I feel like referring to myself as a "WIP" involved a lot of "should-ing" all over myself and at the end of the day... I'm already enough :) It took me years to get to that realization.

Yes! That's exactly how I feel about it too. You are 100% already enough. No shoulds about it 😊

I've never referred to myself as WIP, even though there are things I'd like to work on. I am who I am, like your coworker said, but I want to be a better "me."

I think that sounds like the perfect balance!

I supposed the "progress" part is our evolution. Some people don't want to change. Either they are afraid to or think change shows weakness (like admitting you were wrong before). So just say you are endlessly evolving! LOL. You rule, Jackie. xo

I definitely like the “evolving” much better! I definitely know some of those people who don’t want to change or get better so definitely don’t want to be them either…endlessly evolving it is 😊
