A reminder for when everything feels uncertain
There’s a strange discomfort that creeps in when life no longer looks like it used to - but hasn’t yet revealed what’s coming next. Maybe you’ve left a job, ended a relationship, moved to a new city, or just started questioning the way things have always been.
This in-between space - where things are shifting, unclear, unresolved – is what many people call a transitional phase. And let’s be honest: it can feel like absolute chaos.
But here’s what I want to remind you (and maybe remind myself, too):
You’re not falling apart. You’re becoming.
Too often, we treat uncertainty like a personal failure.
Like we’ve lost our direction, our purpose, our power.
But being in transition doesn’t mean something’s wrong.
It means something’s moving. And movement is life.
I used to panic every time I didn’t have a clear plan. I’d ask myself:
“Why can’t I just figure it out?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Shouldn’t I be further along by now?”
But over time, I’ve learned that transitions are not proof that you're behind.
They’re proof that you’re brave enough to outgrow things.
It takes courage to leave what’s familiar.
To admit that something no longer fits, even when you don’t know what’s next.
It takes even more courage to sit in that discomfort without rushing to fix it.
The truth is: you don’t need to have it all figured out right now.
You just need to stay present enough to hear yourself again.
Because that’s what transitional phases are really about:
Not pushing forward at full speed.
Not pretending everything’s fine.
But listening. Feeling. Reconnecting.
Sometimes life asks you to stop performing and start being.
To let go of who you thought you should be, so you can finally meet who you really are.
And yes, that’s scary.
But it’s also where the magic happens.
So if you’re in a messy middle right now, I hope you know this:
You’re not late.
You’re not broken.
You’re simply in motion.
And motion, no matter how uncertain, is a sign of life.
Trust the pause.
Trust the fog.
Trust yourself.
Something beautiful is on the other side of this.
And you don’t need to rush to get there.
