from free-floating to grounded… (life update)
It’s wild how life can shift when you finally let go and just trust where it’s taking you. Atlanta was never part of the “master plan,” but somehow, this city has brought me closer to myself than I’ve felt in a long time. There’s a different kind of magic in waking up to the atlanta skyline outside my window—well… not right out side but a quick walk down the hall isn’t too bad feels like a personal reset button. It’s peaceful, it’s mine, & most importantly, it feels like home. I’m not just existing. I’m grounded, intentional, & moving with purpose.
There’s a calm that comes when you realize you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. I’m learning to embrace the stillness without fearing it. Atlanta has given me space to grow, to reflect, and to heal in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. I’ve traded uncertainty for clarity, chaos for peace, & I can genuinely say I’m proud of the life I’m building here. This chapter feels different—like I’m no longer chasing something, but finally catching up to myself.
I've learned that it's ok to put yourself first, even when that decision shifts how people see you. Growth doesn't always look graceful, & choosing peace sometimes means being misunderstood-but learning to be at peace with that too. I'm not who l was four months ago, & that's something I'm proud of. This chapter is about alignment, self-respect, and building the kind of life I don't feel the need to escape from & if that makes me selfish in someone else's story, so be it. In mine, it means I finally chose me.
Hopefully you choose you…
