I love this video by . It’s like a love letter to yourself and it reminds me that life is long and we get to have iterations of ourselves, shed skins, take new plot twists.
It’s something I didn’t fully understand until I had my own identify grief. Ever had that?
And it makes sense to me because the way I understand it is we convince ourselves (maybe subconsciously) of certain realities and attach ourselves to certain ideas as a way to make it happen, cope, understand our place in the world, etc.
So shedding at that level is really uncomfortable. Especially the first time. At least for me.
Maybe that’s not exactly what Heidi was saying but that’s what it brought up for me.
Either way, thanks Heidi for the reminder, for being an example to others, for the beautiful words.
