I identify with this in multiple ways. I’m facing a choice that is unlike one I’ve ever made in my 57 years. The choice to leave a relationship I’ve been in for almost 30 years. The grief I float in and out of is uncomfortable. The not knowing my way forward is scary. The staying is also uncomfortable.

I keep receiving this message. I don’t have to always know what the outcome looks like. I just have to keep moving towards it.

It’s excruciating for a girl who loves the comfort of knowing.

I adore this, Lisa. And so relate. I think it's easy for us to be pigeonholed by our outward personalities and titles, and it's much harder to embrace our inner knowing and just be without all those labels. I'm definitely on a similar path of looking more inward and doing what feels right vs what I think looks good to the outside. I feel so much more fulfilled that way. When you said, "There is an embracing of the path less known, knowing it is serving me now and perhaps that’s enough." that completely spoke to me and you worded it perfectly. I hope I can also have courage enough to continue pursuing the path less known, too. Thank you for sharing.
