Between "no-longer" and "not-yet".

Do you hover between periods of feeling unworthy in the present and feeling overwhelmed when looking to the future?

Have you made meaningful personal and professional decisions but still have a way to go to really be where you wish to be? Welcome to “the void”, your personal in-between.

You know that state
Of being in limbo?
Caught between what's gone
And unsure of what's next.

Knowing it's time to let go
Of what is no longer serving you
But what to replace it with
Is not yet known.

A career, partner, house
Life choices we thought were right
Even bits of ourselves:
We have to let it fall away.

But there is nothing yet
To take it's space
So we are left
With an emptiness.

In psychology
It's called THE VOID
An existential vacuum
Between no-longer and not-yet.

It’s not ‘nothing’.

It’s like an “unknowing”, full of potential.

“it’s beautiful. i totally recognise myself in this text, and I’ve also forwarded it to my boyfriend.”

Sandra

Be kind
And patient
And gentle
With yourself.

It’s that place of discomfort with past decisions

And then a swing to vivid uncertainty and fear about what’s ahead.

Feeling stuck between two worlds…

It can feel lonely
Scary
Sad
Immensely frustrating
Lost.

Uncharted territory.

It’s that hovering between

Not feeling good enough in the present

And overwhelmed when thinking of the future.

This personal in-between

Is the fertile ground of new growth.

It's a dying of the old
Just before the birth of the new.

Rest assured,

Just as the darkest moment

Of the night is

Just before dawn,

So too this void
Will be filled with light.

Try to not avoid this empty space
With useless distractions.
Dive into it
Like the archetypal warrior
Faces his or her dragon.

“You can’t imagine how spot-on this message is for my life at the moment. Thank you for offering such a relieving train of thoughts and energy as they provide a fantastic perspective.”

— Francesco

This space allows you to make sense of

All that has happened for you,

Everything you've experienced,

And what you desire to create.

This is the place where resilience,

Possibility and opportunity are born.

No matter how uncomfortable,

It’s a time to honor

What brought you to this moment.

The state between
The old which has fallen away
And the new that is not yet know,
Will turn into
The fertile ground
Of soulful growth.
And one day
You can harvest your new life.

With love as always,
Karin
