- A different job. A different relationship. A different version of yourself.
But here’s the truth no one really tells you—
Even if you could wave a magic wand and land in that “somewhere else,”
you’d still carry the same emotional weight you’re holding right now.
Because it’s not about where you are.
It’s about what’s still unresolved within you.
You keep telling yourself you’re stuck because life isn’t moving fast enough.
But what if you’re stuck because you’ve forgotten how to be here?
Because you’ve spent so long surviving, waiting, fixing, doing…
that your body doesn’t know how to feel safe in stillness.
You get so caught in the future—
the what-ifs, the when-will-I’s, the maybe-one-days—
that you start to feed the anxiety that’s been trying to protect you from disappointment.
And when it all feels too heavy,
you dip into that familiar numbness that whispers, “What’s the point?”
But this—right here—is the point.
The moment you stop sprinting to the next version of yourself,
and start actually meeting the one that’s already here.
Look around.
You’ve made it through things that should’ve broken you.
You’ve built safety from nothing.
You’ve found ways to soothe yourself when no one else could.
You’ve come so much further than you realise.
So maybe today isn’t about arriving.
Maybe it’s about allowing.
Let yourself live a little.
Do something small that reminds you you’re alive—not just surviving time, but inhabiting it.
Because time doesn’t wait.
And the longer you wait to feel “ready,”
the more life quietly passes you by.
So start now—clumsily, imperfectly, beautifully.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to remember that you’re already here. 🖤
