The Beginning That Follows the End
on transition, healing, and the courage to keep becoming
You wait for something to happen—
as if one moment will arrive and finally end the pain for good.
As if there will be a clear line, a finish point,
a place where the work is done and you can rest.
But the end is rarely an ending.
More often, it is the beginning of something new—
a process that carries its own kind of growing pains.
Do not be afraid of this.
You are not breaking; you are transitioning.
You no longer fit what you are leaving behind.
Growth does not ask for permission.
It continues whether you resist it or not.
And as you step into what comes next,
know this: you are loved.
You are held.
You are supported.
You are not alone.
There is no single way to heal.
There is only the way that meets you where you are.
Let your healing take the shape that suits your growth.
There is no apology required for moving forward,
and no turning back to what no longer fits.
Forward is not a destination.
It is a living, breathing process—
one that is always present.
So embrace it.
With grace.
With gratitude.
Let your life become an invitation—
not by explaining, not by convincing,
but by being willing to be seen.
When others witness your experience,
they may begin to sense what you have come to know:
that there is something sacred woven into the process itself.
Bliss is not waiting on the other side of healing.
It is inherent in the becoming.
Trust this.
Have faith in what is unfolding.
Love is not separate from you.
Love is you.
