My ducks are absolutely not in a row.
I don’t even know where some of them are… and I’m fairly certain one of them is a pigeon.
And that’s okay.
Life isn’t linear. It’s messy, unpredictable, and constantly evolving. Growth rarely happens when everything is neat and orderly — it happens in uncertainty, challenge, and recalibration.
I don’t always get to where I plan to go. Weather changes. Obstacles appear. The bush becomes thick and impassable. And that’s okay too. The mountain is always there for another day, another time.
Not reaching the destination doesn’t mean the journey was wasted. Sometimes the lesson is knowing when to pause, adjust, or turn back with respect — for yourself and for the environment around you.
Progress doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence, adaptability, and the willingness to keep moving forward, even when the path changes.
