I’m touched by this. It takes a lot of courage to change. The part about leaving when things are good being a form of alchemy is very resonant . I’ve moved so many times, and as I’ve gotten older—and gratefully, more emotionally, financially, and relationally stable—I’ve had to learn that it’s ok to leave when something is good. Not everything needs to be crisis or reaching the point of desperation. Sometimes it’s a way to try something new. I also understand that this comes with pains. We leave places and people and things are never quite as we left them. But sometimes that creates an opening we didn’t anticipate. Whatever you do, I admire your courage and commitment to curiosity!
Yes, you would know, the courage it takes. I’m so grateful to hear you’re becoming both more financially and emotionally stable, especially as a writer and artist in this mechanized age—I am truly inspired by so many women I know or semi-know, carving their lives from art devotion, love, and trust and ruin! No matter how many times I let go I never get used to it, but I’m learning, oh well.
May we be the first to dance on our own graves in celebration and grief for this wild, wild life experience. ❤️
I currently took the route of graduate school! It’s not a ton of money but it pays my bills and allows me to live with ease in my schedule, time devoted to creative ventures, and with stability. Who knows what’s after this! It’s always such a weird twisting path. I keep trying to remind myself to stay open and see success in wider ways. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like I’ve “made it” but meeting my needs feels like success.
