I feel like I’m at a similar point in my life and also seeing collectively how many people are having this shared experience. I’ve spent so much of my life trying to force things in the name of proving myself. I’m exhausted, I just can’t anymore. I need slow, I need quiet and I need to give myself permission to not “keep up” whatever that even means. Not like I’m falling behind anything, just another societal program. Beautiful peice, I really resonated
I lived a similar trajectory. Initially my goal was to become the directory of a marketing research agency, make tons of money, and have enough room for a family.
I got an MBA and about two years into my "Mistress of the Universe" path I realized it wasn't what I wanted at all. I didn't want to be in corporate and in service to shareholder wealth. I wanted my friends and family to come first.
There's no clear path forward when you decide you want to take the road less traveled. That's why fewer people take that road to begin with. It's not easier because there's no one blueprint. You have to figure out what your path is.
I wonder about this concept of "identity." I'm 65 and I have 20 good years left if I'm fortunate.
Something I keep thinking about is what kind of work do I want to do in these last years? Currently I own a small marketing consulting business and I like my work because I focus on helping people similar to me: doing work that makes a positive difference. But I'm also questioning how long I want to do this. If I close my business, where do I want my energy to go?
What kind of legacy do I want to leave? Maybe the best case scenario is to always be a work in process?
I absolutely love this new name ‘Being Nobody’ my name is Nada and I love that it means nothing in Spanish while in Arabic it means water dew I totally love Nothingnessss for all comes from nothing 🤣resonate with ur words 🙏🏽
Climbing a ladder to a place we don’t want to be, deciding to stop, take one foot and then our grip off only to realise we can float, to me that is ambition! Pursuing alignment, the unbecoming is a beautiful mess.
Love this! Yes very much at a threshold as I exit the matrix also. I grew up with complex childhood trauma as the eldest daughter of Chinese immigrants. Which means I also was an overworker, high achiever, and perfectionist for many years which burned me out. What you shared resonates. Healing def made me less ambitious as I'm trying to resolve the tension between the following: How do I give less fucks/be more present/embody my inherent self-worth, while also find a way to serve humanity from a healthy place of deep love? For me, as a triple Aquarius, serving the collective is very much in my destiny
I completely understand where you are coming from, and I have been there too, and going trough the same right now. And is definitely something collective too.
A few months ago I completely changed my life, but right now I am betting 100% on writing on Substack, focusing on guiding others through my channelings and my own life experience—which, honestly, was a bit traumatic. I'm also bringing in all the knowledge that might not come with a university degree, but I believe we need that kind of 'proof' less and less every day to create something entirely new.
Living in a ranch with animals sounds dreamy to me :)
The blank canvas of change used to be feared, now it is embraced. Water always flows so keep I flowing with it and it has brought an unbelievable amount of new experiences which I wouldn’t change for the world
I can so relate in many ways. I called myself a "nobody " in high school. I wasn't a jock, a burnout, a brainiac, nor did I come from money. I was a nobody. I really disliked high school but with a few good friends and a teacher who saw my potential, I became a first generation in my family to attend college in the 1970's. This led me to a 42 year career working as a registered nurse with critically ill children. It was my life's calling. Fast forward, Covid 2021 and I was so adrift and burnt out and broken hearted. I retired early and felt lost.
What brought me back to my authentic self was reiki and energy healing and the audacity to become nothing again, except for that God spark and deep love that is ours to claim. Just as you have discovered, mother nature, her trees, plants, animals and a deep reverence for all that is, has brought me home to myself.
I wish you well on your beloved journey to your true self
I’d like to add a perspective. I feel like I’m becoming more invisible with age. At first, I didn’t like it. But this nothingness, not feeling noticed, has become a super power. Both as a spy (😜) and for the evolution of my soul. As an invisible middle aged woman, walking her dog everywhere everyday, feeling like part of the scenery, I am suddenly nothing. And there is no pressure in this nothing. No stress. I can just focus on observing the world, nature, the seasons, philosophizing, or simply being. I’ve never been happier. I feel like the happiness is really coming from within this time. No external validation of any kind. Just me being me, walking where I want to walk, feeling like I’m part of nature. Being nothing, and being sort of invisible, is liberating. And this is unexpected. But I love it. 🥰

Don't know. Maybe I never will and that's OK.
I deeply relate. Thanks for sharing!
I like the advice “don’t try”
There is only do or no do. :-)
I absolutely love this new name ‘Being Nobody’ my name is Nada and I love that it means nothing in Spanish while in Arabic it means water dew I totally love Nothingnessss for all comes from nothing 🤣resonate with ur words 🙏🏽
Love that. Thank you! 🤍
Both ”nothing” and ”water dew” are beautiful. The combination is even more beautiful. A perfect meditation 😉🥰
Thank you beauty 🤍🙏🏽🥹

Don’t know you but know you and with you.

“Healing made me less ambitious.” YES. Oh my god, this. x

Incredible.
I can relate hard to this! I feel it’s a collective shift
Yeap, it’s been a painful few years.
Love this and it resonated so much. So right there with you! 💚
