running into the busy headwind

starting 2025 with a new career role + signing a purchase agreement for a condo.

if i were to share either of those news with someone, the response is always the same: "congrats."

but here's the thing — exciting, "congrats-able" moments don’t come out of nowhere. they’re built on a foundation of struggles, decisions, and countless little nuances that people don’t see. when someone tells me they’re moving to a new place, my first instinct isn’t to say "congrats" — it’s "welcome."

behind every big move or big news, there’s an untold story. i hope a welcome can bring some temporary peace to the mind. like what i'm struggling now — feeling the weight of building the foundation to support these "congrats-able" moments.

my brain won’t stop spinning.

it jumps from idea to idea so fast, i can’t focus.

i’m avoiding things more often that i know i need to face.

i’m more emotional than usual.

i know i need to stop.

stop falling into the trap of being busy and running on autopilot.

but honestly how?

i'm not sure.

that's why i sit down and start writing this blog.
