The Trials
The last month (I came back from SummerContrast on 11th Aug) has been extremely demanding.
Nati working three shifts a day, financial insecurity, caring for Hugo as a mostly solo dad, and working towards a better tomorrow somewhen in the meantime.
What a climb.
Oh, and let’s not forget I squeezed in tons of serious writing & soul-searching inbetween, and I’m prepping to launch my most vulnerable project to date.
I also tried to keep up my training regimen, meet friends, and not go crazy from all of this combined.
Right now, I mostly feel anger and exhaustion, I won’t fool you.
But I know this season of trials hardened (and in a strange way also softened) me, and was an essential phase of our journey.
Looking back, I will see the hardships as iron that forged the Man I’ve become.
All that being said, I still very much look up to the future, and regaining some ease once this era is over.
But hey, wait…
Maybe I can summon the peace NOW?
Wasn’t it me who said joy, contentment, and chill come from within?
The ultimate trial: stay love-solid in the eye of the storm.
