Inspiration

I used to be a social butterfly. Always out every week, spending all my spare time frequenting parties, festivals, nightclubs, and gigs. But over the past 5 years, I have spent a huge amount of time alone. I never really quite came out of lockdown, to be honest. I do still go out occasionally or have visitors, but given the choice between spending time alone or socializing with friends, I’ll choose alone time most of the time. I just prefer being by myself. I am aware that solitude isn’t for everyone, but it is very much for me. I have a huge amount of things I would like to create, and not enough time to get them done!

Important lessons I have learnt from my time of flying solo

I am perfectly content without the company of others. Being alone doesn’t have to mean you are lonely.

To satisfy the potential that was burning inside of me, I had to break free from the familiar.

Knowing when to leave situations that no longer felt nurturing

No longer willing to live beneath the level of my calling.

Stepping away from certain people was a conscious decision to prioritise my own growth, healing, and future.

Gone are the days that I will play small to make others comfortable

I am not limited by where I’ve been, but by what I know is possible for my life.

I believe in my future more than my past.

Choosing peace came with a fair few of goodbyes

I stepped out of the shadow of uncertainty and into the light of my purpose

I marched into a new version of myself, one that no longer needs validation or approval from anyone

I will no longer wait for others to value me, to appreciate me, or to understand my worth.

I am deserving of true friendship, love, peace, and success.

I am no longer playing a supporting role, but the leading role of my own story

I am becoming the architect of my own future

Recognising my wellbeing is not selfish but sacred.

Giving myself permission to evolve beyond the limit’s others have put on me, and I am becoming the person I was meant to be.

Too often, we cling to what feels safer instead of stepping into the unknown. But walking away from the realm of comfort, you walk into the realm of unlimited possibility

When you are alone, no one else’s energy can interrupt your creative flow, allowing more energetic space for creativity to emerge

Prioritising my mental, emotional and spiritual health isn’t an indulgence but a necessity

I am learning to actively creating my own reality with focused intention

My creative energy is completely aligned, focused and authentic

Walking alone into the unknown is when God does his greatest work in our lives; it’s where he shapes us, moulds us, and prepares us for what he has planned for us.

It is a powerful act of trusting God’s plan for my life.
