It Might Be Over Soon

The break in the clouds, the moment of clarity, the motivation to try something new.

 

Maybe my approach has been outmoded, maybe it’s being mentally absent, but sorting through where I am now with being in Portland is very different than where I was a year ago.

 

And yet, it’s really the same. 

 

So much of progress in life is subjective and based on arbitrary, self-imposed mileposts.  Friends older and younger have settled down, started families.  Some of that are a subset that are re-settling into second marriages, and I’ve consciously sidestepped that track to do…something different. 

 

That’s where the self-imposed part comes in because there has been a massive internal struggle to figure out what exactly I’m after if I’m avoiding what I really know to be a trap. 

 

What, then, am I going after?

 

Maybe if I keep extending that analogy I’ve been using the metric system in a US standard  environment, trying to make things work that are sometimes close enough to cross over but most of the time just create more headaches.

 

For now there’s a temporary sense of clarity to enjoy this moment for what it is- the terrifying freedom of looking at what I really want out of life, and how I want to live. 

 

Better go for it now.
