Notes to Grow
Welcome to Notes to Grow – a personal growth blog where I share raw, authentic reflections on mental health, emotional healing, and the journey to living authentically.
These entries capture my current state of consciousness as I make sense of my feelings and perceptions, continuing to grow with each reflection.
Each post is personal and raw—some may resonate, while others may challenge. Use what inspires you and let go of the rest.
At its heart, this blog is my space to explore, feel, and connect with my true self. You're in the right place if you're seeking insights into personal development and self-reflection. This is the purpose of this blog.
You’re Not Here to Decide Who You Are— You’re Here to Remember
A quote from The Matrix invites a radical shift in perspective: What if your path wasn’t meant to be decided—but remembered? This post explores the illusion of control, the role of pain, and the truth that arises when you stop trying to force it.
The Mountains We All Climb
On a flight from Mexico City to Los Cabos, I met Kristin Harlia, a renowned mountaineer. Though our lives seem worlds apart—hers defined by summits, mine by physical limitation—we find common ground in our shared longing for peace.
Through stories of loss, stillness, and surrender, we explore why so many of us climb our own metaphorical mountains in search of something we may already hold within.
This post reflects on the pain of letting go, the illusion of becoming, and the quiet arrival in what already is.
