In Between
Yesterday turned out to be a tougher day than expected. I’m not entirely sure why. Nothing was wrong, exactly — just off. Predictable, really. Good days and bad days are part of it. This one sat somewhere in between.
I found myself caught up in the busyness of the school. Moving too quickly. Jumping from one thing to the next without really settling into any of it. It’s clear I need to slow down. Understand what I’m doing before trying to add pace. Build from something solid instead of skimming across the surface.
Everything is fine. Just a day that asked more patience than I had available.
Today, I’ll try something simpler. Not pushing. Not holding back. Just paying attention and letting the work unfold at a pace I can actually stay with. Learning has its own friction. Being challenged does too. The small moments land when they’re ready.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper break, and I can feel that somewhere underneath all this. Not urgently. Just noticeably.
For now, Thursday is here.
The work is still waiting.
That’s enough to start with.
