“The transitional period is characterized by a certain ambiguity, a sort of social limbo.”
What this quote means
This phrase evokes the period between two states, where one is no longer what one was, but not yet what one will become.

Recognizing this 'social limbo' helps us be more tolerant of ourselves and others going through these phases. It's an invitation to accept uncertainty as an integral part of becoming.
