For most of my life, I’ve been waiting.
“What are you waiting for?” you ask.
All sorts of things.
Waiting for someone to love me, unconditionally.
Waiting for people to value and validate me.
Waiting for someone to trust and believe in me.
Waiting for the next promotion where my hard work and impact are finally recognized.
Waiting for the perfect partner.
Waiting for someone to make me happy.
Waiting to be truly seen as who I am.
Waiting for the workplace to be more human-centric instead of seeing people as numbers.
Waiting for something or someone to save me and to heal my wounds.
Waiting for the world outside of me to change so the world becomes a better place.
I kept waiting and waiting. I fell asleep.
I fell asleep into a world of numbing, pursuing, and fitting in.
I slept in the dream of the world’s systems without questioning them.
I slept away my power for something outside of me to change.

After so many years sleeping, I’m finally awake.
When I go IN instead of out, things start to change for me.
It turns out, I AM THE ANSWER I’ve been waiting for.
When I am the answer, I can love myself unconditionally.
When I am the answer, I can respect, trust, and believe in myself.
When I am the answer, I can “promote” and “raise” my self-worth.
When I am the answer, I can see my partner as perfect for me.
When I am the answer, I can make myself happy.
When I am the answer, I can be REAL and be visible for who I am.
When I am the answer, I can see people as human and connect with them deeply.
When I am the answer, I save myself and do what I need to heal.
When I am the answer, I can accept and forgive my mistakes with empathy.
When I am the answer, I can be the change I like to see.
When I am the answer, I can change the world by changing myself.
I can finally stop waiting and start living here and now by being the answer.
What will you do differently when YOU ARE THE ANSWER you’ve been waiting for?
Love,
Wen
