I often feel that same overhanging doom of wanting to get the next phase “just right and then I’ll feel content” cycle that doesn’t actually exist. Slowly realizing how much I need to just be in the present — and you’ve reflected on this so beautifully. I haven’t experienced what you have, but your writing is gorgeous. I hope your book gets published in your Butterfly Year 🦋

Your title on this drew me in. It reminds me of a quote by Brianna Wiest, which I'm going to absolutely butcher but is along the lines of "you're finding things hard because you've changed and that's not a bad thing". When things we thought would feel good, don't, like your house, maybe it's a sign that now you're destined for bigger things. Something like that; sorry I can't find the original to do it justice! But thank you for sharing. Your image of growing new wings is a beautiful one x
