Have you ever had that feeling of standing on the edge of a deep, dark abyss and at any minute you could lose your footing and be lost forever. Well my life has been like that of late. I have been going through some things -- trying to decide if I should go or if I should stay in my present situation and the people in the immediate vicinity are offering no comfort at all. It seems to me that they are smothering me -- pushing a little -- seeing if I can stand my ground or if I will fall never to return to the life I want -- the one I desire.
Have to say I really hate this feeling. I hate being indecisive. I am the one who always has all the answers. I'm the one everyone always comes to for advice. I have the ability to look at situations logically and rationally and make the best decision based on fact not emotion. Maybe that is why I struggle with this decision. There is an emotional element as well as a logical element to the decision. The logical decision tells me to just move on -- this is a situation that right now is not healthy for me and should I not be allowed to be happy and healthy. But the flip side of the coin is that I have spent a long time in this situation. It is a huge part of my life. Is it what defines who I am? I would hope not, but one never truly knows now do they.
Well for now it means more reflection until I make a decision -- a decision that will alter the world I live in and the people around me. Do I have the courage to do what I need to do?
We have all stood at that abyss at one time or another in our lives. What is comforting to know is that there is someone standing behind you to keep you from falling.
ReplyDeletewow! I feel the same way, so hard to make changes or even make certain decisions in our lives wondering what will happen when we do take that step...
