I’m part of two colonies…help.

I didn’t mean for this to happen.

I picked up a second scent line near the edge of our territory. I followed it. Just for a bit.

Now I go back and forth.

I carry for them. I carry for us. I don’t think either colony knows. Or maybe they do, and no one has said anything.

I don’t feel fully part of either one anymore.

When I’m here, I’m holding something back. When I’m there, I’m pretending.

I keep telling myself I’ll choose one. I just haven’t.

What happens if I don’t?

Ant Cathy:

You’re waiting to feel certain before you choose.

That’s what’s keeping you stuck.

A colony depends on clarity—on knowing who is carrying what, and where it’s going. Right now, you’re removing that from both sides. Not out of harm. Out of hesitation.

You can move this way for a while. But the longer you stay split, the more you’ll feel like an outsider in both places.

Not because you don’t belong. Because you haven’t allowed yourself to fully arrive anywhere.

Pick the place where your effort feels aligned, not just accepted.

Then stay long enough to be known.
