Even my daughter said it.
We were driving through Midway yesterday and she just looked at me and said, "Mom, you're living in chaos. You deserve some peace."
And I didn't argue with her.
Midway.
I love that we stopped there.
Because honestly? That's exactly where I am.
Past the midpoint of my life, somewhere between Nelson and Vancouver, somewhere between who I've been for everyone else and who I'm actually becoming for myself.
I've gotten so good at tolerating things that I stopped noticing they were limiting me. The slow background hum of compromise you stop hearing because it's just always there. You don't even know what you want anymore, you've been making do for so long it starts to feel normal.
Standing under that ridiculous red maple, throwing leaves like an absolute maniac, that was me deciding, even just for a moment, to stop tolerating and actually feel something.
Small things.
That's how it starts.
What's one thing you've been tolerating that you just keep walking past?

also, for some reason, The Stranglers song Golden Brown was playing in my head yesterday, so I love that it popped up as an option.
