Worthy of Worthless Things
Living beyond the checklist
A thought has been plaguing me for a while now…
“What if the most meaningful parts of life are the moments that produce nothing at all? What if all the busyness and checklists are crowding out the very things that could actually fulfill us?”
I’m one of those women who has mastered the art of ‘doing.’ My life is filled with things that should make me feel complete — but instead, I feel like I’m starving, endlessly hungry for something I can’t quite name.
On paper I should be satisfied, sure I don’t have a partner but the house full of amazing kids, and a community of inspiring and genuinely supportive friends and family… check and check. Yet somehow it’s not enough.
Clearly, I don’t by any means ‘have it all’ but instead of feeling content with what I do have, there is an echoing space within me. Much like my appetite which seems insatiable when I’m consuming the empty calories of things that are supposed to make me feel good, it isn’t when I eat nourishing things. The things that actually feed me rather than just filling me.
