Interesting. Calling that resting or stopping point the “in-between” but it makes sense. What else should you call it.

I love how you honor the pause as movement, just in a quieter form. The idea that stopping can actually be the most aligned decision feels deeply true, especially in a world that glorifies constant forward motion. The “in-between” you describe feels like a sacred space of recalibration, not stagnation. It reminds me that listening to ourselves is an act of courage, not hesitation.

Yes, I found myself in a place in life where I felt as if I wasn’t moving forward (though deep down I knew the rest was exactly what I needed). It felt like an in-between to me so I decided to write about it!

As an immigrant, I often find myself in between — not fully here, not fully there.Thank you for sharing , love to connect!😀
