Everything is Going to Be Okay

“This is the new normal.” Heard that lately?

Ever notice how it arrives with a change you didn’t ask for, don’t want, and could easily live without?

Over the past four years, we’ve lived through an unprecedented era of change. We’ve rethought nearly everything — how we study, how and where we work, how we spend our free time, even how the economy moves.

We were locked inside our homes for the greater good, and just when we got used to that — we were kicked back out into a world that didn’t feel quite the same.

Now there’s political uncertainty, financial instability, and once again, a whole new version of “normal” knocking at the door. It’s shiny. It’s unfamiliar. And it’s absolutely terrifying.

What’s going to happen next That’s the billion-dollar question.

• Maybe tariffs spark rapid inflation.
• Maybe the housing market will collapse.
• Maybe it rebounds.
• Maybe the good guys get into office.
• Maybe the bad ones do. But then again — what’s good, and is that construct even real?

Here’s the thing. Yes, all of this is scary — but that’s not really the point.

The point is: that everything will be okay.

You see, humans are cyclical creatures. We move in moods, and change pulls on those moods like ocean tides. We take change too far, we push and stretch until we’re exhausted — and then, without even meaning to, we crave our way back to calm.

Right now, everywhere I look, I see the same longing:

Stability. Routine. Normal.

And I believe people want it so badly, they’ll start building it wherever they go.

We tend to steer where we want to go — and right now, I believe we’re steering toward predictability. Toward peace. In the long term, I believe everything will be okay. And stable.

But in the short term let me remind you:

You are strong. You are resilient.
When things get hard, you keep going.
When you fall, you get back up.
You wake up every day and try to give your best to the world — and that is enough.
You are enough, just the way you are.

For now, things may change a little. But there is opportunity in change.

Change is fertile ground for creativity, for new possibilities. I know I’ve mentioned the infinite before (sorry), but I’ll say it again: in change, the infinite becomes possible. Life right now is unfolding like a “choose your own ending” story, and I think — no, I trust — you’ll find the one that’s right for you.

You’ll pause. You’ll assess.
You’ll ask yourself how to meet the moment.
How to shape it into something meaningful.
How to leverage this season into becoming the fullest, truest version of yourself.
