Both Can Be True
Your life can look nothing like the plan and still be exactly where it needs to be. A reflection on inherited timelines, unexpected turns, and seeing every version of yourself as part of the story.
Both can be true.
Your life can look nothing like the plan and still be exactly where it needs to be.
So many of us carry a version of who we were "supposed" to become. A timeline. A set of milestones someone else drew up.
When life veers off it, the first instinct is to call it a detour, something to fix or apologize for. But some of the most important things I've learned came from the turns I never would have chosen.
Maybe the plan wasn't the point. Maybe the becoming is.
Why this book is for you:
If your life hasn't followed the timeline you or anyone else drew up, this book is for you. It's for anyone carrying an inherited idea of who they should become, and who is ready to see every version of themselves as part of the story.
What "detour" in your life turned out to matter more than you expected?
