Things are happening.
With or without me.
Decisions are being made.
With or without me.
Direction is forming.
With or without me.
That part feels uneasy.
I want more say.
More time.
More control than I have.
I want things to hold until I’m ready.
They don’t.
The system is moving.
Conversations continue.
Choices get made.
Momentum builds.
With me or without me.
That can make me feel behind.
That’s where I get exposed.
In my relationship with control.
My desire to matter more than the system.
I can opt in.
I can opt out.
I can contribute.
I can delay.
I can stay silent.
I can’t stop what is already moving.
That’s the part I have to keep accepting.
With or without me.
