I have lived my entire life on autopilot and fittings into the expectations of others. I’m now 51 and slowly working my way out of that black hole. So sad it seems to be here at this age and still not have it together. It’s a struggle to get out of my own way and see what’s right in front of me. To get out of my own way and share my writing here or my work with the world. What am I afraid of? Thank you for sharing you perspective. Can you tell, that I definitely see myself in your story both part one and two, which I read first. LOL!!
Thank you for sharing! I want to honor your strength and courage for disengaging the autopilot and engaging in the struggle of uncovering *your* way. It's not easy work—it is actually a scary thing—and so many people never do it. But you're doing the work and that's to be celebrated! Will you let me know when you share your next (or first) piece of writing so I can cheer you on?
Thank you so much for your kind words. This journey is truly scary. And yes, HARD!! But as they say, one tiny step at a time. Hopefully I can get out of my own way and push the button on my first post. Share my voice, which is also so incredibly scary. It will take Bravery to expose what is hidden deep inside, But I will definitely let you know. Thank you in advance ♥️
So beautifully stated. I spent the first four decades of my life trying to fit a mold created by others. Then the next ten slowly breaking free. It’s only recently that I realizing how necessary creativity is to this process. I appreciate your wisdom on this topic.
