It’s been a hard couple of days. I have finally taken the leap with no guarantee of how things are going to turn out. I have spent these four days being my own cheerleader, comforter, supporter, advisor, mentor… Whatever was needed I became. I focused on the positive aspects of my decision while not totally ignoring the risks involved. My journey through self analysis has been my guide. Me making the effort to know myself and why I am the way I am has its benefits. Whenever I find myself worried about what might happen if things go wrong I now know what to do. I have already seen some of the positive results of me going beyond my fears. I am still not used to this new version of me and sometimes I feel like an imposter. It’s going to take some time for me to settle in. I feel like someone who has just moved into a new home. I am learning to find my way around each day. Eventually I will be able to move about even with my eyes closed and know where everything is.
