Into The Void

"There come moments in your life when you realize that you have only one thing, and that is yourself. All the props that you use during a lifetime to make yourself feel at ease in the world will eventually fail. If you have been in relationship with others who have fed meaning into your life, someday you will awaken and find yourself alone. if you have children, they grow up; if you have an important position in life, you retire or it is taken away from you; if you have beauty, you become old; if you are powerful, you become weak and infirm."

I love this quote.

About four years ago I moved away from my comfort zone and home of the past fifteen years. My friends, my family, my well constructed everyday life... all let go.

I enjoy shaking things up. I enjoy learning through change. I do not worry about failing and tossing myself into the void of nothingness, how else can you learn about who you are and what you want to achieve. This does not mean I do not like stability in my life. I do like the slower lane.

So... I found myself sitting in a new house, living in a new town, looking for a new job, and with nothing to do but start again from the beginning. What did I do?

I embraced my decision, and trusted the void... it could not hurt me.
