I’ve been learning new things about myself—
Apparently, I’ve been understudying a role
I was never cast in.
Who knew?
There’s a version of me I never met before—
confident without rehearsal,
joyful without permission,
laughing like she just read the fine print
and realized she’d been underestimating the benefits.
This is the season of epiphanies—
the kind that arrive mid-step,
mid-song,
mid–“wait a minute… is this me?”
Yes.
Yes, it is.
I’m discovering talents that were apparently
waiting politely while I was being responsible.
Desires that had the decency to whisper
until I was finally quiet enough to hear them.
Strengths that were never absent—
just bored.
And oh, the pleasure of it all—
this unfolding,
this “well damn” moment
when you realize you were never lost,
just unintroduced.
I’m flourishing in the unfamiliar.
Thriving in the unplanned.
Wearing curiosity like couture.
Let’s dance, shall we?
Not the tentative shuffle of self-doubt,
but the full-bodied, unapologetic kind—
the kind that says,
“I trust my rhythm now.”
I project.
I expand.
I roar—but tastefully.
There’s sass in my stride,
with in my pause,
confidence that doesn’t ask for witnesses
but enjoys them when they show up.
I laugh at my former limits—
not cruelly,
just knowingly.
We did the best we could with the information we had.
Now?
I have better information.
I am becoming someone I didn’t know existed,
And she is delightful.
Magnetic.
Unbothered by expectations
and fluent in joy.
So yes—
Applause is welcome.
Curiosity encouraged.
But make no mistake:
This isn’t a performance.
This is discovery—
and I am thoroughly enjoying
the reveal–
