Maybe right now, you’re alone because whatever you need to learn about yourself can only be learned in solitude. Maybe right now, the pieces of yourself you’re finding are fusing a truer self into form, a kind of self that will become a more clear and recognizable match for the places and people and opportunities that are meant to come your way.
Maybe right now, you don’t feel good enough because you’re going to bring someone to the places where you feel the most unworthy and let them love you there. Maybe right now, it’s quiet because you’re learning to hear the sound of your own voice. Maybe right now, you feel stuck because you have tried to force stillness when what you really need is to keep going. Maybe right now, you feel lost because you’re getting a chance to choose something greater than what you once assumed the best could be.
Maybe right now, you’re learning to see yourself with kinder eyes. To give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Maybe right now, you’re realizing the value in recognizing how far you’ve come, and allowing that to fuel you forward. Maybe right now, you’re giving yourself more credit. Maybe you’re giving yourself a second chance. Maybe you’re learning how to be with yourself in the quiet hours, the times when you’d rather fill the void with another person’s company. Maybe you’re learning how to enjoy your own presence.
Maybe life is trying to show you how taking care of the person you are informs the one you will become. Maybe things are happening just as they need to, even if you don’t understand their sequence, or order, or reason. Maybe all you’re meant to do is take it one day, or even hour at a time. To greet the moment and ask what you should do with it, even if what you should do is sometimes the bare minimum, and sometimes the revolutionary.
Maybe this is the time when you make space for all of those pieces of you to come together, to settle in and find their way home. Maybe in the midst of the uncertainty, this is life’s way of making sure you make peace with yourself.
