The Middle Space (not choosing a side of an argument)

Some real talk

You do not have to pick a side in every argument.

You are allowed to live in the in between.

I have been thinking a lot about the liminal space

that weird hallway energy

not here, not there

just… watching, feeling, breathing before you do anything.

Everybody is like

“Pick a side. Who is right. Who is wrong.”

And my spirit is like

actually no.

From a Buddhist angle this is the Middle Way

and it reminds me of Shambhala The Sacred Path of the Warrior

where the “warrior” is the one who stays open and present

even when everything is messy.

Not checked out.

Not screaming.

Just… here.

To me the liminal space is a sacred pause

That moment before you pop off where you ask

“Is this even mine”

“Is this kind”

“Is this wise or is this my ego trying to win”

In that space

You are not drowning in your own feelings or someone else’s

You can listen without loading your next comeback

You can say

“I see your side”

and also

“I am not abandoning myself for it”

It is also very Letting Go energy

Just putting the desire to be right down for a second

and choosing your peace instead.

People think “middle” means weak.

No.

Middle means I am not letting you drag me into your storm.

I will sit right here in the center and not add more chaos.

Is it uncomfortable

Yes.

Your ego hates it.

Your shadow will want to throw a chair.

But your soul knows this is where you actually grow.

✨ Question for you

Where are you being pushed to choose a side right now

and deep down you know you are supposed to sit in the hallway for a minute and let the truth show itself instead of forcing it?
