“This is exactly who I was trying to be before I got here!”

Wow. Yes. True for me as well. I live in an adorable house in a small town in the mountains. I have cleared my days of the many many many obligations that drained me so that I can do what I enjoy. I remember the day in May 2002 when I was about to graduate college, and I sat on the front lawn of my apartment thinking “Now I’m finally free!” Free from the tyranny of classes, homework, stress, and all the shoulds. Then I immediately enrolled in graduate school and got jobs and perpetuated the cycle for two decades. I walked away from it all, bit by bit, and now I wake up in my house of 15 years and your words help me realize “Yes, I am here.” And I’ve been here all along.
