Lucky escape
Morning Stories: on not getting what I wanted and how it was good for me
I didn’t mean to disappear from your inbox for so long, but I was in a weird place for the last couple of months and couldn’t find my way out of there. I think I managed to escape, but I’m still a bit shaky on my legs, still looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m putting a good distance between me and this place.
Funny thing, that getting out of there was caused by not getting a new role at work. It made me realise that I was worrying about the wrong things and putting my energy in the wrong places. It also made me realise that instead of fighting a pointless fight at work I can use it to my advantage and make my work help me build the life I want to have.
Days are generally grey over here, but sometimes we get pretty mornings. I’m also really enjoying the cooler days and long evenings. The world is getting quiet and I really appreciate it. I need this long period of rest and not feeling guilty about staying indoors so much.
How have you been? What’s going on in your life right now?
