Personal Reflection
On the surface, this feels simple. Some years speak. Some years listen. Some knock, others finally open the door. February knows which one it is. The air is thin, the light reluctant. Nothing is rushing to explain itself yet.
But beneath that simplicity is a harder truth: question-years are uncomfortable. They don’t reward effort with clarity. They sit you down in the middle of uncertainty and ask you to stay. February feels like that—too early for answers, too late to pretend you don’t need them. The silence isn’t empty. It’s interrogative.
Maybe the work isn’t answering yet. Maybe it’s learning how to live inside the question without turning it into panic. Some seasons aren’t meant to be solved. They’re meant to be endured with honesty intact.

This season feels different — not just colder, but quieter, more watchful. There’s a mystery in the air, as if winter itself is holding its breath. I can’t quite name it, but I feel it. The cold doesn’t just settle on my skin; it lingers in the spaces between thoughts, inviting me to pause and listen.
I find myself wondering about spring. Not with urgency, but with curiosity. What will it bring? What will it reveal? I don’t need the answer now. I’m content to wait, to let the unknown unfold in its own time.
There’s something beautiful about not knowing. It opens a door to wonder. It allows me to imagine without expectation, to hope without needing proof. I feel like I’m standing at the edge of something — not lost, not searching, just quietly ready.
Whatever spring carries in its arms, I’ll be here to receive it. And until then, I’ll let the mystery keep me company.
