Metamorphosis.

A pending butterfly?

From the cocoon,

I think I’m changing.

---

Sometimes you don’t really like the concept of change… until you find yourself living inside it.

Lately, I’ve been noticing that so many things are changing around me and within me. I’m still trying to sort through what I consider “good” change and “bad” change, but one thing I do know is this:

I think I’m in my metamorphosis era.

Originally, Metamorphosis means a transformation or a complete change in form, nature, or character. People often use it to describe growth, for example, the way someone changes emotionally, spiritually, mentally, or even creatively over time.

And maybe that’s exactly where I am.

This season has been teaching me what I truly like and why I like it. Sometimes I realized I only liked certain things because they felt “likable,” because other people approved of them, because they looked good from the outside. But now, I’m slowly learning to sit with myself long enough to discover what Bisayo actually likes, deeply and honestly.

I’m setting boundaries too.

I never knew how important boundaries were until this season of my life. And I can’t overemphasize how grateful I am to God for opening my eyes to certain things. I’m beginning to understand my negotiables and non-negotiables, and somehow my heart feels safer knowing I’m finally being kind to it.

One of my friends told me recently, “Stop letting things hold you.”

And I have never felt more seen.

Because the truth is, I do let things affect me more than they seem to. I hold onto words, moments, disappointments, emotions. But I’m learning that although we love to say “it’s that deep,” not everything actually is, at least not enough to steal your peace, your sanity, or your joy.

I’m also finally admitting what I want to do and what I do not want to do. I still question many things, but honestly, it feels better than questioning everything all the time.

I think change truly starts from within and honestly only you can actually see yourself.

And I want to see myself through God’s lens. I want to finally believe what He says about me instead of letting comparison, overthinking, doubt, and overanalyzing speak louder.

Because those things only shift my focus away from what truly matters.

So maybe I really am in my metamorphosis season.

Tender. Confusing. Soft in some places. Beautiful in diverse ways.

Like a butterfly before it realizes it has wings.

“Sweet home”— Anendlessocean.
