trust the process
18:58April has been. . .full. Contrary to all my promises, I have not thought about blogging once #sorryguys. Life has been full in a way that doesn't that merits written updates. It's all been very un-insta worthy and not exciting so don't feel like you've missed much, friend!
I was watching an musician's Insta live while doing some creative work last week and in it they were responding to viewer's comments of "when is this going to be on Spotify? I can't wait for the album!!!" They gently reminded their viewers, "We're still writing!! Trust the process, guys."
Trust the process.
I've heard it a thousand times. I know you have too. But it has stuck with me longer now because it applies so heavily. I've known May (that's what i'm going to code-call it for now) has been coming for a while, and I've a lot of details need worked out. It feels scary to decide on something big, and still hold every string to things that aren't going to change like this is. Life is going to look more different this summer than it ever has, and I'm glad of it. Though it feels scary too.
Goodbyes are hard and that's cliché for a reason.
I cannot offer anything crazy inspiring about "the process". It can look very differently from me to you. And mostly it stinks to be in limbo. I wonder why we aren't taught to appreciate it more; I would have certainly traded Algebra for lessons in this instead.
I want to end with a song that has been speaking to my soul lately. I won't post the words or give an explanation - I think it will explain itself just fine.
happy tuesday, friends.
i'll be back with actual words (and photos!) soon : )

Proud of you for jumping into the big, exciting, scary mess. Change is hard and so incredibly weird, and sometimes I think that's all that can really be said about it. I hope that May, in all of the mess, is filled with a whole lot of unexpectedly beautiful things. xx
ReplyDeletep.s. Will definitely be having that song on repeat for the foreseeable future. :-)
I don't know what more can be said about change either.
DeleteJumping into messes I am. Let's go.
