On reorienting a life
A personal note on starting over and how it's shaping the work ahead
Today I’m sharing something personal because it affects how I’ll be showing up here. Most of the post is paywalled, given the more intimate nature of the update. Thank you for understanding.
I didn’t realize when I decided to quit my job last year that my world would continue to shift in such massive ways, but the Year of the Snake proved to be quite effective in its spiritual shedding.
Over the past few months, my life has changed even more dramatically. It’s forced me to reorient how I think about nearly every aspect of my life—how I live, the future I want, what I will and won’t tolerate, and which parts of my life are truly meant to accompany me into my next chapter.
This week, I’ll move out of the home I’ve lived in for the past six years. I’d been itching for a change of scenery for a while. In hindsight, I know now that it wasn’t just because of how long I’ve lived here.
Six years is a long commitment. But it’s not the longest one I’ve had. And it’s not the only one that’s changing.
