You’re Becoming Someone New

(Even If Nothing Changed Yet)

That restless feeling

isn’t impatience.

It’s the soul noticing

it has outgrown a room

your life still occupies.

Something in you

has already crossed

a quiet border.

Your body knows.

Your heart knows,

even if your calendar does not.

The patterns you carry

were once faithful guardians.

They read danger for you,

kept the peace,

earned belonging.

They were acts of love

from an earlier self.

And when you see this

without judgment,

a soft gratitude rises.

But survival skills

are not meant

to become identities.

Now your system pauses

where it once hurried.

You feel the tightening

when something isn’t true.

You notice the weight

of being who you no longer are.

This is not wrong.

It is awakening

mid-sentence.

Growth is rarely loud.

More often it arrives

as quiet discomfort,

what no longer fits

resting beside

a life not yet rearranged.

This is the threshold,

a tender meeting place

between who protected you

and who is emerging now.

Here, you don’t force change.

You befriend clarity.

You listen inward.

You let what is false

grow lighter

in your hands.

Integration is a gentle art:

keeping the wisdom,

releasing the fear,

thanking the past

without living there.

You are learning

to listen more deeply.

And this in-between,

this subtle recalibration,

is not a detour.

It is the moment

your old self loosens its grip

and your true self

takes a fuller breath.
