And there's a difference.
Ease comes later.
Lightness comes first.
It arrives as a subtle shift.
Not fireworks.
Not certainty.
Just a sense that you're no longer bracing in the same way.
When something that's finished is finally set down, the nervous system notices before the mind does.
Breath deepens.
The body softens just a fraction.
Shoulders drop without being told to.
Nothing dramatic has changed.
And yet, something essential has.
Space returns.
And space is where becoming actually begins.
When we stop carrying what no longer belongs to us, attention frees up, energy redistributes, presence becomes less effortful.
You're no longer living on top of the moment, trying to manage it, survive it, get through it.
You're inside it.
That's why letting go so often feels like coming back to yourself.
Not to an older version, not to a simpler one, but to the version that existed before everything felt so tightly managed.
