Hello. I’m Sol. A snail with no hurry, no shortcuts, and everything I own on my back.
Some say I carry too much.
But I’ve learned: it’s not what you carry, but how you carry it. Slow doesn’t mean stuck. Heavy doesn’t mean hopeless.
Here are my three slow truths, gathered between the leaves.
1. You Don’t Have to Drop It All, Just Learn to Hold It Differently
Life can be heavy. Regrets, roles, responsibilities.
But you don’t need to shed everything to feel free.
You just need to stop rushing with it.
When I started moving with care instead of urgency,
The weight didn’t shrink, but the burden did.
2. Boundaries Are Not Walls, They’re Shells That Protect
My shell isn’t a cage. It’s a sanctuary. I take it with me because I need rest. I need space. I need to pause.
You don’t need to explain why you need protection.
You just need to honor it.
3. Slow Isn’t Weak, It’s Wise
The world moves fast. That doesn’t mean you have to.
I’ve seen things others miss, because I’m still watching when they’ve already rushed past.
Slowness isn’t failure.
Its presence. It’s peace.
It’s the choice to move with care, not force.
A Final Thought from Sol
You are not behind.
You are not broken for needing time, stillness, or space. Carry what matters. Let the rest be moss on the path. And move gently, you’re still going forward.
