Today is my birthday, and I feel I’ve stepped into a completely new cycle of my life.
For years after giving birth, I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. I fought for my health, started over more times than I can count, and said many goodbyes, sometimes to the same people more than once. All I longed for was to feel at home, to be accepted, to be seen.
Through grief, anger, endings, and beginnings, I kept going. I studied, worked hard, fell, got back up, and met incredible souls who became part of my journey. I often felt I gave everything with very little return… but slowly, with determination and trust, I rebuilt myself.
This year I moved out of Brighton and found a place I can finally call home. My family is well, Eden is my sunshine, and Marcus and I are choosing each other with honesty, after many storms. I became a dance instructor, turning movement into healing, joy, and expression.
I’ve said goodbye to beloved souls, my nana, my uncles, dear friends and to versions of myself I thought I’d lost forever.
These recent months reminded me that life is not guaranteed, and so I choose to go as deep as I can, to live fully, and to honour every breath.
What have I learned?
That I never give up on myself.
That life is a rhythm of losing and finding ourselves.
That grief, love, anger and growth are not separate, they dance together.
After 7 years since Eden’s arrival, I feel grounded, aligned, and ready for this next chapter. I know who I truly am, and I am not afraid to live it.
