Day 79

After over a month of not knowing when I could come home, I’m home.

I’m back in the place that makes me happy—the home I hold dear to my heart and with the love of my life.

It felt surreal driving the streets I know so well. Travelling through space that has become second nature. I still feel a bit overwhelmed that I am finally here.

I started to wonder if I’d taken a few things for granted and what I could do to ensure that didn’t happen again.

But then I take a moment to pause because being in crisis mode for an extended period isn’t normal. It’s not something I chose; it made everything else in my life stand still.

I’m so grateful that I get to hit unpause today. Not just to return to normalcy but to rediscover the beauty of simply being. To breathe without waiting for the next uncertainty, to exist without bracing for the next challenge.

In this moment, I am home in every sense of the word.
