Every step I've taken was necessary,
When I question why I made certain choices,
I remind myself that I was not aware then
Of the truths I understand now.
Each moment, whether joyful or painful,
Has been a teacher,
Leading me gently toward a deeper knowledge of myself.

The missteps and the triumphs,
The love and the loss,
All have played their part in shaping who I am.
I realize now that nothing was wasted,
Every experience, like a stone in a river,
Has smoothed my rough edges,
Carving out the person I am today.

I look back not with regret,
But with gratitude,
For every struggle has been a lesson,
Every joy, a reminder,
That I am constantly evolving,
Becoming more aligned with the person I am meant to be.
