Sunday Thinking ― 12.22.24

In partnership with

The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.

I. Coming to Terms

There are 3 things that you need to come to terms with in life:

1. If they wanted to, they would.

2. No response is a response.

3. Not everybody has the same values, goals, or heart that you do.

Once you come to terms with those three things, life becomes a lot easier.

II. The Things Worth Living For

All I know is that time passes by so fast. And you might as well spend it doing what you love. Being brave. Risking your heart. Going all in on the things that make you feel alive.

• You might as well spend it falling in love with people and places and new experiences. With yourself. With this soft, strong, stubborn heart that beats inside your chest.

• And if there's an uncharted path that calls to you—take it. If there's a pull in your heart guiding you forward — follow it. If there's a vision that you see every time you close your eyes—honor it. Trust it. Believe in it.

Listen to the soft voice within that whispers: this is real and this is right and this is the way. Feel every ounce of fear and step forward anyway. Because some things―they're worth it. The really important things—the things that you can feel deep down in your bones—they're worth risking it all for. They're worth fighting for. They're worth living for.

III. Messy, Unfinished, and Enough

You are a human being, not a project.

• You were never meant to live in a constant state of self-improvement or self-repair. There's this pressure loud and unrelenting that tells you that every moment must be productive, every thought must lead to growth, and every day must bring you closer to becoming "better."

• But sometimes, what you need most isn't to heal, grow, or fix it's to simply be.

You don't have to chase healing every moment to be worthy. You don't have to fix every broken piece of your family's history to have purpose. You are allowed to pause. To breathe. To feel the sun on your face without questioning if it's helping you grow.

• You are allowed to take up space just as you are, messy and unfinished, in a moment that requires nothing from you but your presence.

• Let this be your reminder: you are not a project to be completed, nor are you a tool to fix every problem that has ever existed in your lineage.

You are a soul, a spirit, a human being. So be, sometimes beloved. Just be.
