Public Transformation

I’m fully committed, placing all bets on myself. It’s a self-call to action, a summon to embody the greatness within. It’s about accessing my wealth of gathered knowledge and evolving into the person I’m destined to be. I recognize my own courage in confronting challenges head-on. I’ve triumphed, learned what it takes; now what?

How do I honour my efforts, the battle for every breath when I was suffocating, the relentless march when my feet bled, the mornings I rose when vanishing felt right?

How do I honour my perseverance where others have succumbed to bitterness and grief?

How do I honour my relentless spirit, standing on the front lines, embracing baldness and intellect, claiming my worth, securing my place, advancing, standing tall, delivering, showing up and loving, time after time?

I honour myself by being my most authentic self, drawing on my experiences, those that fortified and those that shattered me, and stepping boldly into the world.

I embrace vulnerability, presenting myself to the world, inviting others to see and learn from me. I undergo transformation in the thick of battle, well-acquainted with the fight, with victory and defeat.

I step boldly into uncharted territory, in search of my accolade, unaided by light, navigating by feel and instinct, in solitude. I challenge myself to engage in a new struggle, equipped with wisdom from previous trials. This conflict is unique, one that I bravely confront in full view of an audience. It’s a journey where I permit my metamorphosis to unfold publicly, uncertain of triumph or defeat.

I acknowledge the fear, fatigue, and the overwhelming moments when I must solely depend on myself. I may falter under the pressure, turn numb from its weight, but I am enlightened now. I persevere, brace for impact, and rest when necessary, ready for this.

How do I honour myself?

By offering a blueprint of resilience, to inspire triumph in others’ lives just as I have in mine.
