Grace in Transition

I know quite a few people right now who are navigating the dissolving of a relationship, be it romantic, familial, or even a long-held friendship. And while every story is different, there's a familiar pattern I keep noticing: a quiet unraveling of direction, a noticeable loss of identity.

When you’ve done life a certain way, with certain people, in certain rhythms, a shift in that dynamic changes everything. It's like the ground underneath your feet moves, but the world expects you to keep walking like nothing happened.

Let me be clear: you are not expected to have it all figured out. Not today. Not even tomorrow. What I wish I could truly instill in you is this, give yourself time and grace. Especially when the change comes uninvited or unexpected. Transitions, by their very nature, are uncomfortable. And growth, real growth, rarely feels good in the moment.

Don’t try to sprint into your next chapter. You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re adjusting. Be thoughtful with your choices. Be deliberate in how you show up for yourself. Be consistent in your efforts, even when progress feels invisible.

And above all, be disciplined. Discipline will carry you when motivation fades and clarity hasn’t arrived yet.

You’re not lost. You’re just becoming.
