A Conversation That Needed to Happen

Today, I had a conversation that I didn’t know how much I needed. It wasn’t easy. My heart was heavy, and the words came from a place of both sadness and longing — for clarity, for peace, for something to feel familiar again.

Over time, things have shifted in a space I once felt deeply connected to. I’ve gone from feeling embraced to feeling unsure. The comfort I once found in the day-to-day rhythm has been disrupted, and honestly, it hurts.

With my 65th birthday approaching, I made a decision for myself: I want to protect my peace. I want to step into this new year of life surrounded by warmth and truth — not tension or forced smiles.

When I shared this, I was met with kindness and understanding. I was reminded that I’m cared for, and that perhaps with time, things will find a better balance again. For that, I’m grateful.

But today was about honoring my emotions. Giving myself space to feel, to release, to say, “This is hard, and I need a moment to breathe.” And I think that’s something we all deserve from time to time.

So here I am — choosing grace, choosing honesty, and choosing to create space for healing. This next chapter of my life means more to me than ever… and I want to enter it whole.
