You Don’t Need to Fix Your Life

For years, I kept trying to fix my life from the outside in.

I changed jobs.
Changed relationships.
Changed schedules.
Changed cities.

Every time something felt off, I rearranged the pieces.
And every time, I brought the same version of me into the new place.

So the pain followed me.
Not because life was broken.
But because I was still abandoning myself inside it.

I didn’t need a new life.
I needed to stop running from the one I already had.

That was the part I wouldn’t admit.
I wasn’t rebuilding.
I was relocating the wreckage and calling it a fresh start.

The pause showed me the truth:
My life didn’t need fixing.
I did.

Reflection:
What have you been trying to rearrange, instead of actually facing?
