If you are silent about your pain, they will kill you and say you enjoyed it.
Zora Neale Hurston
Your Year of the Pattern Finally Clear. From far enough away, the shape of what you have been doing becomes visible, and this is the year you get that distance on purpose. A relationship you repaired, carefully, over more time than felt fair, reveals what it was always building toward. You see the whole arc now. Speaking the true thing, the tender difficult thing you held back for too long, stops costing so much and starts returning something. By midsummer, a conversation lands the way you needed an earlier one to land, and you recognize that you became ready for it gradually, over years. The pattern was always there. This year you get to read it in full, and what it says about you is something worth saying out loud.
