The Journey to Meet Myself

Egypt · October 2023

October 2023. Egypt.

I didn’t know then how much of myself I was about to meet.

I look back at the woman in these moments now and realize she was already becoming me. She didn’t know everything that was ahead of her. She didn’t know what she would be asked to release, what would fall away, what would break her heart, or how many times she would have to find her way back to herself.

But something had already begun.

Since Egypt, I have been becoming the woman I am today.

Some parts of that journey have been beautiful. Some have been painful. Some have required me to let go of versions of myself I had outgrown—even when I wasn’t ready to admit it.

And all of it has brought me closer to myself.

Under this Full Moon in Aries, I can feel more of those pieces coming together. Not because everything is finished or because I have arrived somewhere, but because I recognize myself differently now.

There is a woman here whom I have fought very hard to know.

And perhaps that has been the journey all along—not becoming someone new, but returning, again and again, to the woman who was always underneath it all.

My life keeps teaching me how to love myself.

And when I forget, how to find my way back.
