Why I Need Space to Change My Mind
Tags: growth, women, self trust, DG Speaks, reflection
I need space to change my mind. That sentence feels simple, but I know how much pressure women can feel to stay consistent for other people’s comfort.
The Freedom to Reconsider
Sometimes I believed something because it helped me survive a season. Sometimes I made a plan before I had enough information. Sometimes growth arrived and rearranged my priorities without asking permission first.
When Growth Interrupts the Plan
Changing my mind does not mean I was fake before. It means I am alive now. That idea sits beside women and rest and Black women storytellers because women need room to narrate our own becoming.
A Woman Is Allowed to Evolve
The hard part is that people may prefer the version of me that was easier to understand. They may want me to keep wanting what I used to want. But self-trust requires honesty, not performance.
Choosing Again With Care
I use quiet practices to listen better. Sometimes that means journaling. Sometimes that means walking. Sometimes that means using Calm to create enough stillness to hear myself think.
Changing my mind is not a betrayal of who I was. It is a conversation with who I am becoming. I want a life that leaves room for that.
