Wow, this piece could not have come at a better time. I felt like you were reading my mind the entire time 😂 I literally laughed out loud when you said "When the world picks up (as it often does around this time of year..." It's so true, summer can be a hectic time with so many invitations and options of things to do. I'll definitely be nudging myself towards what feels aligned internally and spending more time in solitude. Thanks again Isabel!

Hi, new reader here! Just transitioning from high school to college here and I know that the same thing you described is slowly going to happen to me: as I solidify what I value and who I am, all the opportunities around me will be more curated to my interests. I can’t wait to dive in to all those opportunities but never really considered what you mentioned here, especially this quote, which was pure gold: “Your external world is a lagging mirror of your internal world.”

Will definitely keep that in mind! Thank you for your reflections. I just subscribed and am looking forward to more!
