The Year of Sacred Stillness

This year, I’m choosing sacred stillness. After a year-long relationship that left me drained, and a growing sense of intellectual fatigue from constantly pushing and proving, grounding feels like the only honest direction forward.

I know who I am now. I know what my love is capable of: its depth, its devotion, its power to transform. But this time, I’d rather pour that love into a different kind of life. One that grows in predictable, peaceful ways. The way a seed knows how to become a flower, the way morning always returns to the sky.

This is the year I root myself in quiet joy and purposeful growth.
No more chasing, no more chaos, no more trying to decode someone else’s emotions. Just me, my garden, my peace, and the work that calls to me.

I’m not giving up on love, just changing where I plant it.

Happy 40th to me.
