sometimes, responsibilities get in the way of our dreams. they attempt to rearrange our priorities without our consent. often, we just throw our lives into neutral, enduring until things fall back into place. but other times, we realize we’re not truly living and we must set ourselves straight. it took awhile for it to dawn on me, but my job was one of those things. so today, i set myself straight.

i quit my job… i - quit - my - job…. i have to repeat this to myself slowly, trying to soften the stark reality of the statement. it probably wasn’t the smartest choice i’ve ever made. but sometimes the wisest choice is not always the smartest one.

and now i find myself stepping forward into the unknown. i don’t know where my next step will take me nor if the soil will be firm beneath my feet. but sometimes clarity comes in the midst of movement; answers come in the process of pursuit. i grieve the passing of my security and embrace what is yet to come. i turn and step forward; i open my hands and surrender my heart.
