My birthday is officially in ten days, and I have found myself challenging my own thought process in order to be (even more) intentional with my actions. The questions, 'How do I want to continue to show up in the world?' and 'How can I continue to learn more?' keep surfacing. When faced with these questions, instead of quick dismissals, I aim to delve deeper into introspection. By doing this, the following came to me:
“The more I grow, the more I want to be surrounded by raw truth. In this truth, I will learn to uncover hidden emotions, shed misleading information and people, and attract the energy that seeks the knowledge to cultivate a better future and lead with love. Truth that isn’t afraid to show up chin high because it will empower others to do the same; truth that is courageous enough to be vulnerable in the midst of anger, for vulnerability shows our humanity and heart; truth that is not forced, but taught with patience: raw truth, I seek.” —Dhayana Alejandrina

What do you seek? What is your "why" as the new year approaches?
Veronica, thank you for reading and sharing ! It would definitely be scary haha I think that as we get older, truth becomes clarity and can make a lot of things easier to understand and perhaps even let go.
Thank you for this reflection. I seek to shed the layers that are no longer mine. That maybe were never mine, but just hitching a ride on my back. The layers placed on me by others and myself, knowingly and unknowingly. I intent to show up more myself, ordaining myself with what I know reflects who I am today and who I’m becoming.
My why is because I am worthy, I will show up! I will LIVE!
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful words. 🙏🏼🫂

Love this. Each year on my birthday, I ask myself the same questions as a way to self reflect.
"Raw truth" sounds like right amount of scary
