I have been warned, I was told – to break a negative cycle, to re-create a life on my own.
At first, I was moving around in circles, stuck in that one familiar place. But the circle started widening, and to my surprise, while sticking to familiarity, I went far far along, straight ahead.
It seems that I am an adventurous spirit after all. Familiar places were waiting for me in places I considered unknown.
In the liminal place where familiarity touches expansion, I remembered where I wanted to go.
From that point on, each stage of the journey ended with a fresh start, and decisions had to be made.
Could I have taken an easier route?
I don’t know. But I got where I wanted to go, so I see no purpose in looking back, trying to find problems when my problem is solved.
I got where I wanted to go.
At that end came ease, and a mild surprise.
What I wanted wasn’t all that I thought it would be.
Acceptance replaced disappointment, exhaustion gave way to enjoyment, and from this point on, I have decided to take it slow.
Since I got where I wanted to go.
