The most humbling thing of all.

The most humbling thing of all is the realisation that I am not ready (yet).

The most humbling thing of all is the realisation that I am not ready (yet).

I do not have all of the answers [so ]

I put down my sword.

I am not ready to give a speech, to share, to talk.

I am still healing, I am still processing, I am still learning.

I cannot heal others before I have healed myself. And I will always be healing myself. And perhaps I will always be healing, full stop.

This is not about the destination. I do not have to be perfect to be of value to (and in) the world. But I do have to listen to myself. I do have to respect and honour my boundaries, even if (when) it feels uncomfortable or elicits feelings of discomfort in others. And I do not have to be something for others if it comes at the expense of being what I need for myself.

There is time.

And there isn’t time, then so be it.

I must make the most of whatever time I have, full stop.

There will always be more to do

to say,

to learn,

to feel,

to experience.

That’s life.

But timing, too, is everything. You have to be in the right…
