The Month I Learned to Be Carried
The month of June 2026 did not ask me to become someone new. It asked me to trust the woman I had already spent two years becoming. The month opened quietly, with a simple intention: integrate further. Looking back now, I realize that was exactly what June was designed to do. It wasn’t a month of invention or reinvention. It was a month of embodiment. The lessons arrived one after another, gently at first. I remembered that you can’t paddle out of the eddy by force. I learned that the steps build the mountain. I celebrated small victories, checked off important work, swam, painted, walked with Sophie, gathered with friends, and found moments of joy tucked inside ordinary days. Life continued asking me to practice everything I had been learning. Then, without warning, the landscape changed.
