Some of us were raised — directly or indirectly — to believe that if something is beautiful, meaningful, or just for us… we have to justify it.
That it has to be practical.
Productive.
Earned ten times over.
But growth changes how you see yourself.
And eventually, it changes what you allow yourself to receive.
This story is not really about a journal.
It’s about the moment you realize:
You are no longer the version of you who had to walk away.
Some things don’t leave when we say “not yet.”
Some things simply wait for us to become someone who can hold them without guilt.
If you’re in a season of becoming —
move gently.
move intentionally.
move like someone who trusts her timing.
