I thought healing would look like progress.
Mornings getting easier.
A clear sense of “better” I could point to.
Instead it looked like Lego.
For months.
Genuinely, I built sets for so long I started recognizing pieces by touch.
It looked like watching the same three shows on repeat because anything new required a decision I didn’t have in me.
Bubble tea was its own little ceremony on the hard days.
Animal Crossing with my kids because nobody in that game needs anything from you.
I kept waiting for it to look like healing.
It just looked like nothing, for a long time.
Turns out the nothing was the work.
I didn’t believe that either, until I was far enough on the other side to look back and see it.
If you’re in your version of the nothing right now just know it’s not a setback.
It’s the unsexy part nobody talks about.
