I’ve noticed that May tends to be a month of important changes for me (a few dating parshas, my move), and each year as May approaches, I wonder what new development is headed my way.
Two friends recently pointed out, separately, that as much as we often feel stuck and as if we are spinning our wheels (in shidduchim or other areas), over time things do change. If you look back at this day one year ago, two years ago, five years ago — your life is different just because time passed and things moved. It’s helpful to remind myself of that — though I don’t know what the next step is for me, I do know that when I look back in a year from now, something will have figured itself out as is the nature of things, and I won’t be in exactly the same place.
