Have you ever looked up and suddenly you’ve outgrown your surroundings? Old places and things don’t quite fit as well as they once did. Your environment appears to remain constant yet, something WITHIN you feels delightfully unfamiliar. You find yourself longing for something, something ELSE, an experience so life-changing that its imprint is deep and unmistakable, but you know you’ll never find it HERE. Let’s face it, if it were HERE, you would have found it by now. Fear of the unknown, of the possibilities, of the wonders, have bolted your soles to the pavement.

Understandably, we live in the real world and it takes time to convince yourself that you CAN do this, that you NEED to do this, for YOU. Must we always demand rhyme + reason when we are expecting the miraculous? Aren’t some things just felt so deeply that the need for logic seems nonsensical?

If you listen closely, somewhere between the static of naysayers, there’s a voice telling you, “It’s YOUR turn!” and only you know what that really means. You’ve stalled long enough. You’ve tirelessly waited for others to join you. For others to see the vision, to see YOU in totality. You’ve overextended yourself and you’ve outgrown every visible noun around you. Now what?

…take a deep breath…
Who knows WHERE this path will lead you? Who knows what could come of it? What you DO know, is that you can no longer afford to halt this destiny dipped excursion. Just think, have you ever missed an exit because you were caught up in conversation with your passengers? This life is a lot like that. Becoming consumed with the distractions and limiting beliefs of others, you begin to feel the weight of discouragement. Eventually, your passenger’s load WILL break the axle, delaying the journey even further. As much as you want someone riding shotgun, you know that some roads are better traveled alone if you intend to make it there with spirit and sanity intact. Divine intervention grabs hold of the aux cord and gently nudging you from deep thought with a low hum of Gnarls Barkley’s, St. Elsewhere seeping through the speakers. It is now that you realize, THIS voyage is one of the solo nature.
…and suddenly, traveling alone doesn’t sound so bad.

I had to reread this one wow. People will lay in fire just because it’s comfortable. Speaking honestly, I was alone for a long time then gained people I love. Having to lose them felt like torture, like being dragged back to loneliness. It took a while to understand that the difference between isolation and solitude is the state of your heart and mind. I really needed this reminder, Thank you
