You feel stuck because you’re trying to force something that isn’t ready. What’s meant for you will never need to be pushed, it will arrive effortlessly.

There is a certain kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to make something work when the timing, the circumstances, or the people involved just aren’t aligned. It’s the weight of holding on too tightly, of chasing something that keeps slipping away, of pouring everything you have into something that refuses to bloom.

I know what it feels like to want something so badly that you ignore the signs. To convince yourself that if you just try a little harder, wait a little longer, love a little louder, things will finally fall into place. But the truth is, nothing that is truly meant for you will require this much force. Nothing real will make you beg for it to stay.

Sometimes, the delay isn’t a punishment, it’s protection.

That job you keep chasing but never get? Maybe it’s because there’s a better one waiting. That person you keep holding onto despite feeling unseen? Maybe it’s because real love isn’t meant to be this painful. That dream that feels so out of reach no matter how hard you try? Maybe it’s because the version of you that needs to fulfill it hasn’t fully arrived yet.

You are not stuck. You are being redirected.

What’s meant for you will come, not when you beg, not when you break yourself trying to fit into spaces too small for you, but when the time is right. And when it does, you won’t have to push, force, or convince it to stay. It will feel like home.

Food for thought: What if the very thing you’re fighting for is meant to be yours, but not yet? What if, instead of forcing the door open, you allowed yourself to trust the timing of your own life?
