Lately, I've been curious about destiny and roles. Specifically, I've been poking at the external messaging I've received that emphasizes the importance of knowing your role to fulfill your destiny.

Spoiler-alert, that math isn't mathing because much of my lived experience isn't reflected in that messaging.

Wrapping story and language around my role(s) has never made me feel closer to actualizing my destiny; it has often left me more confused and depleted. If anything, my stories about the role(s) I have accepted and assigned to myself have felt like distractions. And I've often felt a collapse of possibilities as I've struggled to perform/uphold those role(s).

As I keep poking, it feels almost impossible to entertain that any aspect of my destiny is tethered to me or anyone else understanding my role(s).

In this phase of my life, I aim to live, breathe, move, and exist in the sweet spot of trust. I am learning to trust my destiny's emergence. I am offering up all accepted and assigned roles as compost for the ecosystems that resource my life and destiny. The mysteries of life and the ecosystems of creation will be my primary pathways for relating to my destiny.
