The Space Between Who I Was and Who I’m Becoming

Dear Creator Diary,

There’s a version of me that used to love being seen.

Not in a flashy way. But in a validating way.
I knew how to show up with a how-to. I knew how to deliver. I knew how to earn attention.
But somewhere along the way, I started mistaking performance for purpose.

And when I stopped performing, I started feeling invisible.

Even to myself.

There’s a space I’m in now, the space between who I was and who I’m becoming.
It’s quiet here. Uncomfortable. But also sacred.

I’m learning to create without urgency.
To speak without selling myself.
To lead without convincing.

It’s not as “productive.”
But it’s more true to who I am.

And if that means slower growth, smaller launches, or more intimate circles, so be it.

I want my work to reflect my values, not just my revenue.
I want my life to feel full, not my calendar.
And I want to be proud of what I build without apologizing for how I build it.

This isn’t a rebrand.
This isn’t a comeback.
This is a return… to myself.

And if you’ve found yourself in this in-between. You’re not lost. Just keep going. You’re only now arriving.

You’ll always find your way,

Abagail
