I was flipping through my day planner today and found this quote:
"Only he who will risk going too far can possible find out how far one can go." - TS Eliot
I have no idea where I came across it and don't recall writing it down...but I took it as a sign that I am definitely doing the right thing. When I read it, I realized that this urge to "go" has been with me for a while...long before I was willing to acknowledge it. I'm too comfortable, too safe. I get that that sounds like a good thing to a lot of people but I need to find out what happens when I step out of "safe and comfortable". Granted, my life got pretty damn uncomfortable about a year ago but that was different. That was a case of things not working out like I thought they would (or like I thought I wanted them to) and trying to figure out how to get out of bed and function like a semi-normal adult when I felt, and looked, like I'd been hit by a bus every freaking day. The "uncomfortable" that I'm facing now is much more welcomed! It's all about figuring out how to make my own life in a new place, totally on my own terms. I'll either rise to the challenge...or get hit by a bus again. Stay tuned.
ps - For those of you trying to find the PERFECT going away gift, may I suggest this movie:
