Underway
You are enough, just as you are. And, yet, you are never fully complete. You are a constantly unfolding, glorious work in progress. You're not done, you're simply underway.

Happy all along the way
Beware of Destination Happiness. You know, that thing where you think like, I'll be happy when...
