moment, their worst thought, their worst behaviour. We all have ALSO’s in us.
I’ve also learnt that nothing lasts forever - not the darkest hours, nor the highest highs. If darkness comes, it’s ok, it shall pass. And if it’s happiness - we must enjoy every second, and be grateful for it, as it won’t last forever either. The frequency of life.
2021, thanks for showing me that life is just a series of choices. I now know that whatever we are not changing, we are consciously choosing. If you want different, you have to move different.
2021, thank you, I needed you and I’m excited about what’s coming next.
