“Welcome to the In-Between” There’s a space no one talks about. The space after the pain, but before the peace. The place where you’re not who you were, but not yet who you’re becoming. That’s where I’ve been living — and that’s where this blog begins. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to balance two truths: 1. I’ve been hurt in ways I didn’t deserve. 2. I’m healing in ways I didn’t expect. Some days I feel strong and grounded. Some days I feel like the past is still pulling at me, trying to drag me back into old versions of myself. Some days I let go. Some days I hold on to things I know aren’t good for me because letting go feels like losing a part of myself.Healing isn’t pretty. It isn’t linear. It isn’t a clean-cut beginning and end.It’s circular.It’s confusing.It’s emotional.It’s sacred.It’s ugly.It’s beautiful.And I didn’t want to wait until I had it all figured out to start sharing my story.People deserve to see the truth — that healing doesn’t require perfection, only honesty.So if you’re here, reading this, I want you to know:You’re allowed to be a work in progress.You’re allowed to be hurting and healing at the same time.You’re allowed to still be learning how to let go.You’re allowed to be stuck and still moving forward.You’re allowed to take your time.Welcome to the in-between.Welcome to the middle of the story.Welcome to Between the Hurt and the Healing.
