The hardest part is accepting that not everyone walks the same path, even when they're walking beside you.
It was always hard for me to accept things that were out of order. Sometimes decisions that were made with different intentions than what was meant to happen.
You see a path. You walk it. You trust the people around you. Then something shifts — not because of you, but because of someone else's plan, someone else's fear, someone else's need.
And you're left holding the gap between what you thought was happening and what actually happened.
I struggled with that. I still do. Not because I can't see the truth — but because I wanted to believe in the intention. That's the hardest part.
Accepting that not everyone walks the same path, even when they're walking beside you.
But you learn. You grow. You start to see the gap before it opens. And when it does, you don't fall into it. You try to step around it.
