All great TV shows start with a strong first season and end with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. Running Point. Sex Education. Friends. Community. Fleabag.

So here I am, just wrapped up my Season 1 and am contemplating what Season 2 is going to look like.

For the rest of 2026, my original plan includes getting my NASM-CPT and visiting Asia (maybe Japan). I’m also planning to spend more time on dancing and working on the foundations. I don’t think the plan has changed, but how I feel about it has, somewhat.

I went from being open to whatever might come to searching for a specific answer.

I don’t know what I’ll find. But the pure, unadulterated exploration is not it anymore.

Rilke wrote, “Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

This quote once brought immense comfort to my heart. And now I need to remind myself again, that I must live the questions.

People are so impatient (I’m so impatient), especially after they (I) get a glimpse of what could be.

I need to find a small pocket in my heart, safely stash away the question, gently pat on it, and say, “There there.” Then one day when I forget all about it, I’d be as surprised and happy as I would when finding a $5 bill in a winter jacket.

I once heard that squirrels stash away so much food for the winter wherever they can, they forget where they store them. Kind of a hilarious image. I could be like that squirrel, doing everything I can do prepare for the winter, only to realize later, oh man, where did I put that peanut?

Back to Season 2 - I’m unsure what to expect. But if I just keep going, the cliffhanger will answer itself, right?
