"Sometimes it feels like you were being buried, but then you realise that you were being planted and the only way through was to grow. 2025, love and light always."

tania___page shared:

"Real. Raw. Rooted. Authentic. An evolution in motion, we all witnessed in real time. The passage of time was never meant to be only sparkles. It’s meant to shape us, stretch us, soften us, and reveal our truth. Time didn’t just pass; it initiated you. This felt so radically honest, grounded, and deeply human. Beautifully shared. This is what sacred becoming looks like. Powerful. Sacred. Alive. Messy, Honest, Luminous. Courageous. The kind of beauty that only comes from walking through the fire and choosing yourself anyway. Deeply felt. Deeply real. Truly inspired."
