Eight months into a cross-country move, the picture looks nothing like what I imagined. This is a reflection on adjustment, resilience, and learning to make peace with change that doesn’t arrive neatly or on schedule.

You don’t need perfect conditions to begin. Sometimes “ready enough” is the moment that asks you to move — even with doubt, uncertainty, or unfinished plans in tow.

A reminder that starting over doesn’t require urgency — just intention and steady care.
