What did that actually mean though? What does it mean to feel fulfilled within and out of myself?

I doubt that any question is misplaced but this right here was one that I might have yet been able to fully process the answers to; or that I was prepared really for what ended up as the journey towards identifying that which was not in alignment with ideals and values that I espoused for my own life to unlearning methods of coping and behaviors that had ceased to serve me; to opening up myself to relearning and opening up myself again to the possibilities of new beginnings.
Arguably, these aren’t blank slates but rather starts that are a culmination of lessons from the past and hopes of the future, only that there’s a firmer belief in my own creative ability and power to be present and live authentically in a way that honors who I am in that moment and creates room for my own continuous evolution.
