Aye... I am also in the phase of composting and identity and the work I offer... next year be time to morphe again. The skin is shed. I enter the cocoon.

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the real and vulnerable aspects of growth. I'm right there with you.... Great read! I needed this today. Glad I found it :)

Thanks Emily! Your welcome - and I'm glad to be further confirmation for you that you are on the path of self revelation.

I’m following you for you, regardless of where the journey goes. Some of us aren’t meant to niche down, and that gets boring anyway. Thanks for sharing your genuine raw self with us.

Thank you and your welcome! As a fellow creator, I hope you know just how generous a "I'm following you for you" compliment is.

Takes a lot of courage to be open about this deeply unsettling process of radical metamorphosis.

Respect you speaking from the rawness of the real! Reinvention is inevitable even if the world might not be ready for it, but that is not yours to manage. If you reassemble your center, you'll open up a new world and once its coherence holds, you'll inhabit it as someone who overcame the fear of radically being himself. What a gift!

Woof I needed to see this reflected in my external reality. I’ve never been able to put my finger on this topic and I can already tell how helpful this is gonna be

There will be lots more reflections like this - not just from me I think. I’m glad it’s helpful!

This was a heart smile the whole way through!

I loved how you framed this. Eventually….hopefully…we all reach this point. To me, this is embodied self love. To finally love yourself at a level where you’re willing to live messy, free, and boldly.

Oh thank you! I believe that anyone who chooses it will reach this point. Not going to say it’s easy. But it’s accessible to all.

Oh thank you! Yes the world of illusion really gets to me sometimes too.

Thank you and I see that you are seeing into the greater thread being pulled. I’m totally with you about identity being a dynamic system that follows rules of coherence like biological systems. And that you say this genuinely useful - deeply heartening to hear.
