Just A Moment In Pause

The fear of “losing control” is really the fear of trusting adult professionals to make decisions about how they work and live.

Does the life you’re living recognize the person you are becoming?

Discomfort signals that we are no longer living purely from habit or expectation. It marks the moment when agency replaces predictability, and possibility becomes real.

After snowblowing, I get very nostalgic…I fantasize about walking into a warm home that smells like the holidays, sip some hot coco, and wrap my arms around my love while we look out the window as the snow continues to fall…

The countdown to snow blow time…

She makes snowflakes want to fall faster just to kiss her cheeks

Out of sorts and full of love

When my eyes see her, I dream

When my skin feels her touch, I dream

When I hear her voice, I dream

When my heart loves her, I dream

My heart has a hugprint on it.

I’ve often wondered if folks read the story, what would they really feel?

There’s this space in my life that’s forever filled…by her

Going it alone feels so unnatural to me and yet, here I am…

Going

It

Alone

Love feels more like a flow than a force

Mind racing with all the things and seeing that I may be spreading myself too thin…and why?

Yup, my fear of disappointing others.

And snowblowing complete…what a winter whirlwind of a day! ❄️
