My Inner Musings is a space for the thoughts we often keep to ourselves.
I talk out loud about life, relationships, change, and the patterns we notice as we grow.
These are real reflections from a lived life, shared with honesty, humour, and curiosity.
Nothing is polished. Nothing is solved.
Just honest musings, spoken in real time.
The wrong people in your life won't just waste your time. They'll delay your purpose. That line stopped me when I heard it in a video last night. So I grabbed my notebook, started writing, thinking, feeling, because damn, it's so true. The people we love the most can be the same ones who keep us small. Growth isn't about changing. It's about becoming. And when you start becoming, some people stop fitting. It's like your favorite pair of jeans. They used to fit.
Host:You felt good in them. But now they're too loose, too worn, too just not you. And you keep them anyway because they're comfortable. But you're not supposed to live your whole life in comfort. You don't have to cut people off.
Host:You just have to stop shrinking to fit in. That's the hard part. They liked the you that was predictable, safe, familiar, But you've outgrown that version of yourself. Even if you don't know who the new one is yet, you want more, new experiences, new peace, joy. Like, what even is that? That doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It just means you're awakening. Every relationship, friends, family, partners, they all have a reason, a season, and a song. If you stay too long in one that's expired, it starts to rot. You can love people from a distance and still grow without them.
Host:They say you're as good as the five people you spend the most time with. Some lift you. Some hold you. Some hold you back. So be honest about which one is which. And yeah, it's awkward as hell to admit that you've outgrown people. You'll feel guilty, selfish. You'll even question if you have a problem. But the truth is, staying small to keep others comfortable IS the problem. You're not ungrateful. You're a visionary. You see beyond what is. You know that there's more out there. And we all hit that point. Where what used to fit doesn't, and what's next just hasn't shown up yet. That space in between, That's purpose warming up. Letting go doesn't mean you stop caring. It means you stop caring what's not yours anymore. You've changed. Your mission is changed. Change hurts. It's messy. It's confusing.
Host:It's never on schedule, like when you're driving home from Costco crying. But staying the same? That's a slow death. Some days you wake up and feel stuck. Other days you feel like you're on fire again. That's the process. Growth and regression, purpose, procrastination, all tangled up in this giant mess that is you. I'm still figuring it out. I'm still outgrowing my habits, people, roles I used to need. But this time,
Host:I'm not rushing to have it all figured out. I'm learning that growth isn't measured in milestones. It's measured in courage, forgiveness, and in those tiny moments that you stop betraying yourself. So if you're ready, hop in, buckle up, buttercup, and come grow the fuck up with me.
