Damn the title 'stuck between where you are and where you want to be' perfectly describes how I've felt since September. I'm constantly thinking about where I want to be or even "need to be" (finding a job). I'm constantly waiting for something to happen. Not quite present in the moment. It's so tiring. This waiting for something to happen. Feeling so stuck. Like I should be further along already. That things should fall into place. I know I'm making progress yet it feels like I'm not making progress at all. I'm trying to be okay with how slow things are going, trying to embrace slow but I'm also not.
Alex, thank you for sharing so honestly 🙏 I felt every word. That in-between space can feel like quicksand, especially when we're carrying the weight of shoulds and the quiet urgency to be further along.
What you said about “trying to embrace slow but also not” is so relatable. That push-pull is deeply human. Sometimes our nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to rest, not because we’re failing, but because we’ve learned that slowing down might mean we’ll fall behind or be forgotten.
Sending you a deep breath. Being here, exactly as you are, is part of the becoming ❤️

I guess it is just about accepting that it is okay to feel both things at the same time 💗
Such beauty in your words Dana, we are perfectly on time where we are. Thank you 🌱🙏
Thank you, Clare 🙏 Yes, the in-between holds quiet growth where we're not behind; we're becoming 💚
