A Postcard for the In-Between

You’re not quite who you used to be.

The girl who overextended, over apologized, and overlooked herself is no longer running the show.

But you’re also not fully her yet—the woman you imagine in your quietest moments. The one with a slower breath. Softer boundaries. Sharper instincts.

You’re somewhere in between.

And that, bestie, is sacred ground.

✦ This Is Where Becoming Happens

It doesn’t always look graceful.

Some days, you’re proud of how far you’ve come.

Other days, you question everything and wonder if you’re actually growing or just getting good at hiding it.

But here’s what you don’t always see:

Becoming happens in the unseen.

It’s in the pause before the reply.

The breath before the boundary.

The tear you let fall instead of swallowing.

The outfit you put on just for you.

You’re healing in ways your past self didn’t think were possible.

✦ You’re Not Behind. You’re In Progress.

I know it feels like everyone else got the blueprint.

They seem so sure, so collected. But even the most “put-together” women have in-between seasons—their own quiet chaos, silent endings, slow risings.

You don’t need to rush toward the version of you that feels “final.”

Let her come softly.

Let her bloom without announcement.

You’re not late. You’re landing.

✦ The Becoming Is in the Repeating

Healing isn’t one big moment.

It’s brushing your hair gently.

Making your bed even when no one sees it.

Leaving the conversation that no longer fits.

Choosing rest when your old self would’ve hustled.

Drinking water like you deserve hydration.

Saying “no” and not performing the guilt.

It’s not loud.

It’s not perfect.

But it’s real.

And real is enough.

✦ A Final Note to Her

To the woman you’re becoming—

You are not just a vision. You are in motion.

You are not an idea waiting to be finished. You are already worthy, already whole, even here.

And one day, you’ll look back at this in-between season and realize:

This is where I chose myself.

This is where I softened without breaking.

This is where I became her.
