Metamorphosis

There’s nothing wrong with being a quitter, at least I never believed so. If I know a situation isn’t right for me and it isn’t working out, why should I feel obligated to stick around? To me, it’s important to know when to put an end to relationships that you’ve outgrown or to leave a job that’s unfulfilling. Not in an avoidant way, I like to think I’ve outgrown that (hopefully!), but in a I know my worth and I know what I want and what I don’t want way. Why settle?

It really hasn’t been easy to give up so much of my old life, right now I feel like I’m in limbo — stuck between mourning how things used to be and welcoming the new energy making it’s entrance. It’s been hard and I don’t have all the answers, just lingering in the unknown for a bit, very uncomfortable yet necessary for growth.

Also, I’m learning the importance of patience. They say it’s a virtue, whatever that means. Not only that but allowing myself to live life at my own pace. There is a lot of minding my own business necessary in this regard because it’s easy to get swept into comparing myself to my peers. The life of a late bloomer I suppose but I know I’m right where I need to be to get where I need to go. That thought gives me comfort — it's what keeps me going.
