Yesterday was the last day of my old life. I closed the door on years of routine, familiarity, and everything I knew. Today, I’m just here—no plans, no obligations, just me and my thoughts. I thought today would feel triumphant, like I had finally achieved something I’d dreamed about for so long, but instead, it feels more like a quiet rumination, a pause before the next chapter begins.
The last day at work was a blur of emotions. There were heartfelt goodbyes, smiles, a few tears, and a lot of nostalgia. It felt like I was watching myself from the outside, trying to soak in every moment as I walked out of the office for the last time. I hugged people I had spent years working alongside, people who had become a second family. I took one last look at my desk, the place that had been mine for so long, and walked out the door. It felt final, but it also felt right.
And now here I am, sitting with the weight of it all. Today isn’t about action; it’s about reflection. I’m letting myself feel the emptiness that comes with letting go, and the bittersweet relief of knowing that I’m no longer bound by that routine. It’s strange to have nowhere I need to be, no schedule to follow. There’s a quietness to it, a sense of stillness that’s both comforting and unsettling. I’m ruminating on what it means to have this blank slate in front of me, and I think that’s okay. Sometimes, change isn’t about jumping straight into something new—it’s about giving yourself the space to simply be.
I’ve realized that the hardest part of change isn’t necessarily the leap—it’s the in-between, the part where you let go but haven’t yet grasped what’s next. Today is about being in that space, about honoring what was and allowing myself to feel whatever comes up. The fears, the doubts, the hope, the excitement—it’s all part of the journey. And even though I’m not “doing” anything today, I’m embracing that. Today is about reflection, about honoring the journey that brought me here, and about giving myself permission to rest.
I know there’s so much ahead—new experiences, challenges, and adventures I can’t yet imagine. But today, I’m not rushing into any of it. Today, I’m just letting myself breathe, letting myself feel, and letting myself be okay with not having all the answers. And maybe that’s the most important part of change—recognizing that the quiet days, the in-between moments, are just as important as the big leaps.
If you’ve ever found yourself in this space—between what was and what’s next—how did you navigate it? Did you find peace in the quiet, or did you struggle with the uncertainty? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s share and support each other in embracing the beauty of the in-between.
