In a years time,
I’ve quit my job;
(solo) travelled to places I’ve always wanted to see;
committed to writing (which I rediscovered as my gift);
and done a bunch of other things that sound so very cool on paper.
It was all work. It’s all been worth it.
In a years time,
I’ve grown in confidence, becoming more comfortable with who I am (because I know more about who I am);
I’ve moved to a city that I don’t particularly care for — one not easy to navigate as a young, single black woman (when I compare it to NYC). I’m up for the challenge though.
In a year’s time, I’ve increasingly neglected this blog. I started GisforGrace as a way to document the changes I was becoming more aware of. It’s amazing to look back from the beginning. To see how my thoughts have changed (where I disagree with myself) and see what still resonates (what remains present).
I’m literally just living right now, no big plans for school, career, or relationships yet I’m the more excited about life than I have ever been. (hopefully I’ll be documenting it more here.)
That takes guts to do. Guts I admire, but unable to do emotionally although I am fighting too. I am at a transition stage at the moment and it’s scary even though I am not doing it all on my own. it is still scary. So yeah, you have guts. All the best to you in your journey and looking forward to reading more about it. Take care. Peace & Love.
Thank you Guulo. Even I can’t say I’m doing it all on my own. If it wasn’t for the support of other people I’m not sure I could do this.
I so understand this post. Especially the neglect of the blog and the passion with which we start things only to sometimes see that passion diminish in the face of other growth.
