I used to resent that feeling of constantly scrambling, like I was always behind on some invisible schedule... but now I almost miss it, in a weird way. There's a strange comfort in chaos, isn't there? Like a twisted form of control, knowing you're juggling everything, even if you're dropping balls left and right. Maybe the quiet is just TOO quiet sometimes. The funny thing is, I remember thinking that if I could just get to a place where things were calm, I'd be happy. But calm can feel a lot like stagnant if you aren't careful; it's easy to forget to make your own waves. The forest floor is still soft long after the fire has passed. Something always grows back, but it's never quite the same forest. Maybe missing the scramble is just missing the raw edge of being alive.
