The In Between Space

 Some days, healing doesn't feel like healing it feels like swimming for your life.
You’ve come up for air after being held under for far too long. You’re kicking, pulling, pressing forward through waves of exhaustion, doubt, and fear. You can see the shore now — that place of rest, peace, and safety — but you’re not there yet.

And honestly? You’re tired. Exhausted even.
So tired you wonder if you’ll make it.
But deep down, you know you will.

Because something inside you won’t let you quit.

You're In The Space Between Survival and Arrival

No one really talks about this space enough:
The space between drowning and deliverance.
Between pain and peace.
Between who you were and who you’re becoming.

It’s exhausting to keep going when you feel like you’ve given everything you have. But this is where resilience is born. Not in perfection, in progression. Not in speed. But in choosing to move forward when it would be easier to fall back.

Imagining the Shore

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it will feel like to stand tall on solid ground.
To look back at the vast ocean of struggle, heartbreak, and survival, and know…
I never have to go back that way again.

That’s not just healing.
That’s freedom.
That’s redemption.
That’s hope realized.

If You’re Still Swimming...

If you’re reading this and you’re still struggling somewhere out in those waters, I want you to know:
You’re not weak. You’re not failing. You’re not alone.
You’re just in the middle.
Keep going. Rest when you need to. Float if you must. But don’t stop moving forward.

The shore is closer than it feels.
And one day soon, you’ll stand tall on solid ground — stronger, wiser, and free.💝

 

🌿 Reflect on these Questions:

1. What “shore” are you swimming toward in your life right now?

2. How can you honor your progress, even if you’re not there yet?

3. What would it feel like to finally let go of the struggle behind you?
