What is one thing you would change about yourself?

If I could change one thing about myself?

Just one?

Alright. I’d pick the part of me that believes I have to earn rest.

I don’t know when it started, but somewhere along the way, I began to treat rest like a prize. Something I only get if I’ve ticked every box, been good enough, pushed hard enough, deserved it.
Even then, I sometimes sit down and feel twitchy — like I should be doing something “useful.”

It’s nonsense. I know it’s nonsense.
Rest isn’t indulgent. It’s necessary. Like breathing.

But still — somewhere inside, there’s a little voice whispering,
”Shouldn’t you be doing something right now?”

I’d like to hush that voice. Wrap it in a soft blanket and tell it,
“No, darling. You’ve done enough. You are enough. Even if the laundry isn’t folded.”

I watch people who can nap without guilt. Who take a day off just because it’s Tuesday. Who say no, and don’t explain.
They’re magic.
And I’m trying to learn.

Because I want to live a life where joy and ease aren’t things I squeeze into the margins — but things I center.

So yes.
If I could change one thing, I’d unlearn the grind.
And relearn the art of being soft with myself.

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
