Will take good care of you!

the space between almost and not yet.

where nothing has ended, but nothing is truly yours either.

is not always about losing someone.

sometimes it is the quiet violence of knowing you are not the only place their heart is resting.

you try to stay calm. try to stay kind. try to stay bright.

but somewhere inside, you are already asking:

am I becoming the one or have to learn to let go?

phrase

to stop asking permission to become yourself.

to feel fear, and still move.

to know that freedom is not always gentle — sometimes it asks for endings, for wounds, for the courage to leave behind what can no longer grow with you.

not innocence. not safety. but truth in motion.

my heart still beats. my skin still feels. my lungs still breathe. my mind still fears.

that is the contradiction of becoming:

to be alive enough to want more, and afraid enough to hesitate.

noun

not always a place. sometimes a person.

someone you go to when the world becomes too loud, when your thoughts start asking for answers your heart is not ready to give.

a hideaway is not the decision. not the future. not the promise.
