Like a spinning top that's come to a full stop, my life has just stopped rotating.
It's time for one of those turning points. Those moments where everything you know to be true is gone. Where the next step is solely based on you. Exactly what you want is exactly what happens. For someone who lives by the rules each and every day, this period of limbo is daunting.
The rope that was holding me through life just ran out. I have nothing to grasp onto, nothing to guide me, nothing to make me feel secure and that everything will be alright. It's times like these that one feels like they're in a shaft, going up going down. All we have to move us is the pressure of our hands and feet against the walls.
Some people know which direction is right. For the rest of us who are scrambling, even moving an inch feels like an accomplishment.
But, it's times like these that make you realize you're alive. The mere fact that there is so much possibility in life, where you'll live, work, who you'll be. From love and family and adventures, life is just beginning.
It's time to discard of some things: the friends that never really were your friends, the doubts that rise up in your mind, and the things that just don't enrich you anymore.
As I have learned, change is the greatest gift of all.
