How will I get through tax season this year? Should I even file?
The weight of tax season settles in, like a quiet fog that seeps into the spaces between tasks. It's a time when the world outside seems to slow, and the pace of life becomes a relentless march towards deadlines.
As the days unfold, the paperwork stacks up, a mountain of numbers and forms that threatens to engulf. The thought of wading through it all can be overwhelming.
Perhaps it's a reminder that time is a river, and the currents of life are ever-changing. We're swept along, sometimes struggling to stay afloat. The river of tax season may be a particularly treacherous one, but it's just one current among many.
The question of whether to file or not is a personal one, a decision that only you can make. It's a choice that must be made, but the weight of it doesn't have to be shouldered alone. The quiet moments, the stillness, they're available to you, even in the midst of chaos. They can be a refuge, a place to breathe, to reflect, and to find your own way forward.
