2022: AN UNDERPASS
If I were to consider each calendar year as a highway, 2022 might as well be a tunnel. In this underpass, every aspect of my work and personal life became dull. The dimmed lights put in place to guide me and all of us when we weren’t strong enough, made me grasp the steering wheel firmer and, at times, simply hold on.
Holding on is a confusing state of being, questioning not only your strength, but also the road you’re on. Wondering if an alternative route was a better path, or if its best to just to exit at the next curve. The curves of this tunnel made me realize that sometimes when you’re feeling numb, you’re forced to be open hearted and learn that without these turns its impossible to determine a safe speed, or prepare for the next bump.
Eyes ahead, I begin to see a light crawling through, brightening all it touches and helping me see better, readjust and regain control. This light not only marks the exiting of a tunnel, but hints at the fresh breeze and scenery yet to come. The road widens and traffic signs become clearer as we choose to glide pass the exit signs and simply keep moving; there is a rest area down the road.
Have a shining new year and thank you for being on this journey with LENITA.
Beijos and see you in 2023!
