Sometimes I look at myself and think…
I’m not there yet.
Not the lawyer. Not the woman I imagine when I close my eyes and dream about my future. I don’t have the degree, the title, or the life I want… at least not yet.
But I’m closer than I was yesterday.
Every day I’m learning something — about myself, about life, about how to keep going even when things don’t go as planned. I may not be in a university classroom right now, but I’m still growing in my own way.
I’ve started to understand that success doesn’t always look like a straight line. Sometimes it looks like trying, failing, learning… and trying again.
And maybe this version of me, standing here with nothing but determination and hope, is already something to be proud of.
One day I’ll wear that confidence like a suit in court.
For now… I’m just building her.
