There are two options, I previously thought: pushing forward or falling backward. What I failed to see, and what I’ve come to show myself, is that there is a third option.
Maintenance. I’m neither striving to better myself nor completely sabotaging what progress I have made. Taking it day by day, not seeing ahead and not returning to the past. It is about the here and now. It is about appreciating and tending to what I have already cultivated.
I don’t currently have the desire to better myself, but that doesn’t mean that I have to destroy myself or completely disregard my efforts. I may not be moving forward, but I don’t have to go backward. For now, this is enough.
