I didn’t see it when it was happening.

I only see it now…

because I’m not doing what I used to do.

You keep checking.

Not the road—yourself.

Looking for something you can point to.

Something that tells you this is working.

And when you don’t see it,

you look again.

This Mile Marker is about the quiet shift that happens when checking turns into needing proof—and how that starts to shape the way you see the road.

From where I’m sitting…

everything looks the same.

Not because you decided to—but because something changed without you realizing it.

It still shows up.

But nothing follows.

Interstate 400

You still feel it sometimes.

Like it’s right there.

Even though you know it’s not.

You just need to stay in it.
