I’ve followed you for a long time on IG and I noticed the difference in your posting. I followed religiously during your mums accident and I felt relief when you posted she’d gone home. It feels as if I know you, yet I don’t. Reading this piece though, your voice was loud. Having heard you speak in your videos I could hear it in my head as I read the words. It was strange though as it felt like I was meeting an older version of you. Wiser. More at ease in your skin. Perhaps life has made us all seem older but these words felt real. Void of the polish that social media usually demands of us and I like it. I hope you write often.
I’ve followed you for a long time, and I always thought it was cool that we both went to Pace—we had that in common. You represented the life I wanted, and I’d always tell myself, ‘If she can do it, so can I.’
I don’t know if it was the same for you, but in my early 20s, I felt so confident—life was easy, and there was little to worry about. I thought I was mature, but looking back, I hadn’t really experienced much, especially when it came to heartbreak.
Now, at 30, I still have an amazing life, but I’ve been humbled by it too—and I’m so grateful for that. Can you imagine never feeling so deeply? Never fully understanding what others have been through? I see it as a superpower.
This past weekend, I left a six-year relationship that just wasn’t meant for me. And honestly, if life hadn’t humbled me over the years, who knows if I would have had the strength to walk away.
All of this to say—everything truly happens for a reason. And because of it, you come out stronger, wiser, and even more yourself.
