This is such a wonderful read, Noemie! One of my favorite perspectives comes from Michelangelo. When asked how he sculpted the statue of David, he replied, “It’s simple. I just removed everything that wasn’t David.”

We already possess everything we need to be happy, thriving individuals.

It’s just that we’re often buried beneath layers of self-doubt, noise, and things that make us feel like shit.

The work isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who we’ve always been.

It is! There is profound wisdom found in slowing down rather than adding more boxes to check in the name of personal growth. Thanks for shining a light on this. ❤️
