Unbecoming to Become: A Journey to Authentic Self

Unbecoming to Become:

A Journey to Authentic Self

In a world that constantly tells us who we should be and how we should act, the journey to our true selves often feels more like an unending quest to add layers, accomplishments, and labels to our identity. We are encouraged to become something—someone who fits the mold, meets expectations, and aligns with societal standards. But what if the journey isn't about becoming anything at all? What if it's about unbecoming everything that isn't truly us, so we can finally embrace who we were meant to be in the first place?

The Illusion of Becoming

From a young age, we are taught to strive for something greater, to climb the ladder of success, and to become someone of worth. This pursuit is often driven by external influences—family expectations, cultural norms, societal pressures. We start to layer these influences onto our core selves, creating an identity that aligns more with what others want from us rather than what we truly desire.

But these layers, while they may protect us or help us fit in, also obscure our authentic selves. They become masks we wear to navigate the world, but over time, we may find that these masks no longer fit. They may even suffocate our true essence, leaving us feeling lost, unfulfilled, and disconnected from who we are at our core.

The Process of Unbecoming

The process of "unbecoming" involves three main steps:

1. Self-Reflection and Awareness:

Begin by deeply reflecting on your life, questioning your identity beyond roles and achievements, and recognizing beliefs that might not truly be yours.

2. Identifying Inauthentic Layers.

Identify habits, thought patterns, and behaviors that don’t align with your true self. This step requires honesty to see which aspects of your life are not genuinely you.

3. Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You:

Release the beliefs, relationships, and roles that don’t align with your authentic self, allowing you to embrace who you were meant to be.

Breaking Free from Division: A Call to Unite in Love

Breaking Free from Division: A Call to Unite in Love Everywhere we turn, the world feels like it’s unraveling. War, political upheaval, and social unrest dominate the headlines. Countries clash over resources and power, governments crumble under corruption, and society is increasingly divided into factions—left versus right, the elite versus the working class, one country against another. It’s a carefully orchestrated chaos, keeping humanity distracted and disconnected from what truly matters. We’re being fed a constant stream of fear, anger, and outrage, designed to keep us in a state of division. But what if we’re missing the bigger picture? What if, beneath all of this turmoil, the universe is orchestrating something far greater? It may not seem like it, but everything is unfolding exactly as it should. The universe doesn’t make mistakes. Humanity is being pushed—forced—to evolve. Every event, every leader, and every moment of tension is part of a much larger plan....

How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad

How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad It’s no secret—the world feels like it’s spinning out of control. Everywhere you look, there’s conflict, corruption, division, and a sense of unease hanging in the air. Social media amplifies every crisis, and the never-ending news cycle keeps feeding us chaos. For empaths, lightworkers, and those who simply feel deeply, it can feel like an unbearable weight. So how do you navigate this madness without letting it consume you? 1. Recognize What You Can and Cannot Control You can’t single-handedly fix the world, but you can control how you respond to it. Focus your energy on what is within your reach—your thoughts, actions, and the energy you bring into the world. When you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and ask yourself: Is this something I can change? If not, allow yourself to release it. 2. Limit Exposure to Negativity Doomscrolling through social media or watching hours of news won’t make the world better—it will only drain you. Be ...

I Took the Road Less Traveled—Now I Don’t Know Where the F*ck I Am (Spiritually Speaking)

I Took the Road Less Traveled—Now I Don’t Know Where the F*ck I Am (Spiritually Speaking) At some point in my spiritual journey probably during a full moon, while clutching a chunk of amethyst and sobbing into a cup of herbal tea—I decided to take the road less traveled. You know the one. It’s not on Google Maps. There are no signs, no gas stations, and definitely no Starbucks. Just vibes. Cosmic ones. I thought it was going to be all love, light, and ascension codes. Instead, it’s been more like: “Where am I?” “What dimension is this?” “Why does my shadow keep yelling at me?” “Am I healing… or just hallucinating on cacao again?” The road less traveled is basically a spiritual back alley with detours through your childhood trauma, several ego deaths (RIP to the old me—again), and confusing downloads that come in at 3 a.m. when you're just trying to sleep but your guides are like, “Wake up, beloved, you must journal.” Don’t get me wrong. There’s beauty in this chaos. There are momen...
