People often believe they are struggling to leave because they haven't found enough certainty. More often, the difficulty lies in what leaving asks us to recognise, let go of and become.

Many consequential decisions become difficult because we are trying to continue a chapter that has already finished. Recognising an ending is often the first step towards understanding what comes next.

Many difficult transitions involve grieving more than what has happened. They also require us to let go of the future we imagined, so we can begin recognising the one that is now asking to be lived.

There are periods in life when the old chapter has ended, yet the next has not fully arrived. The waiting room is not simply a place of delay—it is often where understanding quietly begins to catch up with reality.
