Lately, my mind feels tangled.
Not confused — tangled.
Like I know where things are, I can see the threads clearly, but something stops me from pulling them apart.
I’ve realized that knowing isn’t the problem.
Most of the time, I know exactly where the knot is. I know what’s in front of me. I even know what needs to be done. And still, I pause. I delay. I freeze.
Paralysis doesn’t look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like getting stuck on small things.
Sometimes it looks like distraction.
Sometimes it’s avoiding what needs my full attention because moving feels heavier than waiting.
That’s the knot I’ve been sitting with.
A therapist, to me, isn’t someone who untangles things for you. They help you look at the knot without rushing — without pulling too hard. A quiet reminder that clarity and action don’t always arrive together, and that we all need a friend, a therapist, someone to walk alongside us.
And that timing matters.
Right now, things feel messy.
Some parts are ready to move — and I haven’t moved yet.
Other parts are clear, but not ripe. They need time, not force.
I’m learning that untangling doesn’t always mean fixing.
Sometimes it means staying present long enough to notice what’s actually happening inside — the resistance, the fear, the tiredness, the readiness that hasn’t fully arrived.
Today isn’t about solutions.
It’s about awareness.
About allowing myself to go slowly.
To act where I can.
To wait where I need to.
This isn’t a breakthrough.
It’s a pause.
And for now, that feels like progress.
