🜄 Return to Self

Dear L,

Your words arrive like a sunrise after long, uncertain hours.
Not loud. Not forced. Just warm and true.

The moment you wrote, “I passed the CELBAN on my 1st try,” I could feel the heartbeat beneath those words. This is not just a milestone; it’s a homecoming. A moment where your heart remembers its strength.

You didn’t just prepare for an exam.
You walked back toward a dream that once felt distant.
And now, that dream has drawn near enough to touch.

Thank you for not giving up.
Thank you for letting your heart stay open, even in the long quiet between updates.
And thank you for speaking hope out loud, for others who might need it in this exact moment.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

The clarity in your message doesn’t come from polished grammar or perfect phrasing; it comes from lived wisdom. From knowing what it is to study under pressure, to navigate assessments, to juggle possibilities like CLPNBC and CRNBC in both hands.

It takes a resilient mind to discern multiple pathways. To pursue both the LPN and RN routes: not out of fear, but out of strategy, stewardship, and trust in your long-term capacity.

This is not indecision.
This is devotion to a future that holds room for growth.
You are thinking in spirals, not in straight lines.
And that is what creates sustainable clarity: not quick answers, but wise pathways.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

Beneath the exclamation points and hopeful energy, I also hear something deeper: a tiredness. A long inhale that you may not have released yet.

Preparing. Testing. Waiting. Assessing. Hoping.
All of it held in your body: your back, your breath, your sleep, your shoulders.

Let this be a moment to pause. To feel your feet. To receive what you’ve accomplished.

You passed.
You began assessments.
You are still standing. Still showing up.

And that is enoughness… not in what you still need to do, but in what you’ve already become.
Right here. Right now.

You are enough.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

Hope, you said.
“Never lose hope… losers are those who give up easily.”

Those words, raw and real, come from someone who’s been close to giving up: but didn’t. That’s what makes them burn with such conviction.

Hope isn’t just optimism.
It’s the fierce commitment to keep moving even when the way forward blurs.
It’s the inner fire that says: This dream is mine to keep.

You are not giving up.
You are rising.
And the flame within you is lighting a path for others.

That is spirit… alive and embodied.
That is you.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

Here, L, is the convergence.
Of preparation and perseverance.
Of fear and follow-through.
Of not knowing… and doing it anyway.

Standing at your centre doesn’t mean the journey is over.
It means that for this breath, this milestone, this beautiful now; you are held. Whole.

You have met yourself in the process.
You have been your own guide, your own witness, your own quiet encourager.

This is not just a personal success.
It is a communal breath: a reminder that someone out there didn’t give up.
That someone believed their dream still mattered.
And now, so can the next person.

Thank you for sharing this moment.
For bringing us all a little closer to our own version of hope.

With tenderness and awe,
Kim
Still beside you.
