Spring? · Unbreakable

Spring?

You ever notice how fast your mindset changes with the weather out here?

One day you’re walking around thinking… this is it. Snow’s melting, sun’s got some heat to it, you’re leaving the house without ten layers on. You can actually breathe a bit. Feels like you made it through something.

Not just winter… but something.

Then boom.

Next day you wake up and it’s a full on blizzard again.

And it’s not even the snow that pisses you off… it’s what it does to your head.

Because for a second there, you let yourself feel normal again. You start thinking clearer. Maybe you get a bit of energy back. Start making plans. Start feeling like yourself.

Then that wind hits your face and it’s like… seriously?

It messes with you more than the long stretch of winter ever did. Because now you had a taste of better. And it got ripped away just as fast.

That’s the part people don’t talk about.

It’s not always the grind that breaks you… it’s the tease of being out of it.

But here’s the thing I’ve learned living through enough of these…

Spring doesn’t show up clean out here. It fights its way in.

Those blizzards? That’s not winter coming back to stay… that’s it losing its grip and throwing a last tantrum.

Same shit happens in life.

You start feeling like you’re getting back on track: physically, mentally and then you get knocked sideways again.

Doesn’t mean you’re back at square one.

It just means you’re in that messy middle where things are actually changing.

And if you’ve been around here long enough… you know how this goes.
