🎒 What’s In the Bag Still Matters

You’ve done the work.

Reflected.

Written it all down — metaphorically or not.

You’ve submitted the “report” of who you’ve become.

But there’s something else.

Still in the bag.

Tucked quietly in a side pocket you haven’t opened in a while 🐍

It’s not dangerous.

It’s not something to panic over.

But it is still with you.

🧾 When Growth Is Not a One-Time Submission

Healing isn’t always about the breakthrough moment.

It’s not just about telling the story once and closing the file.

Sometimes it’s about checking back in —

What’s still in the bag I carry?

We process, explain, move on…

but some things stay — not because we’ve failed to heal,

but because they’re part of who we are now.

They shaped us.

The assignment may be done,

but the experience lives on inside you.

🐍 The Parts You Don’t Present — But Still Hold

Maybe it’s a memory you’ve explained,

but haven’t quite felt through.

Maybe it’s an emotion you’ve softened,

but haven’t fully named.

Or maybe it’s a truth about yourself — intense, real, still alive —

that isn’t meant to be buried…

just held with respect 🌀

You don’t need to be afraid of what’s still in the bag.

You’re not in danger.

You’re simply still becoming.

🕯 A Reminder

You can move forward and still carry something tender.

You can heal and still have stories that need time.

You can “submit” the version of you the world sees,

and still be discovering what’s quietly waiting within.

It’s okay if you haven’t unpacked everything yet.

What’s in the bag still matters —

even if no one else sees it but you 💼
