RE: Random Thoughts on a Monday January 8, 2018
I soooooo resonate with what you've written here @mere99 and can't wait to read more of your posts.
I turned 60 last week and I really can't believe it. I cannot connect to being that age. And, like you, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. How did that happen?
I had pretty much created all my dreams by the time I was 30 and since then have been wandering around wondering what I do from here. Trying this and that and finding that isn't "it".
Thanks for sharing the link to The Path poem. Very evocative. I'm not sure I'm actually looking for a path anymore. This is the path. I am on it and have always been on it.
What's different now from when I was younger is that, in all my years of searching, I thought I needed to know where the path was leading. I thought I needed to choose my path.
Now it's more a case of practising simply being on the path I'm on and living it to the fullest and letting it unfold without trying to force it in the direction I think it needs to go.
Easier said than done but I think (hope) I'm ready for it now! 💜
Happy Belated Birthday, @gillianpearce!
I'm so glad you left a comment! You sound like a cosmic sister.
I kind of achieved my dreams by the time I was 40 and I've been wandering and wondering what to do with myself. Granted, after I passed 40 I lost just about everything and got a huge dose of reality that material goods are meaningless, some friends are closer than family, and I can survive just about anything.
So I'm with you 100% to say my goal is being on a path - any kind of path - even if I have to yank the weeds and make my own way.
Thank you @merej99!
I was super excited to find you here. Sometimes I feel way out on the edge in the way at I look at life and am tempted to write for the popular vote. But I'm so weary of censoring myself so as not to come across as weird or upset people.
I left a comment on someone's post a couple of days ago and was tempted to make it more main stream but I decided to leave it. I got a very defensive reply and that person stopped following me.
So when I find people who resonate with what I want to say and vice versa, it is a huge blessing to me! 😍
Steemit has been the one place where I don't feel like I need to censor my writing or responses. Of course I try to be diplomatic when there are disagreements, and I never resort to name calling but most of the time I feel like this
If I said, WRITE YOU I bet you would totally get that -- and don't worry about the mainstream. Most of them are still on Facebook. LOL
