Some days, life really be life-ing. Like, full on flames everywhere. You’re dodging mess left and right, barely holding it together, just trying to survive. It’s like you’re in the middle of a burning building with a solo cup of water, wondering how you’re supposed to put all of this shit out.

Listen friend, just because this month or this week feels like chaos doesn’t mean you won’t find your peace again. Sometimes, survival is enough. You don’t have to have all the answers, fix everything at once, or pretend you’re okay when you’re not. Just breathe. Be intentional taking 10 deep breaths a day. One step at a time. One thing at a time.

As I sit at this Wawa, charging my car at 7 AM, enjoying the morning silence before the work chaos kicks in, I realize that sometimes, making nothing out of nothing is literally the answer. Not every moment needs a plan, a purpose, or a fix. Sometimes, you just need to exist, sit still, and let life settle around you. Some fires aren’t yours to put out.

Fires die down. Storms pass. You will make it through this, just like you always have. So even if all you do today is take a deep breath and keep going, that’s still a win. Tomorrow? We rebuild. But today? Just be.
