“You’ve convinced yourself that life begins when all the pieces are in place when in reality life is the act of just that.”
Once upon a time, like so many of us – Garry and I were both effortlessly creative beings and I think we both found healing in it, we had time to explore and connect with our inner visions, hopes and dreams, and the possibilities were endless.
Then, life happened. Marriage, house, kids, and before we realized it we had been sucked into everything society tells us we should be and should do, and somehow we ended up pretty far away from the things in life that gave us the most joy and the people we used to be.
Now don’t get me wrong, and I’m pretty sure I can speak for the both of us when I say, our children mean everything to us and as tumultuous as it can be sometimes we wouldn’t change our life with them in it.
However….
I think where we’ve gone wrong is in letting ourselves become consumed with the mundane and somehow instead of welcoming and enveloping our children into our previous world, we felt like we had to create a new one; one that fit within the constraints ‘what society says’.
So, with new understanding, a lot of realizations, a lot of decisions made and still to be made, we have found ourselves at a crossroads. We are teetering on the edge, still, because that fear that’s been instilled over the years, is hard to shake. It’s a leap of faith I guess…
We are about to take some giant fulfilling bites out of life rather than accepting a plate full of crumbs. Now although these bites may be fulfilling I’m not so naive as to think they are always gonna taste fantastic, but that’s ok, because even bad tasting cake can fill your belly. It’s all about perspective. Catch my drift….
