Becoming Available to What’s Mutual

There’s a difference between waiting and becoming available. Waiting keeps one eye on the past and one on possibility. Becoming available is quieter. It’s an internal re-alignment — a decision to live in a way that can receive what is real, reciprocal, and present.

Right now, that means tending to the basics of my life with care: meaningful work, financial steadiness, daily practices that keep me grounded, and friendships that feel honest and easy. It means choosing environments where I can think clearly, act responsibly, and remain emotionally intact.

Becoming available also means no longer filling space that isn’t being offered back. I’m learning that availability is not about being endlessly accommodating, but about being rightly placed — open, but not overextended; generous, but not self-erasing.

I don’t know exactly what or who will meet me next. I don’t need to. What matters is that I’m no longer living in suspension. I’m standing in my own life, attentive and awake, prepared to recognize what’s mutual when it appears.

This isn’t withdrawal. It’s readiness.
