Are you feeling stuck in the mud — anxious, uncertain, a little sad or drained? Maybe you’ve been catching sight of yourself in the mirror and not quite recognizing who’s looking back. It doesn’t have to be one big thing. It might be a silent slow-drift — sort of losing your confidence, feeling aimless since the change, grief sagging in your chest without making any noise or just an all-the-time feeling like you are trying to maintain day by day.
Perhaps you’re an adolescent carrying the burden of everything: to grow up, to decide on what is the “correct” course, to fit in. Or maybe you’re one of those adults trying to wade through the sea of responsibilities, expectations and dreams that don’t seem like they fit anymore. Maybe you’ve experienced loss, been parted from a sense of yourself and are learning to stand up again. Perhaps you simply want something — clarity, calm, connection, direction. You don’t need to have all the answers, or even know what the next thing you should do is. It’s okay to feel lost. To yourself, first. A gentle nudge that while you may not have it all together today, you’re still allowed to breathe. Allowed to rest. Allowed to just be.
Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do is literally keep our ass in a seat and sit with the uncertainty —to be with the ache — and go anyway. Slowly. Gently. With yourself.
