Aw thanks Jennie. And holy poetic description! Deeply appreciate the encouragement. Was just checking out your IG shares. Heading out to LA to clear my head. 💜☮️
Cheering you on. This feeling you are describing is my favorite...the brewing of a summer storm, the thunder, the crackling of electricity in the air, the moments before a wild and wonderful rain unleashes. Excited to see what unfolds for you next and to follow your writing which is lovely and brave and wry and full of wit.
I took a leap like that recently. In May, I was employed as a hospice nurse. But it wasn’t very fulfilling anymore and the dealing-with-BS to doing-good-work ratio was WAY out of whack. So I retired. I leapt!! I have enough money to last me to the end of the year, and I certainly may have to take a deep breath and go back to work. But till then...it is seek and explore time. No regrets at all. Not even a moment. Wishing you well as you face your own choices.
Ah, good to hear from a fellow liminal spacer. In education it was similar: BS to Good ratio always a tension. Thought truth be told, it wasn't getting worse in the last year, just not getting any better and I needed a new setting. Not sure what that is yet, as you put it--I have enough to hold me over this year to seek and explore. Moments of wistfulness admittedly as I love teaching....we shall see.
