In the Quiet Between Choices

If you’re standing at a crossroads, unsure of what to choose — I just want to say, I see you.

Life is full of choices. Some are fast and easy decisions while others are life altering ones. Sometimes we know what to do instantly. Other times, we spin in circles, questioning why we’re here. What if I make the wrong move? What if this changes everything? Will I feel stuck forever? How do I know what’s right?

You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Choosing is vulnerable. It asks us to believe that we’re capable, that we’re worthy, that no matter what happens — we’ll find a way through.

And that’s what I want to remind you and myself of today:

You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward.

You don’t need absolute certainty to take the next right step.

Hope doesn’t always look like a bright light — sometimes, it’s just the quiet courage to keep going.

Here’s something I’ve noticed in my own life.

I often wait until I feel “sure.” Until the fear goes away. Until I have a step-by-step guarantee. But that moment of perfect clarity? It rarely shows up on time. Most of my growth has come from doing the brave thing anyway — even when I was unsure, even when my voice was shaky, even when the outcome was still foggy. And while I hate to admit it, most have been because life MADE me make a decision.

Conversations I had when I wasn’t sure I’d be understood. New paths I’m trying to take, even when part of me wants to turn back and stay in the knowing.

Every single time I chose something — even if it doesn’t end the way I hoped — I’m learning more about myself. My capacity. My resilience. My softness.

Being in this space, I have to remember this is normal. You aren’t alone, you aren’t behind.

You are not broken for needing time.

And even if you take a step and change your mind later — that’s okay. That’s still progress. That’s still movement.

You don’t have to know the ending before you begin. You don’t need to see the whole path to take one faithful step. The truth is, I feel that life is made in the middle. In the choosing, the pausing, the re-choosing. And that doesn’t make you lost — it’s what makes us human.

All we can do is keep pushing ourselves to make those decisions without forgetting there are no wrong choices when you have faith everything will be okay.

Just. Keep. Going.

With love,

Tricia
