Some seasons are layovers, not cancellations. Stay near the gate.

Some stretches are genuinely interruptions rather than endings, though from inside them the difference is almost impossible to see. A pause with no visible progress feels like a cancellation, and the instinct is either to give up on the destination or to force something forward before the conditions exist. Waiting well is its own skill.

Stay ready in the meantime: keep the relationships, keep the practice, keep the thing you would need if it resumed tomorrow. Do not rebuild your whole life around a delay. And be honest with someone about how long this has felt.
