Behind the Window

I have been waiting for life to move, only to realize the glass is way thinner than it looks.

Trapped In The Glass

You’ve probably been there, stuck, waiting for the next thing to happen.

It almost feels like watching your own timeline play out in front of you, but you’re trapped behind the window, knocking, trying to be heard from outside of the house.

You try to “wake yourself up,” to push through, but the cold hard glass keeps you separate from the reality you want to create.

Lately, I’ve found myself behind that window more than I’d like to admit.

Pending projects pile up. Things I’d rather avoid inch closer every day. Bills stack, deadlines loom; you name it, I’m probably thinking about it for way too long.

I don’t always know where to go from here.

But when I carve out moments to actually do something for me, I feel myself slip through the glass.

Even briefly, I catch a glimpse of who I want to become.

The Light Inside

That’s what’s shifted.

I used to just sit there, outside, doing nothing. Now I try daily to picture myself as the person I want to be instead of resenting where I am.

And when I do this, the life I see through the window changes too.

My priorities realign.

The world around me starts responding.

Call it manifesting, call it positive thinking, whatever you want—the tool that’s shaped my growth the most has been grounded imagination.

“Creating your reality” is a loaded phrase. Life can feel relentless, bound by factors outside of your control or environment, I get that.

This isn’t a cure-all. But simply visualizing where I want to be has given me two things I didn’t expect: solace when things get heavy, and hope when it feels dark.

Because maybe I’m not as far from the light as I thought.

Maybe that light has been inside me the whole time.
