The Start Was Never the Point

You don’t always know when something begins.
Sometimes it’s not the starting line that changes you—
it’s the fact that you kept going long before anyone noticed.

That’s what this is.
Not a first step.
A continuation.
One that’s been happening quietly, under the surface, for a long time.

So no, this isn’t polished.
It’s not finished.
But it’s true.
And that’s what matters most to me.

You don’t need the whole picture to share what you have.
You just need to be willing to say:
I’m here now.
And that’s enough.
