Re-start

Today I’m making a very important decision:I’ll start over whenever I see fit.More often than not, I find myself needing to forgive myself again.I used to think forgiveness was something you do once and it’s done. One clean break with the past. I was wrong.Every inch of growth, every new understanding, requires me to forgive … Continue reading Re-start

Far

How lucky I am to have come this far.I don’t know how I made it through—what I did or didn’t do—but I’m here. And maybe that’s the most beautiful part:I’m still here. Still needed.

Luxury

Today, I feel luxurious.Luxury is the freedom to move my body without pain.To wake with ease and stretch beneath the soft light of morning.To savor a bowl of hot oats, then run ten steady kilometers—breath and earth in rhythm, every step a quiet victory.Luxury is a two-hour nap with no guilt, no rush.It is opening … Continue reading Luxury
