Yes to all this. I am 52 / but love your work as I look to new dreams and a new me and in moments of hardship - what are the possibilities to reshape and create a different path . I reach to the wisdom you are giving ♥️
Yes! This is what I love about Substack, discovering people who are on the same journey I am.
I am not changing my past. I am changing myself - and I change how I look at the same past. By changing the way I look at the past, I change the way I look at the present - rinse and repeat.
I thought it was interesting that I saw the image differently from yours. I come from the perspective of an alcoholic - and I see the blue as a glass. The yes (3) is yes to the joy of alcohol, the fun, but also the pain - (2) upside down - that's "no" to the alcohol, but it's also a trap of sorts. See how enclosed that space is. (1) looks OK to me. It looks like freedom, the ability to make choices and run away, if necessary.
You're not erasing the past, you're reclaiming it. You're not rewriting the story, you're re-seeing it through eyes that are wiser, freer, more whole.
That rinse and repeat cycle? That’s the rhythm of healing, of reinvention, of becoming. And it’s exactly what makes this space on Substack feel like home for so many of us—we're not just telling stories, we're transforming through them.
So glad our paths crossed here. Let’s keep evolving together.

Yes, yes, yes—this is the magic.
