Reflecting about the year on the way home today. Thinking FML I’m knackered, to then literally scroll to see a reel with a quote that couldn’t sum up me right now.
‘What a privilege to be tired from the work you once begged the universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life he created on purpose and what a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.’
It’s a killer bars that sang so loud. This year has put me in a physical and mental mindset that has allowed me to fly past boundaries I didn’t know I could overcome. Moment where I knew I was susceptible to allowing mental anxieties to takeover have been put at bay.
I’ve said it before, but I have a lot to be thankful for but there are no words that can describe the bond I have for those I share blood with and those I consider my family. I have learned and continue to do so through your triumphs and your failures and I’m grateful to be close enough to see them. More so because I feel for the first time as though I can allow myself to lean on should I need be and know that if happen to fall, I know my people have me.
I am humbled for the first time. I mean it.
I’m not one for being so as I am a firm believer that having to be humble is allowing those intimidated by your potential to settle you. For me, it’s knowing really what I’m capable of.
To be tired for having done the thing that you dreamt of doing is a beautiful blessing. To have people around me to do it with is a greater one.
I pray that inshallah, you all have an experience like mine or greater in the coming year and there after.
HNY.
