What Feels Right

Life has a way of unfolding in ways we never expect. If you had told me years ago that I’d be living in Los Angeles, shaping a new chapter entirely on my own terms, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here I am. Not because I followed someone else’s plan, not because of a random impulse, but because something deep within me knew this was where I needed to be. Even when I didn’t fully understand it, my subconscious was guiding me forward, even through the tough moments.

That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned: life flows best when I stop resisting and start listening—to my instincts, my desires, and the quiet nudges that push me toward growth. And through this, a few truths have become clear:

The best decisions come from what feels right, not what’s expected
There’s so much pressure to follow a timeline, whether it’s career, relationships, or life milestones. But I’ve realized that the most fulfilling choices are the ones that come from within – not from societal expectations, not from fear, but from a place of genuine alignment. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. And if it does? That’s reason enough to trust it.

Joy comes from presence, not just outcomes
It’s easy to get caught up in chasing the next thing – a goal, a person, a milestone. But I’ve found that real joy isn’t just in achieving something; it’s in experiencing life fully, as it happens. Whether that’s deep conversations, creative bursts of inspiration, or moments of pure excitement, I want to savor it all without needing it to “mean” something bigger.

You can’t rush clarity, but it comes when you’re ready
Some answers only reveal themselves over time. Some paths don’t make sense until you’ve walked them. Looking back, I see how every decision, even the difficult ones, led me to where I am now. And while I don’t have everything figured out, I trust that as long as I keep choosing what feels right, I’ll end up exactly where I’m meant to be.

Loving life starts with loving yourself first
The most important relationship we’ll ever have is the one with ourselves. Everything else – connections, opportunities, and experiences, flows better when we treat ourselves with the love, patience, and trust we often give so freely to others. The more I embrace who I am, the more life meets me with the same energy in return.

So here’s to living life by what feels right. To trusting the process, embracing uncertainty, and knowing that even the detours are part of the path. Because looking back, I see now, every twist, every challenge, every unexpected shift was always leading me home to myself. ?
