Off the Beaten Path



I haven't written here in 2 years.

2 years ago I was in a weird place, just out of a 7 year relationship and in so many words - lost.

It was a weird place to be - 26 and newly single.  I lived a certain way for so long (I was a kid basically when I got into that relationship) that I came out the other side trying to figure out who I was and where I belonged as an adult, a single one at that.

The one thing I've come to notice over the past 2 years is how much changes in a few years. How much you could grow, how much life evolves and changes; I have had so many different phases in such a short amount of time. I think these years have been my hardest growing pains. Not so much in a way that they are sad, but it is a lot of change and a lot of letting go of old ways and starting anew. A lot of lessons, a lot of trial and error. I think most of my friends are starting to feel this right now.

It's these transitional years when society tells you that you should be settling down - but most of us don't actually feel that itch quite just yet. We like to go according to our own timeline.

That has probably been my biggest lesson, to go at my own pace and learning to listen to my own intuition on what is important for my life at that given time. Not what I feel I'm expected to be doing.

Who knows, but I'm into the journey and I love the direction I am headed.
