The journey to self-understanding is often nonlinear, filled with twists and turns. Moments of confusion or challenge are not roadblocks, they are opportunities to grow and redefine ourselves. Losing touch with old identities can feel disorienting, however it clears space to discover who we are beyond the labels and roles we've been given. It's in these moments of vulnerability and openness that we can connect with our most authentic selves, guided not by external expectations instead by our own inner truth.
