This time of year does something to us.
It slows the noise just enough for the thoughts we’ve been avoiding to show up.

Not the loud, dramatic questions.
The quiet ones.

• Am I proud of how I showed up?

• What did I survive that no one clapped for?

• What do I keep postponing because I’m tired?

You don’t need answers today.
You just need honesty.

Before the year ends, don’t rush into resolutions.
Sit with reflection first.

Because clarity doesn’t come from pressure.
It comes from presence.

Sometimes writing it down is the safest place to start.
Not to fix everything just to finally face it.
