My calender is still packed in a box somewhere, and doing math isn't one of my better skills at the moment...or ever (calculus was a deciding factor in interior designer vs architect career choice). I've decided not to unpack everything since I want to be in the city sooner rather than later.
Apropos post title, little to do with numbers however. Wishing I could understand why this move, going somewhere I barely visited, with 1 friend in tow and 2 brilliant friends a coupke hours away, doesn't count to me as doing something courageous.
I know plenty of people that wouldn't take the risk, make such a choice essentially alone. Way i saw and still see it, I didn't have much of a choice anymore. This move, take this chance, or suffer, maybe leave career field completely. So, to me at least, this still hasn't counted.
Perhaps cutting myself some slack should go on my to-do list...yep, right behind growing 6", dating an actor I have a crush on, and shooting lightning from my fingers...
Stop being so hard on yourself! :) You are an amazing, talented, and courageous woman willing to take chances many people in this world wouldn't dream of. (Starting a new job, moving to a new city, moving away from your parents (granted not this move but many ago) and more!) You went on a journey to find happiness and you will find it - trust the universe. Doing that in itself is courageous!
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. I'll leave this quote from an guy who decided he wanted to go into space.
ReplyDelete“Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult you don't want to become.”
