Dear change,
You’ve been unrelenting these past few years. I barely recognize my life because it looks so different from what I had planned.
I was the one who went the same grade school and high school with the same 30 classmates for 11 years. I lived in the house I grew up in for 25 years. I worked in one company for more than 16 years. There were times in the past when each day and each year looked so similar to the previous one that I would despair and cry, is this all there is?
But now today doesn’t look like yesterday, literally. I left my cushy job to explore what else was out there and discovered through trial and error what is right for me and what isn’t. I’m a beginner again, with all the humility and foolishness contained in that word. And you are my constant companion, forcing me to adjust, to be uncomfortable, to question the status quo.
Thank you for waking me up.
Love, Aurora
This month, I decided to challenge myself and participate in Susannah Conway’s April Love event. She’s inviting her readers to write daily love letters around a certain theme. I can’t make the daily commitment, but I want to do at least 10. Here are my love letters to love, home, intuition, my future self, courage, money, fear and heart.
