Not every season that feels wrong is wrong. Sometimes you’re simply growing beyond what once fit.
Angel: She keeps asking why everything feels so off lately.
Angel 2: I know. Nothing fits the way it used to.
Angel: She thinks something is wrong with her.
Angel 2: But there isn’t.
She’s becoming someone her old life can no longer contain.
– Jacqueline Whitney
Angel: No. She’s simply outgrown where she is.
Angel 2: Humans always struggle with that season.
Angel: They do. They mistake discomfort for failure.
Angel 2: So what’s really happening?
Angel: She’s becoming someone her old life can no longer contain.
Angel 2: So she isn’t lost?
Angel: No. She’s in between.
Angel 2: Between what?
Angel: The life she’s outgrown and the life she’s growing into.
Angel 2: That sounds uncomfortable.
Angel: It is. That’s why it’s called growth.
Angel 2: Does she make it through?
Angel: Of course she does.
Angel 2: How do you know?
Angel: Because the ache she’s feeling isn’t a sign that she’s in the wrong place. It’s a sign that her soul has already seen something her current life cannot give her.
