The Waiting Is the Wound

You are living in suspension.

The waiting is so familiar it might feel like a virtue — patience, loyalty, hope. But something in you already knows that the next relationship, the next milestone, the right moment is not what you're actually waiting for. You are waiting for permission to be fully in your own life.

What this means

Waiting is not patience. Waiting is postponing the decision to be present in your own life.

The thing you're waiting for cannot give you what you think it will. Only you can give yourself that.

The wound is not the circumstances you're in. The wound is the belief that you have to wait for permission to begin.
