Hey Sis,

​

The past few weeks have been rough. Between adulting and doctoring, I kept trying to overthink my way into making everything go “just right.”
​

Spoiler alert: it didn’t.

​
​

And you know what? That’s okay.

​
​

Sometimes no matter how much we plan, analyze, or try to control the outcome, life still has its own ideas. It’s messy. It’s unpredictable. It’s human.

​
​

What I’ve been reminding myself (and now you): life is meant to be lived, not controlled. Every twist and turn, every detour and delay, is part of the journey.

​
​

So if you’ve been holding your breath, waiting for things to line up perfectly—exhale. Perfection was never the assignment. Living fully, even in the unplanned, is.

​
​

With you,

Nikia

P.S. If this landed for you, hit reply and tell me what curveball life has thrown your way lately. I’d love to hear.
