This one didn’t go where I thought it would.
I sat down to write about sugar again—
the craving, the control, the come-down.
But instead…
I remembered something my grandmother once said.
She called me into the room like she always did—
calm, firm, and carrying something more than just words.
“Son, make a fist for me.”
So I did.
She said,
“Now tell me—can we get anything in?”
I said nothing.
“Can we get anything out?”
Still, I said nothing.
And right there,
in the stillness between her questions,
she handed me a truth
that would take years to understand:
Sometimes the thing you’re holding onto
is the very thing keeping you from receiving
what you actually need.
This episode isn’t what I wanted to write.
But maybe…
it’s what I needed to say.

Because healing doesn’t always start with a breakthrough.
Sometimes…
it starts with letting go.
