back to self

Back to self isn’t a journey forward.

It’s a quiet return.

It happens when the body softens, and the mind no longer scans for what’s next. When the pace slows without effort. When being here feels sufficient on its own.

There is nothing to fix in this moment.

Nothing to earn.

Nothing to improve before returning.

Back to self often looks ordinary. Standing still. Breathing without noticing it. Feeling the weight of the day release without explanation. A return that doesn’t announce itself; it simply settles.

We return to ourselves not through force, but through permission. By loosening the grip on roles we’ve been carrying too tightly. By allowing the outside world to remain outside, just for now.

This return doesn’t require clarity or certainty. It doesn’t ask for answers. It simply invites presence; right where you are.

You are already here.

And returning to yourself, again and again, is enough.
