Who Was I Before I Was Everything to Everyone Else? A Journey Back to Self

In the quiet moments when the world pauses, I often find myself reflecting on who I was before I became everything to everyone else. Before the roles and responsibilities piled up, there was a version of me that dreamed freely and wandered without the weight of expectations. 


I remember a time when I would lose myself in a good book, spend hours daydreaming, and be creative. I was vibrant, curious, and unapologetically me. But as the years went by, life’s demands took over. I became a mother, a social worker, a friend, and a caretaker. I wore these hats with pride, but somewhere along the way, I lost sight of that girl who danced through life with unbridled joy—literally danced.  


It doesn’t matter who you were back then; what truly matters is who you are becoming. The journey back to myself has been a path of rediscovery and self-love. I’ve learned that being everything to everyone doesn’t mean I have to lose myself. Instead, it means finding a balance where I can nurture others while also nurturing my own spirit.


How do we return to being everything for ourselves? It starts with small steps. Reclaiming a few moments each day for the things that light us up. Setting boundaries and saying no without guilt. Embracing our passions and allowing ourselves to dream again. 


I am still becoming, still evolving. I am learning to be kind to myself, to prioritize my well-being, and to celebrate the person I am today. This journey is about honoring who I was while embracing who I am meant to be. It’s about returning to the essence of me and finding joy in the process of becoming.


So, here’s to the journey back to ourselves. To being everything we need and more. Let’s embrace the becoming, with all its messiness and magic, and remember that we are worthy of being everything for ourselves.


Love,


Viv
