Day 229: Dear Me

Day 229: Dear Me

“Dear Me in three months, I’m going to make you very proud.” —Brock Pierson

I read that today, and it hit me in a way I wasn’t expecting.

I am incredibly hard on myself—on the progress I’ve made, the time it’s taken, the setbacks I’ve had. But I wake up every day and fight. I keep showing up for a version of me that still feels just out of reach.

I struggle, not with the idea of growing, but with the weight I place on how far I think I should’ve already come. I let the future overwhelm me, and that pressure pulls me under. But today, something shifted.

What if instead of trying to be perfect today, I just focused on the promise of who I’m becoming?

What if I trusted that in three months, the version of me I’m building right now will be something I can be proud of—not because I arrived, but because I never gave up?

So that’s what I’m choosing to believe.

Three months from now, I want to be proud of this moment. This exact one. The one where I didn’t quit.

One Step. One Punch. One Round. 🌹
