Struggling to move forward isn’t a failure of motivation—it’s often a sign that something essential is missing. When pressure is replaced with support, movement becomes possible again, not through force, but through readiness.

Stuck Is Not the Same as Broken

Feeling stuck can make you question yourself, but stuck is not the same as broken. Often, what looks like stagnation is actually a pause—an internal reorganization preparing you for what comes next. Compassion, not pressure, is what helps movement return.

A Black woman sits peacefully near a sunlit window, holding a mug in both hands, with an open book beside her on a wooden nightstand.

Hope doesn’t always feel like joy. Sometimes, it’s simply the decision to return—to your breath, to God, to yourself. This kind of hope isn’t loud, but it’s faithful—and it’s enough.

I Am Still Becoming

What if the real beauty is not in what’s finished—but in the fact that you are still becoming?
