Disassociation

What happens when you start avoiding yourself for too long? You run from feelings you don’t want to feel and keep running until you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

I used to feel motivated and have goals and lately that version of me feels far away and unrecognizable.

Two toddlers keep me fighting for the future, proving to them- or maybe to myself- that there’ more to life than what I’ve experienced thus far and always more lessons to be learned. That there are other ways to define and express yourself and that it’s okay to actually focus on yourself sometimes.

Like a tree, we too can shed our leaves and grow them back as we get older. The seasons will repeat but time will continuously change everything around us.

This is everyone’s reminder to keep pushing. keep trying to be a better version of yourself.
