The Closing for an Opening

11/13/2023

If you’ve been following my journey, you know 2023 has been a year of transition and perseverance: the end of a marriage, the rebirth of my independence, my continued successes with writing, teaching, all the thingsss. 

​And I’m so thankful for the opportunities involving the good, the bad, the ugly.
​
I’ve experienced hardship, softship, and in betweenship.

In all forms.

Including now.
​
Because the year is not yet over. And I recognize that.

Honor it, even.
​
​Because when a door closes…we know how the rest of the cliche goes. 

​The biggest takeaway, however, is in the knowing that roadmaps include blocks that, if one stops to reflect, are actually blueprints for more change equivalent to another exciting beginning.

I’m ecstatic for this next phase in my life. For all the adventures it will afford. 

Because I let another person in. 
Despite my mental kicking and screaming.
Yesss.
Someone who was IN FRONT of my face. The whole time.
Quietly waiting.
​Patient.
A phenomenal exertion of confidence.


​Because in the end, it’s about happiness and how it’s acquired and sustained.
