This is going to be vague-- Today I finally let go a piece of me that I held onto for over maybe 20-something years. It was something at the beginning of my adult life that helped me build a pillar that shaped me as person, and no matter how bad things got, I remembered what good I did thanks to this one thing and made the world a slightly better place. The world changed however and when I woke up from my corporate-like slumber a few years back I was not where I was supposed to be. I went back to the place I remembered as something that was good for me, only it had changed to cater to the next generation, and it rejected me, and it broke my pillar, and everything I understood about anything fell apart.
I tried to rebuild this pillar, but like the past it has turned to dust and there was no fixing it. Today I let it go. I now feel slightly better but inside I am now an empty person, and I do not know what I stand for anymore. Fear of the unknown grips me, but it was like that in the beginning when I first left home.
On slightly uplifting news I got a new job. I can't wait to start this next journey and see what the next couple of years will be like, new and exciting opportunities? We will see.
