And then yesterday, I hit a wall.
You know, that wall you see in the distance in various situations. That wall that you know if you can't find a way to avoid it, find a way around it -- you're bound to run into it. And once you run into it you have no choice but to assess the damage and then fix what's broken OR just cash out and move on.
Yep, that's where I am now. I slammed into the proverbial wall and I'm now assessing the damage. Which is great. After months in the making, it's almost catastrophic.
But the good news is that for the first time in months, I can see past the wall now. Running into it, broke it down. It also has broken me, but that hardly seems the point.
After months of thinking that I'd care if I hit the wall, I can say that I don't. At least not the way that I thought I would. It's more of a relief than anything else.
What happens next, we'll have to see.
P.S. I've you commented on a recent blog post, emailed me about a post, or anything similar -- I'm going to get back to you soon. Work's been owning me. My personal life has been a disaster. Things are just a mess. But I DO appreciate your kinds words, concern, support. It means a LOT. xoxo.

Good for you! I don't mean good that you've been going through a hard time and had to hit that way. No, I mean good for you for being in That Place...where you've obliterated the wall and are on the other side and can see that there is more, there is a future, and that you're stronger than you thought you could be. I know that place. Intimately. I feared the wall because I thought it was bigger than me, but once I hit it and was broken, I found I was stronger for it. You will be, too. In the meantime, you're in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, walls can suck. Hoping for the best and I will be thinking of you!! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand what you are saying - hitting the wall is important though. I believe it's a breakthrough. I really love how honest you are in your blog - it is truly refreshing!

ReplyDeleteHitting the wall must be a relief. Not that you thought it would be, but once hit, battered and torn....you realize that it's just what you needed. Good luck and best wishes for days to come.
