It usually happens in a quiet moment.
You're loading the dishwasher. Driving home from work. Folding laundry. Lying awake at 2 a.m.
And a thought appears that you immediately try to push away:
"I don't think this is the life I would choose today."
Not because you've failed. Quite the opposite.
You've done everything you were supposed to do. You've been responsible, dependable, strong.
You've carried people, solved problems, and kept life moving forward but somewhere along the way,
your own voice got quieter.
Now you're ready to hear it again.
