This Is the Season I’m In (and I’m Not Rushing Out of It)

Lately, I’ve been feeling the quiet pull to slow down.

Not because I’m tired in the usual way. But because something deeper in me, something softer and wiser, is asking for space. Not to produce. Not to perform. Just to be.

Everywhere I look, it seems like the world is in a rush. Rush to post. Rush to improve. Rush to “become.”

And for a while, I felt like I should be keeping up with that. Like I should be creating more. Launching something. Updating everything.

But the truth is, I’m not in that kind of season right now. I’m in a slower, quieter, more inward one.

And I’m learning to honor that.

This season doesn’t look impressive from the outside. It’s soft mornings and late-night drawing sessions. It’s warm food from the air fryer, the same playlist on repeat, and stepping outside just to feel the breeze. It’s nights where I animate one blinking eye and feel like that alone is enough magic for now.

It’s not loud. It’s not “content. "It’s real life.

It’s me making art when it calls me. Not because I need to post it. But because it showed up in my spirit and I wanted to meet it there.

There was a time I would’ve judged this season. Told myself I was slacking. Tried to fix it. Push through it. Turn it into something “useful.”

But I don’t do that anymore.

I’m done trying to turn every phase of my life into a performance I’m not here to be “on” all the time. I’m not here to be productive 24/7. I’m here to live honestly. To create from feeling. To follow my own rhythm.

And here’s the beautiful part.

In this slow season, I’ve been finding treasures I never saw when I was rushing. New visions for my art. Clearer energy. More truth in my characters. More freedom in my timing.

I’m not in a rut. I’m in a moment of realignment. And that’s a blessing.

Because even though this season is slower, I still have goals. And I see them clearly.

I’m just not rushing to force them into being. I’m flowing with them. Living with them. Letting them rise as I stay present in my own life.

Because I know I’m already on the path I’m meant to be on. Even when it’s quiet. Even when it doesn’t look like “hustle.”

That knowing, that trust, that presence... that’s the frequency now.

This is the season I’m in. It’s not about growth charts or launches or performance.

It’s about listening.

It’s about trusting my timing.

It’s about showing up real and raw, even if that means being invisible for a while.

So, no. I’m not rushing out of this.

I’m letting it shape me.

I’m letting it hold me.

Because even when I’m still, I’m not stuck.

I’m deepening.

And if you’re in a season like this too, you’re not behind.

You’re just being guided inward.
