After listening to a beautiful song shared here this morning, I sat back and thought to myself, “I’m going to start living as though I’m already living my life as I hope to.”
It’s amazing how one thought can open so many doorways to self-awareness. I had a flashback to being a child and having that feeling of “one day I’ll be able to escape from here and be free to be me.”
What I hadn’t realised until now is that I have maintained that belief. My life will start *after* I get out of “this current situation.” But what I’ve been doing is just continuously living that fantasy. There has never been an “after” where I do actually begin living the way I see myself authentically. And that has always been my excuse. Always seeking. Always waiting. Always believing it’s somewhere in the future, beyond my grasp.
So, today I begin living as though I’m already there. Living my life as I want to, as the person I want to be. Because “if not now, when?”
