Yesterday I hit a huge milestone.
Something that for years was just a dream for me.
And yesterday I quietly reached it almost without noticing.
The realisation that I had achieved what I set out to do was stunning. It as unbelievable. Yet it felt so right.
It made me realise three things:
I can finally trust myself.
I am enough, exactly as I am.
It’s ok to choose myself.
The thing that I achieved yesterday is nowhere near finished yet. But that’s ok, I truly have come so far.
You see, it’s not about perfection. I always thought that I had to be perfect to succeed. I’m slowly realising this isn’t true. Success can be measured in many different ways.
I have been showing up on here with too much pressure to have the perfect blog post, with perfect structure and perfect grammar.
That changes now.
From now on I am going to show up on here every day just as I am, with no editing and no perfectionism and no pressure. Just me writing whatever comes to the page as it leaves my mind, because that will be what I truly have to say in that moment, unfiltered and raw.
That will be the real me.
This is for me.
This is who I am.
The goal was to write a 60,000 word memoir. I promised myself for years that someday I would write it.
I kept the promise to myself… In July 2025 I started writing.
I kept going when I felt like it, as I couldn’t force this out, it had to come when I was ready.
And look how far I got. On 3rd March 2026 I finally reached my goal …
Yesterday I hit 60,146 words and I still have so much more to write. This is only the first raw draft where I get the story out of my head onto the page. I intend to edit at least twice. So I’m far from finished.
And my next goal is to finish what I started.
More tomorrow xxx
