"Becoming yourself is soulwork. It is reaching into the deepest parts of yourself and bringing them into the light. It is asking yourself the hardest questions until you arrive at the truest answers. It is discarding some of the coping mechanisms that you no longer want to be part of you, and being consistent with the ones you do. It is keeping your word, firstly to your self. It is learning to lean into your kindest, most beautiful parts. It is finding yourself, and building that self outward. It is taking your spirit and bringing it into form."
