I used to think I’d have everything figured out by now.
The career.
The money.
The identity.
The confidence.
The direction.
Instead, I’m learning that life doesn’t really work that way.
Sometimes you become a mom and realize the version of success you were chasing no longer fits.
Sometimes you outgrow a life you once prayed for.
Sometimes you realize you want more and immediately feel guilty for wanting it.
And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit:
“This isn’t quite enough for me anymore.”
Not because you’re ungrateful.
Because you’re growing.
You don’t have to have the whole next chapter figured out before you turn the page.
You just have to be willing to believe that there’s still something ahead of you.
There is.
And you’re allowed to want it.
