Circle(Going in circles)

2025 has been one hell of a ride for me, and I know countless others have as well.

If you look up the word circle, there are two different definitions of the word.

A round plane figure whose boundary (The circumference consists of points equidistant from fixed points, the center.

A group of people with shared professions, interests, or acquaintances.

All these definitions fit the word, but here is my take on my experience.

For two long years now, I have felt like I've been going in circles with all that has happened to me. I feel like a hamster on the wheel.

Going in circles, dealing with healing, and opening up my heart to someone I've met but only been talking to online, and have yet to meet in person.

Circles can sometimes make you doubt everything and make you build the wall of protection back up for fear that if you step out of the circle you've built around you, your vulnerability will show.

Going in circles for most is a way to protect yourself from yourself sometimes, but then the question becomes, when does the hamster stop going in circles on the wheel?

I can only speak for myself, but my life has come full circle, as it were. I no longer want to keep repeating the same thing by continuing to walk around in circles

I choose to keep moving forward and knock down the circle or wall I've built around myself, and move into 2026, with hope, grace, and complete understanding that this is my year to succeed in all my goals, not resolutions, but move in my joy.

My advice to all whom maybe feeling the same is to stop going in circles, pray, and step out into the world and be great in it.
