There’s a difference between hiding and hibernating.
In mental health, we often confuse the two. But choosing to hibernate can be a radical act of self-care. It’s saying: “I need time to come back to myself.”
If you’re in a season of quiet, ask yourself, am I hiding from the world, or hibernating to return to it stronger?
Both are human. But one holds the seed of renewal.
