Brushstroke by brushstroke.

She begins to see her life not as something to edit or perfect, but as
She almost didn’t open the sketchbook that morning.

There were dishes in the sink, emails in her inbox, and a voice in her head whispering, What’s the point? But something softer stirred too—a quiet tug, a pulse of longing, a tiny
I used to think “becoming” was a forward motion.

Something you moved toward.
An arrival.
A before and after.

But now I think it’s softer than that.

Becoming feels more like circling.
Returning.
Tending.
