Still becoming.
I don't know if there is a final version of me waiting somewhere. Following the person I want to be already gives the journey meaning. There is always something to learn, reconsider, or try.
What makes a life feel meaningful?
What is worth giving our time to?
Who do I want to become?
Values I'm trying to practise.
Stoicism reminds me to put energy into my thoughts, actions, and responses, and practise accepting what I cannot change.
