“Somehow it’ll work out?”
Maybe.
May be!
Ease, perfection? No! And you know that sometimes… it requires all of you. There are days when getting out of bed feels like five hours too early, you know — that dull ache — that life won’t carry itself today. You’ll have to do it. You’ll have to be the engine, the glue, the fuel and the map. There’s no one else. You’ll have to gather every ounce of strength, every stray spark of motivation, and show up for your life — even if your hair’s a mess and your heart would prefer to soak for a month on a lonely beach, rather than racing anywhere.
Sometimes, life needs rebuilding. Thought by thought. And no one else can do that work for you. Only you can decide what’s worth keeping, what needs fixing, and how to carry your story in a way that still feels like yours.
It’s May. May this not be heavy. All it needs: the tiniest tweaks. A little extra sunlight. A book, or two… OK, maybe three. A looooong walk. A reframe. And occasionally, NO! Let it be OFTEN — beautiful days when the stars are kind and the universe has a gentle mood — you pause, you delay the grand moves, you breathe! You’re just being, without feeling like you’re falling behind.
And this is where I want to say something clearly, especially if you’re in a season of doubt:
Don’t give up.
Don’t throw in the towel just because things aren’t unfolding the way you imagined. And don’t — please don’t — go looking for signs to back out. If you search for an excuse, you’ll find it in every corner: in a cloudy sky, in a delayed train, in the wrong text at the wrong time.
But if you decide to stay in the fight — to believe that your effort matters, even when it feels invisible — you’ll find something better: the quiet dignity of showing up.
…like, like a …. wild boar.
I know it sounds strange, but there is something wildly profound about it.
Don’t stop just because the path is muddy. Don’t freeze because the mess is up to your knees. Just keep going. Keep moving through it, one stubborn, determined step at a time. You don’t need grace. You don’t need to glide. You need to push forward.
Because when you move with heart, whether you’re saving a relationship, starting over in a new job, building a business from scratch, or just trying to make your way through another Monday, something always comes of it.
It may not be exactly what you hoped.
But it’ll be something.
A success.
Charge forward.
You’ve got this.
