The Next Version of You Is Already Whispering

“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” — Joseph Campbell

Becoming doesn’t always announce itself.

It doesn’t always come with big changes or grand decisions. Sometimes, it starts as a whisper, a quiet knowing in your chest, a restlessness you can’t explain, a growing discomfort with what once felt like home.

It’s easy to ignore at first.

You tell yourself you’re overthinking. You try to be grateful for what you have. You remind yourself that things are fine.

But fine doesn’t feel like freedom and something inside you knows.

Knows that your next chapter is approaching, not like a storm, but like a tide. Gentle. Persistent. Inevitable.

The next version of you is already whispering.

Not because the current version is broken or wrong. But because you’ve grown. Quietly. Slowly. In the in-between. And now, your life needs to catch up to your soul.

That voice you’re hearing? That feeling you keep pushing aside? It’s not impulsive. It’s not reckless. It’s the truth you’ve been too busy or too afraidto honour.

But you’re not behind. You’re just arriving.
