What If You’re Not Lost—Just Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be?

Feeling stuck isn’t the end—it might be the beginning

By LucianPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Have you ever felt like you’re floating through life without a map? Like everyone else is moving forward while you’re just... standing still?

Maybe you’ve changed jobs, relationships, even cities—but the emptiness still lingers. It’s terrifying to admit: “I don’t know who I am anymore.”

But what if being “lost” isn’t a sign of failure? What if it’s a sign you’ve outgrown who you used to be?

When we’re in the middle of change, it never feels beautiful. It feels like chaos. But most transformations do. Think about caterpillars. They turn into mush before becoming butterflies. There’s nothing elegant about it—until it’s done.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

So, if you’re standing in the middle of nowhere, confused and afraid, remember: this might not be the end of your story. It might be the exact page where everything starts to change.

Thank you for reading.

Wherever you are right now, keep going. You’re closer than you think.
