Below are two notes written one right after the other and I think they compliment each other rather nicely. May they inspire you to move through the challenges and embrace what lies ahead.
There is a unique movement through grief when a chapter of your life is closing and a new one is opening. The in between is a particular bitch. As you move forward you leave a piece of yourself behind. No one’s talks about coping with the expected changes and the challenges that inevitably come. When a part of you lives in both places, the past and the future, how do you call yourself back to the present. The unknowns of the world seem dark and scary but the routine can be equally maddening.
I am terrified and exhilarated and ready for what’s next. In these moments that drag on yet are fleeting, I embrace the melancholy. I embrace the unknown. I embrace the comforts and the uncomfortable as I have chosen this path. I am choosing to live - fully live- in every breath I take, and what more could one ask for in life.
