Dear Me: Keep Showing Up

Consistency is Hard

… But I’m Learning Anyway ✨

If you remember my “Taking My Life Back” series from last fall, then you already know — I started strong with Days 1 through 3… and then life happened. Things got noisy, distractions took over, and that consistent energy? Gone.

But the desire to keep going never left. I just needed time to come back with intention.

This post isn’t a continuation it’s a check-in. A reminder to myself (and maybe to you too) that just because you paused doesn’t mean you quit.

Let’s talk about what it looks like to keep showing up, even when it’s messy, uncertain, or delayed.

Whew, let me be real for a second being consistent is not as easy as it sounds.

When I first started this journey of blogging, building my brand, chasing my dreams I came out the gate on fire. I had ideas flowing, energy high, and everything felt exciting. But after a while… life started life-ing. lbvs

The truth is, staying consistent when the excitement wears off is hard. Some days you’re tired. Some days you’re doubting yourself. Some days you’re just not “feeling it” and that’s real.

But here’s what I’m learning:

  • Progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
  • Showing up “imperfectly” is still showing up.
  • Momentum builds quietly , sometimes it’s slower than we want, but it’s building either way.

I’m not writing this because I have it all figured out. I’m writing this because I’m still in it. I’m still choosing to start again, even after slow seasons or setbacks. And that’s something to celebrate. 🤎

If you’re in a season where it’s hard to keep going, just know: you’re not alone. Keep showing up for your future self, even if it’s a little messy. We’re in this together.

✨ Progress over perfection, always. ✨

“God doesn’t require perfection—just obedience. Keep showing up, even when it’s hard. There’s purpose in your persistence.”
