I No Longer Chase What Feels Uncertain

A reflection on alignment

There was a time I chased things that felt uncertain.

People.

Situations.

Connections that left me questioning myself.

I thought if I tried harder…

if I explained myself better…

or if I gave just a little more…

everything would finally settle.

But it never did.

Many of us were taught to keep fixing relationships, especially with family.

To keep trying.

To keep forgiving.

To keep showing up, even when it hurts.

But healing taught me that love doesn’t always mean access.

You can send light.

You can wish someone healing.

And still choose peace from a distance.

Healing showed me something different.

What’s aligned doesn’t leave you constantly questioning.

It doesn’t leave you wondering where you stand.

It doesn’t ask you to abandon yourself to keep the peace.

Now…

I choose what feels steady.

What feels clear.

What feels peaceful.

What feels right.

Because I’ve learned that peace isn’t something I have to chase.

It’s something I choose.

Take what resonates. Leave the rest. 🤍🌿
