This piece feels like a breath of relief... a gentle, grounded reminder that not knowing what’s next doesn’t mean you’re lost, it means you’re becoming. I love how it honors the foggy, in-between seasons not as detours but as essential groundwork, and how it lifts up small rituals as quiet acts of resilience. The line “even here, even in the fog, you were moving” stayed with me; it captures so beautifully the truth that even in stillness, growth is happening. Thank you for this.
Having anxiety over not having a job and not having a clear idea of what the rest of my life is going to look like, reading this gave me some comfort. I'll get a job someday, I'll gain financial freedom eventually. There's no need for me to rush. I'm running my marathon at my pace.
This piece is a breath of fresh air. Specifically the part about being “conditioned to chase milestones” and “the cultural obsession with knowing”. In fact, I am currently struggling with friends/family who know I am in this period and rather than asking “how I am?” The question is always “so what are you going to do next” “are you going to stay or go” “what happens now”. With space, I can recognize that the bombardment of these questions are reflective of this cultural obsession; however it’s worth noting that even in these moments of feeling power in the uncertainty, the outside noise can be quite loud.
This article has come to me in a moment that's exactly like that. Things are changing and I feel so lost, so unsure that I am actually petrified. So thank you for writing this. I think I'm going to print it.
That's beautiful! Incredible how from different angles we experience the same thing. And it is helpful to know, sometimes it just feels "less alone".<3
