Over this winter I have been doing a lot of thinking.
My little adventurer is gone, but I must carry on our traditions as though she is still here with me.
I must make it a prerogative to get out there and let myself be vulnerable.
I mean, you are on your own journey. No one can tell you what they think you should do with your life. No one. It is your right to be happy.
So, if you wanted to go out and leave the nest, that's great! If you wanted to spread your wings and fly, perfect. Explore new lands, phenomenal! Want to start over from scratch? Why not? You can do whatever you want.
Looking outside in this crazy dry winter we are having it's letting me focus more on what I want. I see people I know all around me doing what they want in there lives and making it happen. Why can't I have it all too? I can, I'm just afraid. That's what it boils down too in all reality.
I'm a chicken. I need to leave the nest and I haven't. I need to start anew and believe me, I've thought about it and know what I want. It's just figuring out how to pull all the pieces together where I start to get a little freaked out.
But today is a new day and we are going to make it ours.
