I relate so hard to the serotonin reboot, that’s a big reason I never stayed in the northeast! The lion metaphor has never resonated for me. Humans are endurance predators, it’s more of a multi week energy expenditure and then a season of fattening up and enjoying the fruits of our labor. More like bears I think.
I love the way you talked about being time or rest time evolving the more you listen to it. The more you feed it the more it pulls you to things that make you giddy, and the less you feed it the more likely you are to be pulled into self numbing ways of being
this felt like a hug. i’ve been living this struggle past few weeks. now, on the other side i can even more appreciate this beautiful articulation. it felt like a long, blissful exhale 🙏🏾

There is something deeply relieving
in being reminded
that not every season in us
is meant for the same kind of effort.
Some days ask us to move.
Some ask us to listen.
Some ask us to become quieter
than we are used to being.
And maybe part of wisdom
is learning not to call every slower season a failure,
but to recognize it
as part of being alive.
Our inner life has seasons too.
Some days feel light, some feel heavier.
And maybe not every shift inside us needs to be judged—
some of it simply needs patience.
