Over It, But Still In It

Let’s be honest — we’ve all had those moments when we think it, say it, shout it, or quietly pray it: “I’m over it.”
But being “over it” doesn’t mean you’ve given up. It doesn’t mean you’re numb, dismissive, or pretending something didn’t matter. When understood in its proper context, being over it simply means this thing no longer carries the same weight. It no longer determines your peace. It no longer gets to lead your emotions or dictate your next move.

To be over it is not denial — it is discernment.

It is the moment you quietly acknowledge: This no longer has authority over me.

I’ve been over many things in my lifetime — seasons that once brought heartbreak, confusion, disappointment, and deep questioning. Being over them didn’t erase the experience or minimize its significance. It meant I no longer lived inside the weight of it.
I could remember without being pulled back into the moment and the lesson remained, even as the emotional hold loosened.

Being over something also means understanding that healing is not instant — it unfolds with time, intention, and honesty. Some things release all at once. Others loosen their grip gradually, as you grow stronger and clearer. And sometimes, being over it is a daily decision. A conscious choice to respond differently. To protect your peace.
To move forward without reopening what no longer needs to be revisited.

This is not detachment.
It’s development.
It’s growth.

Being over something allows you to remain present without being imprisoned by emotion — to move forward with clarity, strength, and grounded awareness.

But being still in it matters too. Being still in it doesn’t mean being undone by it.
It means acceptance — acknowledging what’s present without allowing it to define you.

It’s staying engaged with life, choosing forward movement even as something is resolving, shifting, or coming to a close. Still in it means you recognize what’s present. You notice what’s ending or being refined. You don’t deny the process — you simply refuse to be ruled by it.

You can be present without being overwhelmed. Aware without being consumed. Honest without being reactive. Over It, But Still In It is the space where emotional wisdom lives.
It’s where you feel fully — but choose wisely. Where you honor the moment — without letting it define you.

And sometimes, staying grounded as you move through something is the quiet strength of learning to live embodied — present, aware, and steady, even when you’re over it.
