When it comes to the new things you are wanting to learn, it might feel overwhelming at first. You might feel like you’re wandering around without direction. But then, little by little, you start to understand more.
You start to find your bearings.
You wander off the main paths at times.
And you also find unexpected clearings.
You start to make connections.
At first, you only knew a few things, a couple of people, a short list of landmarks. But as you keep learning, you begin to realize you’re finding your rhythm here. Even through all the things that didn’t go according to plan, you still learn from them.
As you move through the forest, you start to recognize where you want to revisit and where you don’t.
Who you want to be and who you no longer are. Why you cling to certain things and why you let go of others.
You trace new routes.
You navigate the shifts.
You learn how to breathe at different altitudes.
You begin to discover there’s more to you, and this boundless space around you. -Morgan Harper Nichols
