Am I really done?
I find myself telling myself that I'm done with things. Done with my current job, done with a relationship, done with my life as it is right now, but am I really? I find myself saying it in efforts to stir things up. There has been a general dissatisfaction with my life right now, and yet to think of actually doing something about it, something real, makes me just want to stay where I am. I have had a couple reminders lately of how my life used to be...how I used to be. They came in the form of the song "Breakaway" and in the movie "Southbounders". I used to be willing to just take a risk, take a chance, and my life was just getting good. It was spiraling better and better. Yet, I don't know how to live it here, now. Living in Wisconsin feels like chains on my spirit. I long for simplicity, but have been surrounded by chaos. How did I get from living in ultimate, breath-taking reality to being so numb? I feel like half myself. Honestly, I doubt and fear that the actions I think I need to take won't make any difference, or perhaps may even find me worse off. I am reminded of something I read: we convince ourselves that known pain is somehow better than unknown pain.
