Happy I stumbled across this! This reminds me of a quote I love that says, "If I had it all figured out today there would be nothing to learn tomorrow" or something along those lines ... I often wonder when I'm going to arrive at the figured-it-out place. LOL. I won't. t's a hamster wheel.

I wrote about this too. It’s an unsettling thing to go through when people around you seem to be confidently going towards their goals.

I love knowing that I’m not the only one trying to figure it out.

Also, we do have a knowing, it just get’s diluted and we get distracted. The work is in making space for the knowing.

Hi Mika, so true! I just read your post, "Are you still asking "what do I want to do when I grow up?" and I can relate to it so much. ❤️ It sure is comforting to know we're not the only ones trying to figure things out.

I’m glad it resonated. We often doing our ourselves in positions where we are beginners again, so starting Substack is so so exciting, but it can quickly lead to overwhelm if you’re not careful.

I felt this way, Prachi, for the last 2 years or so. Just felt like I was treading water trying to survive, watching my savings dwindle away little by little. I'm starting to come out of it now, but it was difficult.
