In-Between Becoming

About this Scenario

I've been trying to figure myself out in the quiet moments, the ones where the world finally stops buzzing and I can hear my own thoughts without interrupcion. It's strange how loud the silence gets when you're not sure what you're listening for. Some days I feel steady, almost certain, like I'm finally walking in the right direction. Other days I drift, lerting the hours pull me along like a leaf on a slow river, telling myself I chose the current. I chink abour the people I've been, versions of me that felt so permanent at the time. They linger like old photographs in a drawer, familiar faces I recognize but no longer belong to. There are moments I want to start over completely, erase the lines and rewrite the whole story clean. But I'd lose the quier victories, the lessons that didn't feel like lessons, the parts of me I earned the hard way. So I move forward—not gracefully, but honestly, carrying what I can and letting go of what I shouldn't. Maybe that's all any of us can do-learn to live in the in-between, and trust that becoming is its own kind of arrival.
