PIECES OF MAY
May this month not come to an end?
With a lot of emotions, moments, and a closed chapter, May was a month to remember my roots and purpose. Even though it might not seem like it, I disconnected online and recharged with a more spiritual sense of self.
The journey I'm on is curved, and it has just completed a phase that was necessary in my path, one that opens new perspectives and beginnings which have only just started in June. I feel the need to stay active, to reinvent myself, and to keep chasing what my head knows is right.
May reminded me that showing up for yourself is not always the comfortable choice, but it is always the right one. There is a version of us that is always looking for the shortcut; the easier path, the quicker result, the less demanding option. And I get it, because I've been there too. But this month something shifted. I found myself wanting to do more, not less. To fill the hours with things that actually move me forward, to say yes to the effort, and to stop negotiating with myself over whether I felt ready. You never fully feel ready. You just start, and then you keep going.
May also reminded me that not everything needs to be shared in real time to be real. Some experiences are worth sitting with, processing privately, before putting them into words. And maybe that is its own kind of discipline. Knowing when to go quiet, and trusting that when you come back, you'll have something more honest to say.
As I step into June, I'm not starting fresh so much as continuing. The curve in the road doesn't reset the path, it just changes the view. And from where I'm standing now, the view feels worth the detour.
