The Quiet Process of "Becoming"


We often think of transformation as something dramatic, loud, bright, undeniable. But the truth is,
“Becoming” is not loud.
It’s not in the fireworks.
Not in the applause.
Not even in the final form we so desperately chase.
“Becoming” is quiet.
It lives in the unnoticed hours.
In the long nights when no one is watching.
In the small, intentional decisions that earn no recognition.
It’s in the breaking, and the sacred, slow work of building again.
Growth rarely looks like progress from the outside.
It’s uncomfortable.
It demands patience.
It’s the ache of letting go of what no longer fits, even when it once felt like home.
To “become”, you must shed old versions of yourself.
You must learn the humility of starting over.
And summon the courage to stay the course when everything inside you whispers, "Just give up."
Along the way, you will lose things.
People.
Comfort.
Certainties you thought would always be there.
And yet, in their place, you gain something far more powerful:
Depth.
Clarity.
Truth.
“Becoming” is not just about arrival.
It’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you—
So that, in time, you can step fully into everything that is.
And when that time comes, you’ll find yourself not at the doorstep of perfection,
But at the gentle threshold of peace.
Then, and only then, will you understand:
Every scar, every silence, every step—
Was worth it.
