Hey...

Lately, it feels like I’m trying to find my way — for my peace, for my future — but the noise is so loud. Like so many directions pulling at me, none of them fully feeling like me.

I catch myself thinking, “Maybe if I just try harder. Maybe if I say yes to everything. Maybe if I carry it all too.” But honestly? I’m tired. Deep-in-my-arms tired.

I’m learning that sometimes, the bravest thing is to pause. To breathe. To listen to the quiet.

And to trust that the right choice will come when I’m gentle with myself.

I can’t carry it all, and that’s okay.

Some days, I need to slow down and care for my soul — like smoothing on balm that feels like a soft hug, a small act of kindness to remind me I’m still here, still healing.

If you’re feeling this too, know you’re not alone. It’s okay to rest, to feel all of it, and to keep moving gently forward.
