Perhaps the life you are trying so hard to change is the very life that has been preparing you for your next becoming.
Sometimes, when life doesn’t unfold as we imagined, we wonder where we went wrong. We look back and question our choices, measure ourselves against what might have been, and worry about where we will land.
But what if we haven’t failed? What if we have simply reached the edge of who we once needed to be?
Perhaps the disappointments taught us discernment. The endings taught us release. The unexpected detours invited us to discover strengths, wisdom, and possibilities we might never have found along the easier road.
And perhaps healing begins when we stop asking why we weren’t enough and begin wondering why we ever believed we had to prove that we were.
We don’t have to know exactly where we are going to trust that life can still surprise us. We don’t have to have every answer tonight. We can loosen our grip on the past, offer compassion to the person we have been, and allow the next chapter to reveal itself in its own time.
So, if you find yourself between what was and what is yet to be, be gentle with yourself. You are not a failure because your life looks different than you expected. You are a human being still unfolding, still learning, still worthy of love, peace, and beautiful new beginnings.
Perhaps this is not the end of the story you hoped for, but the beginning of one you cannot yet imagine. With more love,
