Let me be honest for a moment. I spent 2025 intentionally working on myself. In the past, I was avoidant, afraid of confrontation, and when I was hurt or upset, I would often withdraw and create distance instead of speaking up.
Now, after doing the inner work, I’ve noticed a shift. I’ve become much more expressive, and sometimes I find myself wrestling with my thoughts wondering if I’m expressing too much, or if this is simply what healing looks like.
I’m learning how to find balance: knowing when to speak up and when to pause. Some days I question whether I’m being overly expressive, or if it only feels that way because I’m not used to honoring my voice. Maybe it’s not overdoing it, maybe it’s just growth in unfamiliar territory.
