There’s a pea somewhere in my bed. I feel it every moment of every day. I tried to ignore it, blamed myself for being too sensitive, added more mattresses, compared myself to others. But the discomfort only grew louder. When I finally stopped running, sat with myself in silence, and asked, the truth emerged: my sensitivity wasn’t my flaw. It was my gift. The very thing I feared made me unfit for this life, turned out to be the reason I was made for it.

There is a life before awakening, and a life after the light. I used to move through the world half-asleep, unaware I was barely alive. But now, carried by the divine current, I am fully here — alive, aligned, and guided by the compass within my heart. Everything has changed, and yet, I’ve simply returned to who I’ve always been.

There is nothing to be impatient for. We don’t need to fast-forward to the end of the movie just to know that it all works out. We will see a happy ending—not necessarily the one we planned, but a meaningful ending nonetheless. And it’s already been written, already filmed. All that’s left is for us to live it, scene by scene, one moment at a time.

Living in alignment isn’t about being perfect. It’s about staying on the path, even when it’s messy, and still showing up for my truth. I’m not meant to have it all figured out. It isn’t about controlling everything or making life fit into a perfect mold. It’s about being in harmony with my true self, even as life unfolds unpredictably.

I can’t imagine anything more terrifying than opening up my heart to the world. And yet, I can’t imagine anything more freeing than doing just that. If you’re reading this right now, it means I’ve faced my fears and taken the long-overdue, yet deeply awaited step of sharing what’s closest to my heart: the transformative journey of my soul.
