We are designed to evolve ✨
These photos were snapped back when we were 22 and 24 years old - one month before we got engaged. Sometimes it feels like this was yesterday and sometimes it feels lifetimes ago.
When we fell in love back in 2018, we knew there was a journey with many hurdles ahead. We were born and raised in two different countries with very diverse cultures. We both came from families that couldn’t support us. We were young and had nothing to our names. We knew in the relationship all we had was each other and our vision for the future.
Even though we had many things against us.. our foundation was the same - our faith - we met through church when I was living overseas in Fiji 🌴
After only dating in person for 2 months, we made the choice to choose faith over fear and pursue our relationship knowing it wasn’t going to be easy. That started the journey of international love, years of uncertainty with having to move out of our home towns, start from scratch, navigate in*******al relationships, marriage and visas.
My goodness did we grow through it all - sometimes through choice, sometimes through pain.
Our journey has had so many peaks and valleys. The people we were when these photos were taken and the people we are now .. two different people 👩❤️👨
This is because we as humans are meant to evolve. We’ve grown in our beliefs, in our values, in our experiences, in our pains, in our triumphs.. with it all, we’ve used it as tools to grow, to evolve our minds and grow our spirituality.
6 years ago, young 22 year old me, would have never thought I’d be running an online business with the purpose of breaking cycles and building wealth and mentoring others to do that same. That’s the beauty of growth - you can embody evolved versions of you that you never thought was possible.
This man, my best friend has been with me every step of the way and has experienced his own journey of growth and we’ve done it hand in hand.
Here’s todays reminder: who you were isn’t who you’re always going to be. We grow through the seasons but it’s truly up to us to decide how we much we grow and in which direction it is 🌺
