The scariest things about growing up is everything changes… the most exciting, freeing, and loving experience about growing up is everything changes…

Ouuu I love the idea of putting a thought out into the world and it will shatter, or someone will catch it, but I’ll be better for it. That is so well articulated!! Thank you Toni 🤎

love this so much.

...so much clutter, i'm always looking for empty spaces to shove it all into; the good and the bad. and now... I think it's okay to allow unlimited storage space for my growth, my feelings, my ideas, my mess. thank you, toni! 🤎

ohhhh this was meant for me! This is exactly what being 24 has felt like- before I have the means or time or energy to integrate a new idea, it has been replaced with another one... but that's beautiful (hopefully)

I love this so much. So beautiful and I relate, even at age 32. The growth and changing never ends.

New subscriber over here! There have been so many times I have been afraid to use my voice because I am used to it shattering the veil. But yet, every time mess is made, I am left a better person. This was such a lovely read! Thank you for sharing.

I’m at the end of my twenties and really loved how you perfectly described the transitions we go through as we grow. 🩷
