Running
through it.

it started with a friend's bet: sign up for a 10k. i could barely run 5k and had just a month to prepare, but i said yes. i was done with dating apps, so my training became a reel series: "could've downloaded dating apps, signed up for a 10k instead."

then i started dating. it didn't last, and it brought up feelings i thought i'd already healed from. i stepped back, but kept running. when my thoughts got loud, running gave me space to work through them. that's how running through it began.

you don't have to be fast or have your life figured out to run, heal and laugh with me. being the fastest isn't the point: showing up for yourself is. take this as your sign to begin.
