Coming here to post this pic from an account I follow elsewhere. The poster was leaving a high paying job to pursue a gentler life.
It resonates with me because I am realizing it is from a place of great privilege that I have been able to find an ease in my life. I have been given space and compassion from my loved ones. I have a community of support, creativity, and inspiration. I have so many blessings. I am reflective because I have been comparing myself lately to external metrics and I seek to realign with a sense of grace and peace with the timing of my life. I have had goals that I have struggled to reach. And now I reach for an acceptance of letting go of these goals to make space for what is meant to be.
Oh, and on second thought, I don’t know how important it is to “gracefully” let go of things not meant for you… I do strive for the awareness and clarity to recognize when it is time to let go. However—- It might get a little messy in the doing.
